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.

Confidence
Six independent antivirus engines (ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, and Fortinet) classify this domain as malicious or phishing. The site presents itself as an acupuncture therapy business in London but provides no legitimate business verification: no contact email on the domain, no postal address, and no phone numbers listed despite claiming to operate a physical practice. The domain is 11+ years old, which initially suggests legitimacy, but the phishing flags combined with absent business credentials create a strong pattern of credential harvesting or impersonation. The page loads Trustpilot and Calendly widgets, which are common on legitimate service sites, but this does not override the antivirus consensus. The lack of any verifiable business registration or contact information is the critical gap.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page title claims 'Acupuncture Treatment in London | Acubody Bodywork Therapy' and uses Elementor page-builder markup. No contact email is present on the domain, no postal address is visible, and no social-media links are provided. The site loads external widgets from an independent review aggregator and Calendly, suggesting an attempt to appear legitimate, but these do not substitute for direct business contact details.

Infrastructure

Hosting IP 191.101.104.185 has a clean abuse score (0/100) and no reported abuse history. SSL certificate is valid (Let's Encrypt, 89 days to expiry). The domain uses cross-domain redirects (2 hops), which is unusual for a simple service site and may indicate traffic manipulation or forwarding to a phishing endpoint.

Domain History

Registered 4154 days ago (approximately 11+ years), which suggests age and potential legitimacy. However, domain age alone does not override antivirus detections or missing business credentials. WHOIS privacy is not enabled, so registration details are public.

Web Reputation

Six antivirus engines flag the domain as malicious or phishing: ADMINUSLabs (malicious), alphaMountain.ai (phishing), BitDefender (phishing), Chong Lua Dao (malicious), CyRadar (phishing), and Fortinet (phishing). Browser blocklists are clean, and our sandbox did not flag the page. The domain is not indexed in global traffic rankings, indicating minimal legitimate web presence.

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 flags acubody.net as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — acubody.net scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. acubody.net presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR1, expiring in 89 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • acubody.net is 11.4 years old, registered on 1/23/2015 through IONOS SE. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 11 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged acubody.net as malicious or suspicious (11 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. acubody.net is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • acubody.net resolves to an IP operated by Internet Utilities Europe and Asia Limited in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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 9, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around acubody.net have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
