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.

Confidence
The site presents as a genuine local entertainment business — it has a physical address in Enumclaw, WA, a phone number, a domain registered nearly 5.2 years ago, and detailed content about axe-throwing services, WATL certification, and community positioning. However, 11 of our antivirus engines (including BitDefender, Fortinet, and CyRadar) flag the domain as malicious or suspicious, with a reputation score of 0. This disconnect suggests either the site has been compromised by malware or phishing code, or the domain was previously used for malicious purposes and retains a poor reputation. The SSL certificate is valid and current, and the hosting IP has a clean abuse score, which slightly mitigates the risk but does not fully explain the widespread engine detections. The lack of phone contact on the page (despite a phone number in the body text) and the loading of third-party tracking and booking services (ActiveBooker, LeadConnector) are typical for legitimate venues but also create potential attack surfaces. For a real business, this level of antivirus flagging is unusual and suggests either a genuine compromise or a domain with a tainted history.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site displays as a professional axe-throwing and entertainment venue. It includes a navigation menu, service descriptions (axe throwing, laser shot, private events), business story, WATL and WKTL certifications, and contact information including a physical address (1444 Cole Street, Enumclaw, WA 98391), phone number (360-777-IRON), and email (contact@castingironaxes.com). The body text emphasizes community, family ownership, and local presence. No login form, countdown timer, or push-notification spam detected.

Infrastructure

Domain registered 1,886 days ago (approximately 5.2 years) via Launchpad.com Inc., with privacy protection disabled. SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services with 47 days remaining. Hosting IP 104.18.185.50 has a clean abuse score (0/100) and only 1 abuse report on record. No cross-domain redirects or homoglyph indicators detected. The site loads external resources from legitimate CDNs (Google Fonts, Google Maps) and third-party services (ActiveBooker for booking, LeadConnector for CRM, Facebook/Instagram for social).

Domain History

The domain is nearly 5.2 years old, which is consistent with an established local business. WHOIS privacy is not enabled, allowing public visibility of registration details. No indicators of recent re-registration or suspicious transfers.

Web Reputation

Antivirus detections are the primary concern: 11 of 92 engines flag the domain as malicious (ADMINUSLabs, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, Fortinet) or suspicious. Reputation score is 0. Browser blocklists are clean, and our sandbox analysis did not flag the page. The hosting IP has no significant abuse history. Independent review aggregators returned no data (N/A across all three sources checked).

Risk Factors
6
  • 11 antivirus engines flag the domain as malicious or suspicious, including tier-1 detectors BitDefender and Fortinet.
  • Reputation score of 0 indicates poor standing in threat-intelligence feeds.
  • Domain age of 5.2 years combined with antivirus flagging suggests possible compromise of a previously legitimate site or reputational carryover from past misuse.
  • No phone number displayed on the page itself, despite a phone number appearing in the body text — potential sign of incomplete or hastily-updated content.
  • Third-party tracking and booking services (ActiveBooker, LeadConnector, msgsndr) loaded on the page create potential attack surfaces if those services are compromised.
  • Global traffic index shows the site is not indexed, which is unusual for an established local business and may indicate recent delisting or poor SEO health.
Positive Signals
5
  • Domain registered 1,886 days ago, consistent with an established business rather than a newly-created scam site.
  • Valid SSL certificate issued by a trusted certificate authority (Google Trust Services).
  • Hosting IP has a clean abuse score (0/100) with minimal abuse reports.
  • Physical address, email, and phone number provided; WHOIS privacy disabled, allowing verification of registration details.
  • Detailed, professional page content describing legitimate services (axe throwing, laser shot, private events) with WATL and WKTL certifications.
AI Recommendation
Do not enter payment information on this site until the antivirus flagging is resolved. Contact the business directly using the phone number or address provided to verify the site's legitimacy and ask whether they are aware of the security flags. If you are a customer of this venue, use their booking system only after confirming with them that the site is secure.
