Overleaf.agency is currently active and appears to be a brand‑impersonation campaign targeting the Across brand. The domain was registered on 04 December 2025 through NameCheap, Inc. and resolves to the Amazon Web Services IP address 216.198.79.1, which belongs to ASN 16509 (Amazon.com, Inc.) and is geolocated in the United States. The TLS certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt (R12), providing only standard encryption without extended validation. An HTTP 307 response is observed, indicating a temporary redirect, and the site advertises the page title “overleaf.ai – Automate your Content Production and Cold Outreach,” which does not reference the impersonated brand but suggests a marketing‑oriented landing page. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain is hosted on Vercel, a popular serverless platform, and the presence of HSTS and Calendly scripts suggests attempts to establish persistent HTTPS and schedule interactions.
The domain’s MX records are both set to priority 10 and point to eforward2.registrar‑servers.com, a generic registrar‑provided mail host, indicating no dedicated mail infrastructure. Nameservers dns1.registrar‑servers.com and dns2.registrar‑servers.com are also registrar‑default. Reputation data indicates the domain is listed on two security blocklists—PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer—both of which classify it as a crypto‑related scam. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100, and VirusTotal reports that 2 of 95 scanning engines flag the domain, reinforcing the malicious assessment. The combination of a newly created domain, low trust score, blocklist listings, and the mismatch between the page title and the claimed brand target points to a high‑risk impersonation operation.
Uncertainties remain regarding the exact payload delivered after the HTTP 307 redirect, the presence of any credential‑collection forms, and the full scope of the crypto‑scam mechanics.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
