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
inbake.com has been registered since February 2013 and is associated with Innovid, a real omni-channel advertising platform with active US business registration. The domain's age, clean abuse history on its hosting IP, and absence of scam complaints or fraud reports are strong legitimacy indicators. However, the technical assessment reveals no HTTPS/TLS support — a significant red flag for any modern web service handling advertising data or analytics. Independent trust aggregators gave conflicting scores: one rated it 75/100 safe, while another flagged it 58.1/100 with concerns about phishing and malware signals. Most concerning, a GitHub issue was opened to add inbake.com to a DNS deny list, though the exact rationale was not disclosed. The subdomains (kube-stats-prod-*, aragorn-prod-*) appear to be legitimate infrastructure, but the lack of encryption and the blocklist nomination suggest either legacy infrastructure that has not been modernised or potential security concerns that warrant investigation.

Analysis complete

Page Content

inbake.com is not a consumer-facing website but rather backend infrastructure for Innovid's advertising and analytics platform. The domain hosts multiple production subdomains (kube-stats-prod-or-acai-lbj, aragorn-prod-*, rotator-prod-*) used for ad-tech operations.

Infrastructure

Hosted on AWS (IP 54.197.119.184, Ashburn, Virginia). The hosting IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. However, SSL/TLS handshake failed — the domain does not support HTTPS encryption, which is unusual and concerning for a service handling advertising data and analytics.

Domain History

Registered 4,856 days ago (February 2013) via NameCheap. WHOIS privacy is enabled via an Iceland-based service. The domain's age and consistent association with Innovid over 13 years suggest legitimate, long-standing operation.

Web Reputation

No scam reports, complaints, or fraud mentions found. Independent trust aggregators gave mixed assessments: one rated it 75/100 (safe), another 58.1/100 (medium, with caution advised). A GitHub issue was opened to add inbake.com to a DNS deny list, but the specific reason was not disclosed. Subdomains checked by reputation services returned low-risk ratings.

Risk Factors
5
  • No HTTPS/TLS encryption detected — unusual and concerning for an advertising-infrastructure domain handling sensitive data.
  • Conflicting trust assessments from independent validators (75/100 vs. 58.1/100) suggest uncertainty about current security posture.
  • GitHub issue #7012 opened to add inbake.com to a DNS deny list; rationale not publicly disclosed.
  • One validator flagged possible phishing, spam, and malware signals despite the domain's age and business registration.
  • WHOIS privacy enabled, limiting transparency about current operator contact details.
Positive Signals
5
  • Domain registered 13+ years ago (February 2013) with consistent, long-term association with Innovid.
  • Active US business registration for Innovid (omni-channel advertising and analytics platform).
  • Hosting IP (54.197.119.184) has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score.
  • No scam reports, consumer complaints, or fraud mentions found across web searches and review sites.
  • Subdomains checked by reputation services returned low-risk ratings.
AI Recommendation
inbake.com is not a consumer-facing website and poses no direct risk to end users. However, if you are an advertising partner or data provider considering integration with Innovid's infrastructure via this domain, request clarification on why HTTPS is unavailable and why the domain was nominated for a DNS deny list. Do not enter sensitive credentials or payment information on any subdomain of inba

Research summary
Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above

We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for inbake.com and found zero scam reports or complaints. Two independent trust aggregators rated subdomains of inbake.com as legitimate and safe. Business registration data confirms the domain is associated with Innovid, a US-registered omni-channel advertising and analytics platform established in 2013. However, one validator flagged medium-trust concerns citing possible phishing and malware signals, and a GitHub issue was opened to add the domain to a DNS deny list without disclosed rationale. The conflicting assessments and missing HTTPS support create ambiguity about the domain's current security posture.
