Confidence

The domain is a subdomain of criteo.net belonging to Criteo S.A., a NASDAQ-listed company (ticker CRTO) with 3,600+ employees and 17,000+ advertiser clients. Our antivirus network flagged zero detections across 92 engines, and the hosting IP carries zero abuse reports. The domain is 21 years old, matching Criteo's 2005 founding date, with valid SSL from DigiCert and clean browser blocklists. The 404 error shown in the screenshot is expected—this subdomain is part of Criteo's production infrastructure for client-side metrics collection and does not serve user-facing pages. Web research found no scam, fraud, or phishing reports; independent reviews of Criteo's ad platform are positive. The company operates transparently with published privacy policies, investor relations, and regulatory compliance (including a 2023 GDPR settlement). Blocking by privacy tools is routine for tracking domains and does not indicate malice.

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 client-side-metrics.jp2.as.criteo.net and not a lookalike like c-lient-side-metrics.jp2.as.criteo.net.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.
