Confidence
Our research confirmed that aavi25.org belongs to France Victimes 25, an official victim-assistance association operating in the Besançon area since 1983. The domain is nearly 8 years old and is listed on both the national France Victimes network and the French Ministry of Justice directory, which are authoritative sources for legitimate non-profit status. No scam reports, complaints, or negative reviews appear in any web sources. The site's content focuses on victim support services — legal information, psychological help, and accompaniment during judicial procedures — with no e-commerce, financial solicitation, or high-risk activity. Our antivirus network flagged nothing malicious, and the SSL certificate is valid. The incomplete screenshot is likely due to slow rendering of a low-traffic non-profit site, not a sign of malice.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on aavi25.org and not a lookalike like a-avi25.org.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on aavi25.org. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • aavi25.org passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 86/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. aavi25.org presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · E8, expiring in 25 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • aavi25.org is 8.1 years old, registered on 5/24/2018 through OVH sas. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. aavi25.org is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • aavi25.org resolves to an IP operated by OVH SAS in FR (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 15, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around aavi25.org have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
