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 site is a clear impersonation of the legitimate CCTV.com global platform, using a completely unrelated domain name (relink-tech.cn) to host the content. Our antivirus network shows a high level of consensus, with six reputable engines including Kaspersky, Fortinet, and Netcraft flagging the URL as a phishing threat. While the page content looks like a standard news portal, the infrastructure is highly suspicious and lacks any official business registration or traffic ranking. The use of a third-party subdomain to mirror a major state media outlet is a classic tactic used to bypass filters or harvest data. We have high confidence that this is a malicious setup designed to deceive users.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page is a pixel-perfect copy of the CCTV overseas channel, featuring news about giant pandas, cultural stories, and Chinese documentaries. It even includes official-looking copyright notices and government registration numbers (ICP licenses) that belong to the real CCTV.com, not this domain.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on a Cloudflare IP address (104.21.80.26) which is often used by both legitimate and malicious actors to hide the true origin server. It uses a valid SSL certificate from Google Trust Services, but this only encrypts the connection and does not prove the identity of the operator.

Domain History

The domain relink-tech.cn is not indexed in global traffic rankings and lacks public WHOIS data. The specific subdomain 'fq' is highly unusual for a major media outlet and does not follow the naming conventions of the official China Media Group.

Web Reputation

Reputation signals are overwhelmingly negative. Six security vendors have explicitly blacklisted this URL for phishing and malicious activity. There is no evidence of this domain being an authorized mirror or partner of the actual CCTV network.
