When this project was first published, the name of the company that published it was AOL. Before that, the company was called America Online. Subsequently it was named Oath, and now it's Verizon Media.
Names change. The common theme: names are not easy, sometimes they are beloved brands, sometimes they fall out of favor. Sometimes they were just bad ideas from the start, but happened anyway.
This gives rise to an interesting challenge for open source projects when you have an open source project in a github org, and the name of your company changes (or your company gets acquired), should you move the project? The problem is real since you don't want to lose your community, but you don't want to be stuck in the past.
Moloch is a serious open source project, run by serious people who care about network security. They published their code under an open source license, showing off just how confident they are that it is solid. You can use this project to inspect packets on your network, you can learn how they built it and become a valuable network security engineer with a job somewhere finding people trying to hack in to your site. You can propose modifications to make this even better (and if your code is good enough, it will get accepted and used by security teams around the world). Or you could focus on the name they chose and the name of the company at the time this was published.
I'd seize the opportunity to talk tech and focus on network security. Infosec jobs pay better than brand marketing jobs.
You can see https://www.verizonmedia.com/our-brands to see the collection of online brands in the family. You might use lots of these brands today without really noticing. There's a lot of internet content you get via https://www.verizondigitalmedia.com/ which is also part of the same company. Aol is still a thing, people do use it. Many people use lots of these brands as part of their internet experience.
You might even be looking for a job as an information security professional. You can join "The Paranoids" team (now that's a good name, don't you think!) by checking out some of their jobs. https://www.verizonmedia.com/careers/search.html?q=paranoids
Naming open source projects is a challenging task. The team hears this all the time, but hey, open source is about code you can use, a community you can join to make the code better, and the pride that people around the world want to use your code. If you are on a blue-team, you'll want to look at this project. If you are making lists of names that distract attention this goes on it.
Sorta like https://www.wireshark.org/. But Moloch is a very active project, used by many, and used internally at Verizon Media. Aol is part of Verizon Media (which brought AOL and Yahoo together). Open source is very active here. ;-)
