The current public website reviewed at the stated time does not support the previous broad suspicious classification. A concrete historical mailer URL was distinguished from present domain-level blacklist warnings and is no longer available.
Analyst findings
Review 5 documented observations View evidence
The apex redirects once to the www HTTPS address. The homepage and sampled contact, brands, shipping-policy and login paths returned stable expected store content or a normal not-found response. Three consecutive homepage retrievals produced the same content hash, and no unrelated redirect or automatic download was observed.

The reviewed content describes a New Zealand billiards retailer and service business. The inspected page markup referenced same-site WordPress and commerce resources plus ordinary analytics and social resources. No credential-collection prompt, executable download, obfuscated navigation or current malware payload was identified in the reviewed pages.
- Page element Barton McGill Billiard Supplies Store | Pool Tables, Cues NZ
- Analyst observation Reviewed markup did not initiate an unrelated redirect or automatic file download.
A public abuse index recorded the exact /.well-known/sand.php path as a mailer on 2021-10-23, which is materially different from a domain-only blacklist label. The exact path now returns HTTP 404 through both apex and www forms, so no current payload could be retrieved or reproduced.

https://www.bartonmcgill.co.nz/.well-known/sand.php - Analyst observation Historical public listing date: 2021-10-23; current response: not found.
The February 2026 archived homepage presents the same billiards retail business and contact identity as the current site. The archive supports business-content continuity but does not prove that every historical server path was clean.
- Public artifact URL https://web.archive.org/web/20260203034544/https://www.bartonmcgill.co.nz/
The apex and www host resolve to the same address, and the presented certificate covers both names. These identity checks support the reviewed host relationship but are not by themselves a security verdict.
- DNS fact bartonmcgill.co.nz and www.bartonmcgill.co.nz resolved to 180.149.231.29
- Certificate fact Certificate subject alternative names include bartonmcgill.co.nz and www.bartonmcgill.co.nz
Scope and limitations
- This review covers the sampled public website, redirect chain and exact historical URL at the recorded time, not private server files or authenticated account and checkout flows.
- The historical listing establishes that a specific URL was reported in 2021; the unavailable historical response body was not independently re-scanned as a malware sample.
- The verdict does not certify every past or future URL, and independently managed external blacklist results may differ.
