Verdict

ArtAbout is a long-established Thessaloniki web-development agency with verifiable contact details and no consumer-facing risk mechanism.

ArtAbout (artabout.gr) presents itself as a business-to-business eCommerce and web-development agency based in Thessaloniki, Greece, offering Magento and WordPress e-shop builds, branding and digital marketing. The site publishes a domain-matched contact email, a landline phone number, a physical street address and links to sixteen social profiles, and its portfolio names real client e-shops. The Internet Archive has captured the home page every year from 2008 to 2026, which is consistent with a long-running agency rather than a disposable storefront. The only adverse technical note is a single stale antivirus flag from one engine, while the browser threat feed and the TLS check are clean. Because the site is a service provider rather than a consumer shop, there is no checkout, subscription or withdrawal mechanism to trap visitors, and the score reflects that low operator risk.

ArtAbout is a legitimate-looking B2B web-development agency with a long archival history, published contact details and clean Safe Browsing and TLS results. Visitors can use the contact form or phone number normally. The only caveat is a single stale antivirus flag from one engine, which is worth noting but is not supported by any other indicator; if you engage the agency, confirm project terms and payment details directly through the published phone number or domain email rather than through any third-party link.

Investigation Brief

ArtAbout (artabout.gr) presents itself as a business-to-business eCommerce and web-development agency based in Thessaloniki, Greece, offering Magento and WordPress e-shop builds, branding and digital marketing. The site publishes a domain-matched contact email, a landline phone number, a physical street address and links to sixteen social profiles, and its portfolio names real client e-shops. The Internet Archive has captured the home page every year from 2008 to 2026, which is consistent with a long-running agency rather than a disposable storefront. The only adverse technical note is a single stale antivirus flag from one engine, while the browser threat feed and the TLS check are clean. Because the site is a service provider rather than a consumer shop, there is no checkout, subscription or withdrawal mechanism to trap visitors, and the score reflects that low operator risk.

A disclosed agency with verifiable contact details

The site identifies itself as ArtAbout and publishes a contact email on its own domain (info@artabout.gr) together with a Greek landline number (2310 550.676). A physical address at 90, Monastiriou Str, 54627 Thessaloniki is also listed, and the page links out to sixteen social profiles including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok. This combination of a domain-matched email, a phone number and a street address is the kind of contact footprint a real operating business leaves behind.

The portfolio names specific client e-shops built on Magento, such as TrueWork.gr, Alpamayopro, iFarmakeio.gr, Ilectrorama.gr, Farmakeio101, Goldenpark and Pagonidis. Naming concrete client projects is consistent with an agency that does project work rather than a front that exists only to collect payments.

Clean technical checks and a long archival history

The browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection. One independent antivirus family, Gridinsoft, reported an adverse result, but that observation is marked stale and no other engine or security indicator agrees with it. A single stale flag on an otherwise clean domain is a weak signal and does not by itself indicate a live threat.

The Internet Archive has captures of the home page from every year between 2008 and 2026, with the first on February 9, 2008. That dates when the site was archived, not when the domain was registered, but a continuous archival record over nearly two decades is consistent with a stable, long-running business rather than a recently spun-up scam domain.

What a visitor actually does on the site

The primary conversion path is a contact form where a visitor selects an interest area — Website, Eshop, Digital Marketing, or Logo & Graphic Design — accepts the privacy statement, and enters a name and phone number. This is a lead-capture form for a service business, not a checkout that takes card details or a subscription signup.

The outbound links on the page go to the agency's own social profiles and to a Google Maps location for the Thessaloniki address, and the site notes that it uses SSL. There is no cross-domain commercial funnel, no affiliate redirect and no third-party order path that would route a visitor's money or data to an unrelated operator.

Why the score is 88

The saved checks and analysis found no material threat. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

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.

  1. Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on artabout.gr and not a lookalike like a-rtabout.gr or an IDN homoglyph.

  2. 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.

  3. Discuss this site on the forum

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

07 · 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 artabout.gr legit and safe?
Our automated security review found no threat indicators on artabout.gr, so it appears legitimate. Even so, always double-check the exact address in your browser, because phishing emails routinely spoof real, trusted domains like this one.
Is artabout.gr safe to use?
artabout.gr has a Safety Score of 88/100 (Safe). The saved checks and analysis found no material threat at scan time. Treat unexpected login or payment requests with normal caution.
Could a legitimate site like artabout.gr still be used in a scam?
Yes — and this is worth understanding. Even trustworthy domains get spoofed in phishing emails (a fake message that only looks like it's from artabout.gr), and legitimate sites are occasionally compromised on specific pages. A clean verdict means the site itself checks out today; it does not mean every email or link claiming to be from artabout.gr is genuine. Always reach the site by typing the address yourself rather than clicking links in unexpected messages.
Has artabout.gr been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 93 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged artabout.gr, 1 of them as outright malicious in the saved analysis from October 3, 2026. None of these detections came from the engines we treat as highest-confidence, so they are weighed alongside the other checks rather than on their own.
Is artabout.gr on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — artabout.gr is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the artabout.gr domain?
The .gr registry offers no public lookup this scanner can query, so the registration date was not checked. The Internet Archive has captures of the site's home page from every year between 2008 and 2026 (first on February 9, 2008). That dates when the site was archived, not when the domain was registered.
Does artabout.gr have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — artabout.gr presents a valid TLSv1.2 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR1, valid for another 44 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is artabout.gr hosted?
artabout.gr resolves to an IP operated by REGISTER S.P.A. in BE (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the artabout.gr report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 21, 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 artabout.gr has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.

Conclusion

ArtAbout (artabout.gr) presents itself as a business-to-business eCommerce and web-development agency based in Thessaloniki, Greece, offering Magento and WordPress e-shop builds, branding and digital marketing. The site publishes a domain-matched contact email, a landline phone number, a physical street address and links to sixteen social profiles, and its portfolio names real client e-shops. The Internet Archive has captured the home page every year from 2008 to 2026, which is consistent with a long-running agency rather than a disposable storefront. The only adverse technical note is a single stale antivirus flag from one engine, while the browser threat feed and the TLS check are clean. Because the site is a service provider rather than a consumer shop, there is no checkout, subscription or withdrawal mechanism to trap visitors, and the score reflects that low operator risk.

Recommended actionArtAbout is a legitimate-looking B2B web-development agency with a long archival history, published contact details and clean Safe Browsing and TLS results. Visitors can use the contact form or phone number normally. The only caveat is a single stale antivirus flag from one engine, which is worth noting but is not supported by any other indicator; if you engage the agency, confirm project terms and payment details directly through the published phone number or domain email rather than through any third-party link.
