Is brandmark.se a scam?

Our automated security review flags brandmark.se as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.

Is brandmark.se safe to use?

No — brandmark.se scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.

Does brandmark.se have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. brandmark.se presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 63 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

Has brandmark.se been flagged by antivirus engines?

7 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged brandmark.se as malicious or suspicious (4 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.

Is brandmark.se on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. brandmark.se is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is brandmark.se hosted?

brandmark.se resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). 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.

How often is the brandmark.se report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 17, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around brandmark.se have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Confidence

Our research confirms this is the official site of Brand Marketing Sweden (formerly Sveriges Annonsörer), a registered Swedish non-profit trade organization founded in 1924. The organization is listed as active in the Swedish company registry with recent financials, board members, and a Stockholm office address. The rebrand was announced in May 2026 and covered positively in Swedish business media including Resumé and Dagens Media. Four antivirus engines flag the page as phishing or malicious, but this appears to be a false positive—the hosting IP has zero abuse reports, SSL is valid, and no scam reports, complaints, or negative reviews exist across consumer-review sites, Reddit, or general web searches. The site's content matches a legitimate industry organization: member services, training courses, policy work, and events on marketing effectiveness and industry issues. Business registration data, Wikipedia confirmation, and consistent media coverage all support legitimacy.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents as a professional industry organization website with Swedish-language content. It offers member services including training courses, webinars, certifications, policy guidance, and networking events. The page includes a login form for members, navigation to knowledge resources, and links to social media and partner organizations. Body text confirms the organization's focus on strengthening marketing's role as a strategic business function.

Infrastructure

The domain uses valid SSL from Google Trust Services with 63 days to expiry. Hosting IP 162.159.152.23 has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. External resources load from legitimate CDNs (jsDelivr, Cloudflare) and partner sites (Cision, mediasmart.se). No malware or sandbox flags detected.

Domain History

WHOIS data is unavailable, but Swedish business registry records show the operating entity (Brand Marketing Sweden AB, org.nr 556100-4234) was registered in 1965 and remains active. The parent non-profit (Sveriges Annonsörer, reg.nr 802000-1528) was founded in 1924. The rebrand to Brand Marketing Sweden was announced in May 2026 and covered in Swedish business media.

Web Reputation

Four antivirus engines (BitDefender, CRDF, G-Data, VIPRE) flag the page as phishing or malicious, and three others (alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft) mark it suspicious. However, major browser blocklists are clean, and our sandbox analysis found no malicious behaviour. No scam reports, complaints, or negative reviews appear in consumer-review aggregators, Reddit, an independent review aggregator, or general web searches. Wikipedia lists it as a legitimate Swedish interest organization. The false-positive flags likely stem from the page's login form or recent rebrand triggering overly broad heuristics.

Risk Factors

Four antivirus engines flag the page as phishing or malicious, though this appears to be a false positive given strong legitimate business signals.
No phone number or postal address visible on the page, though the organization's address is confirmed in Swedish business registry.
Login form present, which can trigger phishing heuristics in antivirus engines.

Positive Signals

Registered Swedish business entity (Brand Marketing Sweden AB) active since 1965 with recent financials and board members listed in official registry.
Parent organization (Sveriges Annonsörer) founded 1924 and confirmed on Wikipedia as a legitimate Swedish trade organization.
Recent rebrand announced May 2026 and covered positively in Swedish business media (Resumé, Dagens Media, Cision).
Zero scam reports, complaints, or negative reviews found across consumer-review sites, Reddit, an independent review aggregator, and general web searches.
Hosting IP has zero abuse reports and clean reputation; SSL valid; major browser blocklists clean.

AI Recommendation

This site is safe to visit and use. If you are a Swedish marketer or advertiser, you can confidently access member services, training, and events. The antivirus flags appear to be false positives triggered by the login form or recent rebrand; they do not reflect actual malicious activity.

Final Verdict·brandmark.se

DANGEROUS

Brand Marketing Sweden is the official website of a legitimate Swedish trade organization for marketers and advertisers, founded in 1924 and recently rebranded. The organization is registered and active in Sweden with verifiable business records, though a small number of antivirus engines flag it—likely a false positive given the strong legitimate business signals.
