Confidence
cdn.esetstatic.com is a subdomain of esetstatic.com, owned and operated by ESET, spol. s r.o., a well-known cybersecurity firm founded in 1992. The domain was registered in 2010 and is currently 5,690 days old — far too established to be a scam operation. Our antivirus network flagged zero detections across 92 engines, and major browser blocklists show it clean. The page displays a standard 404 error, which is normal for a CDN root path that serves only static assets (PDFs, images, threat reports) rather than a public website. Independent security scanners and web-reputation sources confirm the domain is safe. ESET's infrastructure is frequently referenced in legitimate security research and is trusted by the cybersecurity community.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page renders a structured 404 error (HttpStatusCode 404, ErrorCode WebContentNotFound), indicating the root path has no public content. This is expected behaviour for a CDN subdomain — the domain serves static assets (threat reports, images, PDFs) at specific paths, not a homepage.

Infrastructure

Hosted on Fastly CDN with valid DigiCert SSL certificate (113 days to expiry). IP reputation is clean (abuse score 1/100). Nameservers from nsone.net. The technical setup is consistent with a major enterprise CDN operation.

Domain History

Registered November 18, 2010 (over 15 years old) by ESET, spol. s r.o., a legitimate Slovak cybersecurity company established in 1992. Domain expires 2026. Registrar: Gransy, s.r.o. (Slovakia). This age and ownership history rule out any scam or phishing intent.

Web Reputation

Zero scam reports, complaints, or phishing mentions found. Security scanners (PCRisk, major browser blocklists, MyWOT) flag the domain as safe. ESET is a major antivirus vendor whose domains are widely trusted in the security industry.

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.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on cdn.esetstatic.com and not a lookalike like c-dn.esetstatic.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • 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.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on cdn.esetstatic.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • cdn.esetstatic.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 91/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. cdn.esetstatic.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by DigiCert Inc · GeoTrust TLS RSA CA G1, expiring in 113 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • cdn.esetstatic.com is 15.6 years old, registered on 11/18/2010 through Gransy, s.r.o.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. cdn.esetstatic.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • cdn.esetstatic.com resolves to an IP operated by Microsoft Corporation 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.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 18, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around cdn.esetstatic.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
