Score breakdown

Intelligence
The domain defa.digital is only 184 days old and carries no visible business contact details. Eleven antivirus engines flagged the page as phishing or malicious, with BitDefender, ESET, alphaMountain.ai, G-Data, and CRDF among the detections. Browser blocklist feeds also classify it as social engineering. The hosting IP shows zero abuse reports, yet the combination of recent registration, missing contact information, and consistent engine detections outweighs that single clean signal. No evidence package was collected, so the verdict rests entirely on the technical scan data.
