Verdict

Advocacy site 'Being Black at School' is currently blocked and its own pages could not be reviewed

Being Black at School is a non-commercial advocacy project tied to founder Kelly Wickham Hurst, identified in external sources as the person who created the project in 2016 to advocate for Black students and parents. During this scan the actual site returned an HTTP 520 error and showed a security block page, so its own page, About, contact and policy text were never reviewed. Antivirus and Safe Browsing checks returned no threat warning and the connection was encrypted, but because the site's own content could not be read and the domain is under a year old, it cannot be rated Safe or Low Risk; the Moderate Risk score reflects that unverified state rather than any identified scam or malware.

Treat this domain as unverified for now. Because the site returned an HTTP 520 block page, its own content, contact and policy pages could not be checked, so do not enter personal information or assume the site is the advocacy project described elsewhere until it resolves and loads normally. There is no evidence of malware or a scam mechanism, but confidence in the operator remains limited by the unread pages and the young domain.

Investigation Brief

Being Black at School is a non-commercial advocacy project tied to founder Kelly Wickham Hurst, identified in external sources as the person who created the project in 2016 to advocate for Black students and parents. During this scan the actual site returned an HTTP 520 error and showed a security block page, so its own page, About, contact and policy text were never reviewed. Antivirus and Safe Browsing checks returned no threat warning and the connection was encrypted, but because the site's own content could not be read and the domain is under a year old, it cannot be rated Safe or Low Risk; the Moderate Risk score reflects that unverified state rather than any identified scam or malware.

What the site is, and what we could not see

External research identifies Being Black at School as an advocacy project created in 2016 by Kelly Wickham Hurst to support Black students, educators and parents. That profile is the only substantive context available about the entity behind the domain.

When this scan tried to load the site, the server responded with an HTTP 520 error and the page displayed a block notice reading 'Sorry, you have been blocked'. Because the page content could not be read, the site's own page, contact, About and policy text was not reviewed at all.

Technical checks versus operator behaviour

The technical side is clean: the browser threat feed returned no threat warning, the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, and the hosting IP carries an abuse confidence score of 0/100 across zero saved reports. No malware, phishing page or malicious download path was observed.

On the operator side, there is no evidence of commercial deception, cross-domain order paths, affiliate funnels or payment traps; no commercial CTA graph exists for this target. The one record that limits confidence is that the registrable domain is only 296 days old, which means the advocacy identity described in external sources has not been verified against a long-lived site the scanner could actually read.

Why the score is 62

The score combines saved deterministic evidence with the grounded analysis available for this report. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Investigation story

The behavior, reputation, and operator evidence that explains how this site may affect a visitor.
  1. What the site claims

    Independent evidence classifies the site as content, but the page's own claim could not be captured.

  2. What we observed

    The page itself could not be fully inspected, so the report relies on the other saved checks.

  3. What independent research found

    2 external findings were saved and compared with the page evidence.

  4. What remains unverified

    2 of the 6 applicable core capabilities did not complete, so those gaps remain visible in the coverage ledger.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Proceed with caution

The evidence is mixed or incomplete, so treat this site as unverified until you can confirm who runs it.

  1. Analyst recommendation

    Treat this domain as unverified for now. Because the site returned an HTTP 520 block page, its own content, contact and policy pages could not be checked, so do not enter personal information or assume the site is the advocacy project described elsewhere until it resolves and loads normally. There is no evidence of malware or a scam mechanism, but confidence in the operator remains limited by the unread pages and the young domain.

  2. Treat beingblackatschool.com as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  3. Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  4. Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  5. Share your experience

    If you have additional context, drop a comment below or post on the MalwareTips forum.

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 beingblackatschool.com a scam or is it safe?
There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give beingblackatschool.com a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. The domain is 9 months old. Until it can be independently verified, don't enter passwords, card details, or send money, and confirm the company through channels you find yourself rather than links on the site.
Is beingblackatschool.com safe to use?
beingblackatschool.com has a Safety Score of 62/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is partial at 50%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.
Has beingblackatschool.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 62 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network that rated it reported beingblackatschool.com as clean in the saved analysis from April 7, 2026. 33 other engines had no rating for it. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is beingblackatschool.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — beingblackatschool.com 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 beingblackatschool.com domain?
beingblackatschool.com is 9 months old, registered on January 2, 2026 through Unstoppable Domains Inc. A registration history of under two years is neither a strong positive nor a strong negative signal on its own.
Does beingblackatschool.com have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — beingblackatschool.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 89 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 beingblackatschool.com hosted?
beingblackatschool.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (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 beingblackatschool.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 26, 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 beingblackatschool.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.

Being Black at School is a non-commercial advocacy project tied to founder Kelly Wickham Hurst, identified in external sources as the person who created the project in 2016 to advocate for Black students and parents. During this scan the actual site returned an HTTP 520 error and showed a security block page, so its own page, About, contact and policy text were never reviewed. Antivirus and Safe Browsing checks returned no threat warning and the connection was encrypted, but because the site's own content could not be read and the domain is under a year old, it cannot be rated Safe or Low Risk; the Moderate Risk score reflects that unverified state rather than any identified scam or malware.

Recommended actionTreat this domain as unverified for now.
