Investigation Brief

The domain name mimics the official Brazilian state legislature site, yet the technical scan shows clear malicious indicators. Google Safe Browsing and CRDF both classify the page as malicious, while Forcepoint ThreatSeeker marks it as spam. The SSL certificate is invalid with no issuer and zero days to expiry, which is inconsistent with a legitimate government site. The page loads external social media domains and government-related links, but the combination of blocklist hits and certificate failure outweighs any surface-level legitimacy. These signals together indicate a phishing or credential-harvesting attempt rather than an authentic government portal.

Why the score is 41

Multiple fresh antivirus engines flagged the URL. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

If this is a scam — what it means for you

You were probably about to log in or type personal details here.

If it is, anything you enter — username, password, card number, one-time code — goes straight to criminals, who use it to take over your real accounts and drain them.

If this is a scam, how it works

The typical trap, step by step

This site is unverified — it may be legitimate. If it is a scam, this is the playbook pages like it follow:

  1. They clone a real login page (a bank, email provider, PayPal, a courier) pixel-for-pixel.

  2. You're driven here by an email, text, or ad with an urgent reason to “verify”, “unlock”, or “confirm” your account.

  3. You type your username and password — which flow straight to the scammers instead of the real company.

  4. They log into your real account, change the password, and drain it or sell the access.

If a site follows these steps, treat it as unsafe — close it and don't enter anything.

08 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is al.pb.leg.br a scam or a legit download site?
al.pb.leg.br looks like a likely malware — avoid interacting with it. Our review tagged it for phishing. 3 of 92 security engines flag it (2 as outright malicious). The domain is an unknown age. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
Is al.pb.leg.br safe to use?
al.pb.leg.br has a Safety Score of 41/100 (High Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 89%. Avoid login, payment and downloads.
I already paid or entered my details on al.pb.leg.br — what should I do?
If you've already paid or handed over details on al.pb.leg.br, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on al.pb.leg.br and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
Can I get my money back from al.pb.leg.br?
Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
Is my device infected after visiting al.pb.leg.br?
Simply loading a page is usually lower-risk than downloading or running a file from it. If you downloaded or opened anything from al.pb.leg.br, run a full scan with reputable antivirus software and consider it untrusted. If you only viewed the page, keep your browser and OS updated, watch for unexpected pop-ups or new programs, and change passwords from a clean device if you entered any.
How do I report al.pb.leg.br?
You can report al.pb.leg.br through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
al.pb.leg.br looks professional — how can it still be a scam?
Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
Has al.pb.leg.br been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 3 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged al.pb.leg.br, 2 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is al.pb.leg.br on any phishing or malware blacklists?
Yes. al.pb.leg.br is listed on the major browser blocklist feeds under: UNWANTED_SOFTWARE. Modern browsers use these feeds to warn or block billions of users before a page even loads — a listing here is one of the strongest safety signals there is.
How old is the al.pb.leg.br domain?
al.pb.leg.br is an unknown age. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does al.pb.leg.br have a valid SSL certificate?
No — al.pb.leg.br has an invalid or broken SSL certificate, so browsers will show a security warning. Combined with the other signals, we recommend avoiding it.
How often is the al.pb.leg.br report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on July 28, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about al.pb.leg.br has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
