Investigation Brief

The domain but.com forwards visitors to https://www.but.fr/, the online store of BUT, a major French home-furnishing chain founded in 1972 with hundreds of physical stores. The site sells sofas, beds, kitchens and other household goods with standard online checkout and click-and-collect options.

Evidence supporting legitimacy

The registrable domain is 11 139 days old, placing its registration in the early 1990s.

The hosting IP carries an abuse confidence score of 0/100 with no saved reports.

The page displays the BUT header and navigation for product categories such as Chaise, Armoire and Cuisine.

Risk assessment

One legacy antivirus engine flagged the domain, but the detection is inconsistent with the site’s long-established corporate identity and physical retail presence.

No evidence of credential-harvesting forms, deceptive download prompts, or cross-domain payment traps was observed.

Why the score is 92

The page automatically sent the browser to an unrelated external site. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

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 but.com and not a lookalike like b-ut.com 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 but.com legit and safe?
Our automated security review found no threat indicators on but.com, so it appears legitimate. and the domain is 30.5 years old, registered on February 27, 1996 — established domains are far less likely to be scams. Even so, always double-check the exact address in your browser, because phishing emails routinely spoof real, trusted domains like this one.
Is but.com safe to use?
but.com has a Safety Score of 92/100 (Safe). The page automatically sent the browser to an unrelated external site. at scan time. Treat unexpected login or payment requests with normal caution.
Could a legitimate site like but.com 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 but.com), 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 but.com is genuine. Always reach the site by typing the address yourself rather than clicking links in unexpected messages.
Has but.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 96 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged but.com, 1 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 but.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — but.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 but.com domain?
but.com is 30.5 years old, registered on February 27, 1996 through Gandi SAS. 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 but.com have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — but.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Gandi SAS · GandiCert, valid for another 88 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 but.com hosted?
but.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 but.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 27, 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 but.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
