Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
Digg.com is the official domain of Digg Inc., a Delaware-registered company founded in 2004 by Kevin Rose and co-owned by Alexis Ohanian. Our antivirus network flagged zero malicious detections across 92 engines, and the domain carries a clean reputation score. The site underwent a major relaunch in 2025–2026 to focus on AI news aggregation from X (formerly Twitter), which explains the current page title and content. Business registration records confirm active status in Delaware with offices in California. The domain age of 9,605 days (26 years) aligns with the original 2004 launch. Web research found no scam reports, complaints, or phishing flags; historical criticism relates to past redesigns (2010) but nothing suggesting current fraud. The contact-issue flag for "brand impersonation" is a false positive — the page mentions OpenAI and ChatGPT as news subjects, not as impersonation.

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 digg.com and not a lookalike like d-igg.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.

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 digg.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
