Intelligence
The domain edu3.screenconnect.com is a 21.7-year-old subdomain of the official screenconnect.com platform operated by ConnectWise. Our antivirus network and browser blocklists returned clean results with zero detections. The page displays a standard, functional ScreenConnect interface with no deceptive patterns visible. Evidence shows the software itself is legitimate, yet multiple documented campaigns show scammers impersonating trusted brands to coerce victims into downloading and running ScreenConnect. The risk stems from how the tool is misused rather than from the domain itself being malicious.

Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for edu3.screenconnect.com, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- edu3.screenconnect.com is a legitimate subdomain of screenconnect.com, which is the official domain for ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect) remote support software.
- The domain itself is not malicious; it is a hosting portal for remote support sessions used by IT professionals and organizations.
- While the software is legitimate, threat actors frequently abuse ScreenConnect by tricking victims into installing it to gain unauthorized remote access to their computers.
- Security researchers have documented numerous campaigns where scammers impersonate trusted brands (e.g., Zoom, Social Security Administration) to coerce users into downloading ScreenConnect.
- Users should only connect to ScreenConnect sessions provided by individuals or organizations they explicitly trust and have verified.

"Cyble Research and Intelligence Labs (CRIL) has uncovered a phishing site designed to mimic Zoom, which facilitates the download of ScreenConnect software."
ScreenConnect is a product of ConnectWise, LLC, a legitimate IT management software company.
Two sources describe how fraudsters use ScreenConnect in social-engineering attacks. One article from pcrisk.com explains email campaigns that distribute the client to install malware. A second report from cyble.com details phishing sites impersonating Zoom to push ScreenConnect downloads targeting Social Security beneficiaries. No scam reports or complaints specifically mention edu3.screenconnect.com. The evidence confirms the software is legitimate but frequently abused by threat actors.

Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- edu3.screenconnect.com raises serious red flags as a scam site — avoid interacting with it. The domain is 21.7 years old through eNom, LLC. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
- Proceed with caution — edu3.screenconnect.com scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend verifying it through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
- If you've already paid or handed over details on edu3.screenconnect.com, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on edu3.screenconnect.com and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
- Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
- Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.
- You can report edu3.screenconnect.com through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
- Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
- No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report edu3.screenconnect.com as clean. 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.
- No — edu3.screenconnect.com 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.
- edu3.screenconnect.com is 21.7 years old, registered on October 26, 2004 through eNom, LLC. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
- Yes — edu3.screenconnect.com presents a valid TLSv1.2 certificate issued by DigiCert Inc · DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1, valid for another 252 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
- edu3.screenconnect.com resolves to an IP operated by OVH Ltd in GB (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.
