Visual analysis
We capture a fresh screenshot of the live page and ask a vision model to look for scam visual patterns — fake trust badges, countdown timers, overlay pop-ups, and visual clones of legitimate brands.
Visual similarities noted — cleared by the overall checks
Our vision model noted some visual similarity to a known brand, but the domain, security records, and reputation checks confirm this is the legitimate site — so this is shown for transparency, not as a red flag.

Intelligence
The domain abb.com was registered in 1990 and belongs to ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd in Switzerland. Our antivirus network returned zero detections across 92 engines and the hosting IP carries no abuse reports. The page content matches the company's known business in electrification and automation, with no login forms, countdowns, or data-harvesting elements. Three scam reports exist, but all relate to external fraudsters impersonating ABB rather than the site itself being malicious. The company maintains its own fraud-warning pages, which further supports legitimacy. Visual analysis was inconclusive due to a slow render, but this does not affect the overall clean profile.

What to do
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 abb.com and not a lookalike like a-bb.com.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.

Final Verdict
abb.com is the official website of ABB Group, a long-established Swiss-Swedish industrial technology company. The domain is 36 years old, owned by the real company, and shows no malicious indicators. Visitors should still be aware that ABB itself warns about recruitment fraud emails impersonating the company.
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 abb.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.

- Yes. abb.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by DigiCert Inc · DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1, expiring in 113 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
