Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The page presents itself as the homepage of ITU, the UN agency for information and communication technologies, with matching title, description, and content about global standards and events. Our antivirus network returned only a single spam flag from Forcepoint ThreatSeeker while the remaining 90 engines stayed clean. The domain age of 10924 days matches the organization's founding in 1865, and our research confirms active registration as a UN specialized agency headquartered in Geneva. Hosting IP shows zero abuse reports and browser blocklists are clear. The five-hop redirect chain and valid SSL certificate further align with a long-established institutional site rather than any fraudulent pattern.

Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on itu.int and not a lookalike like i-tu.int.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about this site, answered from the scan data on this page. These are auto-generated — not hand-written — so they always match the underlying report.
- Our automated security review found no threat indicators on itu.int. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
- itu.int passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 83/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
- Yes. itu.int presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 16 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
