Those numbers - 23.253.120.81. - actually lead to a website for the in-universe NY Bulletin, the paper Karen Page now works for.

The site features stories that all lead towards The Defenders' main plot, recounting plot details from the other four show in a clever way and laying out some hints for the ensemble movie, like talking up the “earthshaking groundbreaking” at Midland Circle and the mysterious mention of a“Crackpot Scientist” seeking a “lost city”. You have to think that will come into play in the show.

It's a great way to spend some time before The Defenders comes out and a great little Easter Egg to compliment all the in-show ones.
