This is not DuckDuckGo's official onion address. It is a lookalike, so treat it as untrusted.
The address begins like DuckDuckGo's real Tor onion service, but after the first few characters it does not match the official address. That official address is documented publicly and ends in "...sjasowoarfbgcmvfimaftt6twagswzczad.onion". Onion addresses cannot be checked by eye or by brand name, so a copy that matches only the opening characters is a common way to pass off an unofficial site as the real one. Automated checks were mostly clean: the browser threat feed gave no warning, and 1 of 93 antivirus engines flagged the address as suspicious. Clean checks do not show who runs this address, and the mismatch with the official address is the deciding factor. That is why the score falls in the High Risk band.

No points per finding are stored for this report: our analysis weighed all findings together to set the score. Each finding shows its saved severity instead (Decisive, Strong, Moderate or Minor). Community reviews never change the Safety Score.
Lost money or shared details on duckduckgogg42xjoc72x3s6p6asv6f676fsc76m3uubid.onion? Do this now
Act quickly: the first hours matter most for a chargeback.
- Call your bank or card issuer now
Ask them to dispute the charge or open a chargeback; the sooner you act, the better your odds. Card payments can often be reversed. Bank transfers and gift cards are harder, but report them to your bank too. Crypto payments usually cannot be reversed: report the wallet address and transaction ID to the exchange you sent from.
- Change any password you entered
If you entered a password on duckduckgogg42xjoc72x3s6p6asv6f676fsc76m3uubid.onion, change it there and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. Keep screenshots, order confirmations and messages as evidence.
- Report the site
Reports help get scam sites taken down faster and warn other people.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your money
"Recovery" services or agents who contact you, or ask for a fee up front, are almost always a second scam aimed at victims. Your bank's dispute process and the official reporting services never charge a fee in advance.

01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
The address begins like DuckDuckGo's real Tor onion service, but after the first few characters it does not match the official address. That official address is documented publicly and ends in "...sjasowoarfbgcmvfimaftt6twagswzczad.onion". Onion addresses cannot be checked by eye or by brand name, so a copy that matches only the opening characters is a common way to pass off an unofficial site as the real one. Automated checks were mostly clean: the browser threat feed gave no warning, and 1 of 93 antivirus engines flagged the address as suspicious. Clean checks do not show who runs this address, and the mismatch with the official address is the deciding factor. That is why the score falls in the High Risk band.
The address does not match DuckDuckGo's documented onion service
Public sources list DuckDuckGo's official onion service as duckduckgogg42xjoc72x3sjasowoarfbgcmvfimaftt6twagswzczad.onion. The address checked here shares only the opening "duckduckgogg42xjoc72x3s" and then continues with different characters. It is also shorter than the official address. That means it is not the official service, whether it is a typo, a broken address, or a deliberate imitation.
The Tor Project points people to DuckDuckGo's onion service as a trusted way to test Tor connections. A familiar name is therefore an obvious target for imitation, and anyone looking for DuckDuckGo on Tor should use only the documented address.
Mostly clean scans, but the operator is unknown
The browser threat feed returned no warning. One antivirus engine out of 93 marked the URL as suspicious, and the other engines did not agree. This is a weak signal on its own.
Nothing in the evidence ties this address to DuckDuckGo, and nothing shows what it serves or collects. Its operator is therefore unverified. The risk comes from relying on an address that imitates a trusted service, not from any confirmed malicious behaviour.
Why the score is 40
1 antivirus result marked the URL as suspicious. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.
