That's strange. The archive.ph is another URL for archive.today, a well-known archive service[0]. Could it be it has been compromised?

It's been affiliated with mail.ru analytics for years:

What found strange is the malicious part as thought to mean some exploiting code exists. Is it that or just analytics?

It’s just regular analytics, not different than Google Analytics.

OP is just a russophobic asshole.
