Who owns antifa.com?
A lookup of antifa.com on Whois.com, which provides information on website owners, reveals that the owner’s name is protected through its domain registrar, NameCheap. However, the Whois search shows that the antifa.com registrant is listed as being in Panama, along with a phone number in the 507 area code (southern Minnesota).
The phone number is associated with numerous complaints of scams. In fact, Microsoft won an injunction against the website owners in March.
“John Does 1-2,” Microsoft said, “attempted to access and send malicious software, code and instructions to protected computers, operating systems and networks of Microsoft and its customers.” The corporate giant accuses the mysterious defendants of seeking to steal information by using new domains.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t tell us much about the owner’s real identity or potential motives. It’s possible this link was made to “troll” internet users or to imply a possible real-world connection between Biden’s campaign and the Antifa movement.
Archived versions of the website linked it to a small Twitter account made in April 2020. That account has since been suspended for violating Twitter rules.
