These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The domain faisst-vorburger.ch was a real architecture firm website registered to W. Faisst & B. Vorburger AG, a Swiss limited company founded in 1992 and specializing in building supervision and renovations in St. Margrethen. However, the company's registration was deleted on 13 May 2024. More critically, our threat intelligence flagged this domain as hosting a compromised WordPress installation that distributed Vidar Stealer malware as part of a Polygon ClickFix campaign in May 2026. Six antivirus engines (ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, MalwareURL, Certego, CyRadar, ESET) detected malicious or suspicious activity. The current page content appears to be a rebuilt or restored version of the legitimate architecture site, but the malware history, company deletion, and ongoing detections indicate the domain remains compromised or at high risk of re-compromise.
