Fake American Airlines job site on a 12-day-old domain flagged as phishing by nine engines.
Score breakdown
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
Website Preview
Automated page render — captured in a safe sandbox. What an ordinary visitor would see when loading the site.
Intelligence
The page title and description claim to be the official American Airlines careers portal, yet the domain aa-careers.com was registered only twelve days ago. Nine of ninety-two engines flagged the site as malicious, with Fortinet, G-Data, and Forcepoint specifically calling it phishing. The hosting IP shows four abuse reports and the page contains zero contact information, no phone, email, or address. External scripts load from successfactors.com, a legitimate recruitment platform, but the combination of extreme youth, blocklist hits, and missing business details points to a credential-harvesting operation. The absence of any web reputation data is consistent with a brand-new domain created for short-term fraud.
