01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

fmi.univ-bba.dz is the official faculty portal for mathematics and computer science at the University of Bordj Bou Arréridj in Algeria. The site offers academic announcements, downloadable PDF forms, and links to legitimate external academic resources. However, scanner evidence indicates an unauthorized request to the known malicious domain fashion-chicken.com, suggesting the site may be compromised.

Legitimate academic content and downloads

The site displays faculty contact information including the email abdelouahab.attia@univ-bba.dz and provides multiple PDF downloads for academic documents, announcements, and administrative forms.

Cross-site links point to legitimate academic resources including a Google Form for student registration, the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, and a conference management page on Strikingly.

Technical threat indicators

Browser behavior analysis detected an unexpected request to fashion-chicken.com, a domain previously identified in security research as associated with redirect-based malware and suspicious file activity.

Visitor exposure assessment

The site is hosted on a legitimate university domain and contains authentic academic content, but the presence of a malicious domain request indicates potential compromise that could expose visitors to redirects or injected scripts.

Why the score is 55

The saved analysis does not include enough completed checks for a Safe rating. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  1. Analyst recommendation

    Exercise caution when visiting this site. Avoid downloading files or clicking links until the university IT department confirms the site is clean. Consider accessing academic resources through verified alternative channels.

  2. Treat fmi.univ-bba.dz as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  3. Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  4. Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is fmi.univ-bba.dz a scam or is it safe?
There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give fmi.univ-bba.dz a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. Until it can be independently verified, don't enter passwords, card details, or send money, and confirm the company through channels you find yourself rather than links on the site.
Is fmi.univ-bba.dz safe to use?
fmi.univ-bba.dz has a Safety Score of 55/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.
Has fmi.univ-bba.dz been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 90 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report fmi.univ-bba.dz 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.
Is fmi.univ-bba.dz on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — fmi.univ-bba.dz 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.
Does fmi.univ-bba.dz have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — fmi.univ-bba.dz presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE1, valid for another 81 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".
Where is fmi.univ-bba.dz hosted?
fmi.univ-bba.dz resolves to an IP operated by 41.111.0.0/20 LAGHOUAT RESIDENTIEL in DZ (Fixed Line ISP). 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.
How often is the fmi.univ-bba.dz report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 12, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about fmi.univ-bba.dz has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
