Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents itself as a law firm (Kanzlei) specializing in IT law and banking/capital-market law. The menu lists specific fraud scenarios: phishing, SMS fraud, Deutsche Bank unauthorized transactions, Trade Republic fraud, and lootbox disputes. This is typical marketing language for a victim-representation practice, not a scam pattern.

Infrastructure

SSL certificate is valid (Let's Encrypt, 62 days to expiry). Hosting IP 185.233.54.142 has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. The domain uses standard Google services (fonts, analytics) and one external domain (digitalbro.de, likely a web agency). No suspicious redirects or homoglyph tricks detected.

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 kanzlei-rak.de and not a lookalike like k-anzlei-rak.de.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.
