Bare IP address with security-vendor flags and no readable content
This address is a raw server IP rather than a named website. Its page returned an error (HTTP 404), so we could not review any content, contact or policy text. Two antivirus engines have marked it as suspicious, and one external security lookup lists it as malicious. The browser threat feed shows no warning, but that is not the same as a clean record. No specific scam mechanism was observed, so the score sits at the bottom of Moderate Risk.
Where this site sits
- Dangerous1–20
- High Risk21–44
- Moderate Risk45–69
- Low Risk70–84
- Safe85–100
The score combines saved evidence strength and analysis quality. Coverage is reported separately.
Why 45/100
Moderate Risk covers scores 45–69. 2 findings pulled the score down; 1 pushed it up.
What pulled the score down
- ModerateOne public warning on a scam-warning or security site: "Classification: malicious"
- Moderate2 antivirus results marked the URL as suspicious. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe browser threat feed shows no warning.
No points per finding are stored for this report: our analysis weighed all findings together to set the score. Each finding shows its saved severity instead (Decisive, Strong, Moderate or Minor). Community reviews never change the Safety Score.
01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
This address is a raw server IP rather than a named website. Its page returned an error (HTTP 404), so we could not review any content, contact or policy text. Two antivirus engines have marked it as suspicious, and one external security lookup lists it as malicious. The browser threat feed shows no warning, but that is not the same as a clean record. No specific scam mechanism was observed, so the score sits at the bottom of Moderate Risk.
What the security checks show
Two antivirus engines flagged this address as suspicious in a saved, older result, so the timing of those flags is uncertain.
A separate security lookup service classifies this IP as malicious.
The browser threat feed returned no threat warning. The saved TLS check also could not validate a secure connection.
Hosting context and unread content
The IP belongs to the hosting provider Servers.com, Inc. A host-lookup record links it to an unrelated-looking domain name, ormatenqron.com. Neither record identifies who runs anything here.
The page returned HTTP 404, so we never saw what visitors are offered. Because of that, the operator risk could not be judged directly.
Why the score is 45
One public warning on a scam-warning or security site: "Classification: malicious". Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

What the site claims
No page claim could be verified for 172.240.212.198 because no usable page content or saved capture was available.

3 external findings were saved and compared with the page evidence.
What remains unverified
2 of the 4 applicable core capabilities did not complete, so those gaps remain visible in the coverage ledger.
Web research findings
Independent findings for 172.240.212.198, including public complaints, named review sources, registration records, and look-alike-domain evidence. A missing result is shown as unverified, never converted into a clean bill of health.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
