Confidence
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.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page displays "AI News · Digg" with a meta description matching the official AI news aggregator service. Body text shows a curated feed of AI-related stories from influential voices on X, including posts about MT Intelligence, Google Lens, Apple Siri, and other AI developments. No login form, countdown timer, or push-notification spam detected. The page is a functional JavaScript single-page app that loads content dynamically.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 216.150.16.193 with an abuse score of 0/100 and only 6 historical abuse reports (well within normal range for a major news site). SSL certificate is valid (Let's Encrypt, 63 days to expiry). No suspicious redirects, homoglyphs, or internationalized domain names. External resources load from Vercel storage and X.com — both legitimate CDN and social-media sources.

Domain History

Domain registered 9,605 days ago (approximately 2004), placing it among the oldest active news aggregators on the web. Registrar is NameCheap, Inc. WHOIS privacy is not enabled, allowing transparent ownership verification. The domain has undergone multiple relaunches, including a beta shutdown in March 2026 due to AI bot spam (a sign of active moderation, not abandonment).

Web Reputation

Zero scam reports, malware complaints, or phishing flags found across scam-report databases and consumer-review sites. Business registration confirmed: Digg Inc., Delaware, active status, with offices in California. Founders Kevin Rose (chairman) and Alexis Ohanian (co-owner/advisor) are publicly known figures. Independent review aggregators show limited historical reviews (2.6/5 from 4 reviews on one platform), with criticism focused on past redesigns rather than current fraud or security issues.

  • Page mentions OpenAI / ChatGPT (non-official domain).

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.

  • 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 digg.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • digg.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. digg.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 63 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • digg.com is 26.3 years old, registered on 2/20/2000 through NameCheap, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report digg.com as clean.
  • No. digg.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • digg.com resolves to an IP operated by Vercel, Inc 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.
  • Yes. digg.com sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.
