Bitcoin.org Hacked and Listing a Scam? What is going on?

I am beyond confused right now and maybe I'm wrong, but when I typed in "bitcoin.org" to try and access the Bitcoin white paper, I was immediately greeted with a scam prompt that does the whole "ANY AMOUNT SENT TO THIS ADDRESS WILL BE DOUBLED AND RETURNED TO THE SENDER!" with a QR code listed for the address they want you to send BTC to. I input the website again on Brave and Firefox with the same result.

This is obviously a scam, but I've never seen the official bitcoin.org website get hacked like this, the hackers did a good job to make it look legit as well so I'm worried that others are going to fall for it and lose everything.

I'm just so lost because I looked on r/Bitcoin and other subs but nobody is talking about this.

Edit: Unfortunately the address has already recieved 0.40 BTC (17.7k USD) since the hack began.
