First-party site analysisExternal vendor intelligence: Contradictory context — not used for this decision
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
Info2
Info01
Current malicious behavior not reproduced
The reviewed current pages and redirect chain served expected retail content without a malicious download, credential collector or unrelated destination.
Info02
Historical exact URL is no longer active
A specific PHP path had a public mailer report in 2021, but it currently returns not found. That historical object does not provide a reproducible current basis for a broad domain warning.
Review 5 documented observations
View evidence
01HTTP response
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.

Analyst observationReviewed markup did not initiate an unrelated redirect or automatic file download.
03Historical content
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.

Analyst observationHistorical public listing date: 2021-10-23; current response: not found.
04Historical content
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.

05TLS
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.

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.
