    note: The original AK Steel investor-relations host ir.aksteel.com no longer publishes a DNS address
      record (NOERROR, no A/AAAA; last Internet Archive capture 2021-10-22), so the pointer was removed
      rather than left to rot. AK Steel's own profile already stated that investor inquiries are directed
      to Cleveland-Cliffs, the successor entity that completed the acquisition on 2020-03-13; the entry
      now points at that company's live investor page (HTTP 200, verified 2026-08-30).

  detail: 'AK Steel Holding was absorbed into Cleveland-Cliffs on 2020-03-13 and has no web presence left
    to read: aksteel.com is still registered and routes mail to Cleveland-Cliffs'' Microsoft 365 tenant,
    but the apex, www and ir subdomains publish no DNS address record at all, so probes fail at resolution
    and never reach an HTTP status.'
