My website (windd.pro) is not being indexed, following the theft of my old domain (windd.ru).

Three years ago, I moved to the domain https://windd.pro (it was originally Windd.ru). For two years, I maintained the old domain and set up a redirect to the new one.

This month, my old domain Windd.ru was stolen. My website and all of my articles have reappeared on it. Why is Bing showing windd.ru in its search results?

My site Windd.pro is nowhere to be found. I repeat, the domain Windd.ru was stolen, and all of my original content is now hosted there.

Before my old domain was stolen, my site had strong rankings.Знімок екрана 2026-05-01 193035

Support on the Bing Webmaster site isn't working. I can't create a ticket.

All original content belongs to the new domain windd.pro.

Can you give me some advice on what to do?

    Bing cannot intervene directly in domain ownership disputes, but there are a few concrete steps that can be taken from the Bing side when content is stolen or misused and when indexing behaves unexpectedly.

    1. Report the stolen / abusive content to Bing
      Use Bing’s "Report a Concern" form to report that:
      • The old domain was stolen.
      • The current owner is reusing content without authorization.
      • Bing search is still showing the stolen domain instead of the legitimate one.
      The form for reporting problematic content is here: report it.
      In the description, include both domains, explain the theft, and specify that all original content belongs to the new domain.
    2. Request removal of the stolen domain’s URLs from Bing
      In addition to the general report above, submit a request to remove specific URLs or the entire stolen domain from Bing search results using the content removal process: Submit a request to remove content from Bing.
      This targets the search index only; it does not remove the content from the internet, but it can stop it from appearing in Bing results.
    3. Use Bing Webmaster Tools for the legitimate domain
      • Ensure ownership of windd.pro is verified in Bing Webmaster Tools.
      • Use the tools there (URL submission, sitemaps, IndexNow, etc.) to help Bing discover and re-index the correct site more quickly.
      • If Bing previously removed or de-prioritized some URLs and the issues are now fixed, submit an appeal via Bing Webmaster Tools as described under “For webmasters: appealing webpage content removal decisions.”
    4. Appeal as a user if there are account or feature restrictions
      If any Bing features or the Microsoft account have been restricted in a way that prevents normal use of Webmaster Tools, an appeal can be filed via the same "Report a Concern" form. Bing’s support team reviews such appeals and can reverse actions if they were taken in error.
    5. If the Webmaster support ticket flow is broken
      When the dedicated support form in Bing Webmaster Tools is not working, the fallback is again the "Report a Concern" form. Use it to describe both the indexing problem and the fact that the normal support channel is unavailable.
    6. Pursue the domain theft itself outside Bing
      Bing’s index reflects what is available on the web and does not control domain ownership. To address the theft itself (not just search visibility), contact the domain registrar or relevant dispute-resolution channel for windd.ru.

    These steps combine: (a) reporting the abusive/stolen content, (b) requesting removal of the bad URLs from Bing, and (c) reinforcing indexing of the legitimate windd.pro site via Bing Webmaster Tools.
