Confidence

The domain inc-stories.com is 1,490 days old (approximately four years), which rules out the typical new-domain scam pattern. However, five antivirus engines — alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker — classify it as malicious, with ESET marking it suspicious. This consensus among multiple independent detectors is a strong signal of malicious intent. The site has no global traffic ranking, suggesting it operates outside normal web discovery channels, consistent with phishing or credential-harvesting infrastructure. The valid SSL certificate and clean IP reputation do not override the AV consensus; legitimate infrastructure can host malicious content. Independent review aggregators rate it at 65/100 (moderate trust), which reflects uncertainty rather than endorsement. The lack of browser blocklist flagging may indicate the site is not yet widely known or is actively evading detection.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 104.21.52.94 with a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, expiring in 75 days. The IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score (0/100). Hosting infrastructure alone does not indicate legitimacy when AV engines flag the domain as malicious.

Domain History

Browser blocklists do not flag it, and our sandbox did not trigger on the domain. The AV consensus outweighs the moderate aggregator score.
