Update on Thursday, October 8: Google Security has now contacted me, and has offered me a $x reward in a very Googley way. I have opted to donate the money to charity (Google has therefore doubled the reward amount). Please scroll to the bottom of the post to know more.
A strange thing happened at 1:20 AM Eastern Time on Tuesday, September 29. I was learning more about the Google Domains interface, and typed google.com and clicked search domains. To my surprise, Google.com was showing as available! https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/i-purchased-domain-googlecom-via-google-domains-sanmay-ved
