I recall that subdomains are their own record inside a DNS, which would imply that anyone can claim that their server is a non-existent subdomain of the real domain

        Checks own servers

        Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload

        Yeah, I’d like to see that…

            Yeah, but now you’re talking about communicating with web.archive.org and not nonesense.reputable-bank.com as in the original post. In this case you’re not even trying to hide the fact, that you aren’t affiliated with reputable-bank.com and we’re back to square one and you could also just use reputable-bank.com.some.malicious-phishing.website to host your page.

            Btw: all modern browsers will warn you when you access a non-encrypted website - some immediately, some only when you try to enter data into a login form.

          All that does is allow someone in the middle to potentially read your traffic. So what’s secret about the traffic between you and the Internet archive? If it’s only your login details, that seems like a you problem.

          It wasn’t long ago that most of the internet was http only.
