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.

The page title is 'EmailLogin' and the body contains a fake email login form with obfuscated password text (using HTML entities to evade detection). Six tier-1 antivirus engines—BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, Emsisoft, G-Data, and CRDF—all flag this as phishing or malicious. The domain uses an IPFS gateway (.ipfs.dweb.link) layered over a low-trust .link TLD, a combination heavily exploited by credential-harvesting farms. The page has no legitimate contact information, no business registration, and loads external resources from CDNs commonly used in phishing kits. The SSL certificate is valid but recent (68 days to expiry), typical of throwaway phishing infrastructure. This is a straightforward credential-theft attack.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page displays a fake email login form titled 'EmailLogin' with fields for email and password. The password label uses HTML entity encoding (ао) to obfuscate Cyrillic characters, a common evasion technique. No legitimate business information, contact details, or privacy policy are present. The page is minimal and focused solely on credential capture.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted on an IPFS gateway (ipfs.dweb.link) with the actual content hash in the subdomain. The hosting IP 209.94.90.3 has a clean abuse score but the domain itself is flagged by multiple antivirus engines. SSL is valid via Let's Encrypt but recently issued, typical of ephemeral phishing infrastructure.

Domain History

The .link TLD is known for high concentrations of phishing and scam sites. The domain age is 3396 days (approximately 9.3 years), but this refers to the .link TLD registration history, not this specific subdomain. IPFS gateway subdomains are dynamically generated and do not reflect true domain age or operator history.

Web Reputation

Six major antivirus engines flag this page as phishing or malicious: BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, Emsisoft, G-Data, and CRDF. Browser blocklists are currently clean, but the high engine consensus indicates active phishing infrastructure. No legitimate business registration or positive trust signals exist.

Risk Factors
7
  • Six antivirus engines (BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, Emsisoft, G-Data, CRDF) flag as phishing or malicious.
  • Fake email login form with obfuscated password field using HTML entity encoding to evade detection.
  • Hosted on low-trust .link TLD, heavily exploited by phishing farms and credential-theft operations.
  • No contact information, business registration, or legitimate business signals anywhere on the page.
  • IPFS gateway subdomain with dynamically generated hash—typical of disposable phishing infrastructure.
  • SSL certificate recently issued (68 days to expiry), consistent with throwaway phishing setup.
  • External resources loaded from CDNs commonly bundled in phishing kits (cdn.jsdelivr.net, cdnjs.cloudflare.com).
AI Recommendation
Do not enter any credentials on this page. If you received a link to this site in an email, report it as phishing to your email provider. Clear your browser cache and check your email account password immediately if you have already entered credentials.
