Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The domain belongs to Integral Ad Science, a publicly traded ad verification firm founded in 2009 with confirmed business registration in Delaware. All antivirus engines and browser blocklists returned clean results with zero flags. The hosting IP shows no abuse history and SSL is valid. While two sources label related subdomains as potentially unwanted due to ad behavior, independent reviews confirm it serves major sites like YouTube and Google. Visual capture was inconclusive due to slow rendering, but this matches typical ad script behavior rather than a parked or malicious page.

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 jsconfig.adsafeprotected.com and not a lookalike like j-sconfig.adsafeprotected.com.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.
