Verdict

Inactive development subdomain shows a default server page, not an active service

dev.ctvmichigan.org is a subdomain of ctvmichigan.org, the domain of Citizens for Traditional Values Michigan. The subdomain itself currently serves a default Apache 'SORRY!' page rather than any real content, and the connection was served over plain HTTP without a validated TLS certificate. No malicious or suspicious detections were recorded, and the parent domain is long-established, but the subdomain's own purpose and operator remain unverified. The score reflects a low-risk, non-functional host rather than a safe, actively maintained service.

Do not treat this subdomain as an active or trustworthy service. It currently serves a default server page over plain HTTP with no validated certificate, so avoid entering any credentials or personal information. If you need the organization's real site, use the main ctvmichigan.org domain and verify contact details there rather than on this development host.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

dev.ctvmichigan.org is a subdomain of ctvmichigan.org, the domain of Citizens for Traditional Values Michigan. The subdomain itself currently serves a default Apache 'SORRY!' page rather than any real content, and the connection was served over plain HTTP without a validated TLS certificate. No malicious or suspicious detections were recorded, and the parent domain is long-established, but the subdomain's own purpose and operator remain unverified. The score reflects a low-risk, non-functional host rather than a safe, actively maintained service.

Technical checks show no detections but an unvalidated, plain-HTTP connection

The saved antivirus analysis recorded 0 malicious and 0 suspicious detections across 93 engines, and the browser threat feed returned no threat warning for this host. Those results mean no known threat was flagged at scan time; they do not by themselves establish that the site is trustworthy or actively maintained.

The saved TLS check did not validate the connection, and the scanned address was served over plain HTTP. Combined with the default server page, this is consistent with a development or misconfigured host rather than a production service with a properly configured certificate.

Parent domain is long-established, but the subdomain's own operator and purpose are unverified

The registrable domain ctvmichigan.org is 8326 days old, which is a supportive signal for the parent domain. That age does not show how long the dev subdomain itself has existed, and the subdomain is the actual target here.

The site's own contact details were not reviewed because the page text was not read in full, so no operator identity, registration, or contact information can be confirmed from the target itself. The hosting IP has an abuse confidence score of 0/100 across 0 saved reports, which is neutral context rather than a clean bill of health.

Why the score is 78

The saved checks found no material threat, but the evidence was not strong enough for the highest Safe tier. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The behavior, reputation, and operator evidence that explains how this site may affect a visitor.
  1. What the site claims

    The captured page did not expose a clear title or service claim.

  2. What we observed

    The page content was captured and checked alongside 58 antivirus results.

  3. What independent research found

    The search completed without a material external warning or corroborating report.

  4. What remains unverified

    1 of the 6 applicable core capabilities did not complete, so those gaps remain visible in the coverage ledger.

Web research findings

Independent findings for dev.ctvmichigan.org, including public complaints, named review sources, registration records, and look-alike-domain evidence. A missing result is shown as unverified, never converted into a clean bill of health.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before sensitive actions

No material threat was found, but the evidence was not strong enough for the highest Safe tier.

  1. Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on dev.ctvmichigan.org and not a lookalike like d-ev.ctvmichigan.org or an IDN homoglyph.

  2. Verify the operator before paying or signing in

    Before a payment, login, or other sensitive step, confirm who runs the site through channels you find yourself, such as an official registry or the company's known social profiles.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 dev.ctvmichigan.org a scam or is it safe?
dev.ctvmichigan.org has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is dev.ctvmichigan.org safe to use?
dev.ctvmichigan.org has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 89%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has dev.ctvmichigan.org been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 58 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network that rated it report dev.ctvmichigan.org as clean. 35 other engines had no rating for it. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is dev.ctvmichigan.org on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — dev.ctvmichigan.org 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 dev.ctvmichigan.org domain?
dev.ctvmichigan.org is a subdomain of ctvmichigan.org, which is 22 years old, registered on January 8, 2004 through Squarespace Domains II LLC. That is the parent domain's registration age: it does not show how long dev.ctvmichigan.org itself has existed or who runs it, so it is weighed alongside the other checks.
Does dev.ctvmichigan.org have a valid SSL certificate?
No — dev.ctvmichigan.org has an invalid or broken SSL certificate, so browsers will show a security warning. Combined with the other signals, we recommend avoiding it.
Where is dev.ctvmichigan.org hosted?
dev.ctvmichigan.org resolves to an IP operated by Smart Link Solutions in US (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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 dev.ctvmichigan.org report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 26, 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 dev.ctvmichigan.org has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.

Conclusion

dev.ctvmichigan.org is a subdomain of ctvmichigan.org, the domain of Citizens for Traditional Values Michigan. The subdomain itself currently serves a default Apache 'SORRY!' page rather than any real content, and the connection was served over plain HTTP without a validated TLS certificate. No malicious or suspicious detections were recorded, and the parent domain is long-established, but the subdomain's own purpose and operator remain unverified. The score reflects a low-risk, non-functional host rather than a safe, actively maintained service.

Recommended actionDo not treat this subdomain as an active or trustworthy service. It currently serves a default server page over plain HTTP with no validated certificate, so avoid entering any credentials or personal information. If you need the organization's real site, use the main ctvmichigan.org domain and verify contact details there rather than on this development host.
