  The zone answers for names that do not exist: it has a wildcard.

  A made-up name under the domain got an answer, so a wildcard record (RFC 4592) covers names nobody created. The evidence lists the record types that answered. That is fine for catch-all web hosting, but typing errors in host names then resolve instead of failing.
