security issue: BigQuery project name contains misleading ".org" suffix #82

Description

@xhackingz

In the file [auto_sizing/targets.py]

(

from_expr="mozdata.org_mozilla_ios_firefox.baseline_clients_daily",
):

from_expr="`moz-fx-data-shared-prod.org_mozilla_ios_firefox.baseline_clients_first_seen`"

The string moz-fx-data-shared-prod.org looks like a real domain, and in fact:

The domain [moz-fx-data-shared-prod.org]

(https://www.namecheap.com/domains/registration/results/?domain=moz-fx-data-shared-prod.org) is currently available for registration on Namecheap.

This is not a security vulnerability, but a naming confusion risk:

Contributors may mistakenly search for documentation at moz-fx-data-shared-prod.org.
Creates a very weak social engineering vector (e.g., manual phishing if someone visits the domain).
