01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

Kenyajob.com is a recruitment platform that connects job seekers with employers and sells job-posting services to recruiters. The domain is over 22 years old and operated by the AfricaWork group. A single antivirus engine previously flagged it as phishing, but the site currently shows only a standard Cloudflare security check and no confirmed malicious behavior.

Evidence supporting legitimacy

The site has operated since approximately 2004 and is explicitly described as a recruitment website whose goal is to connect candidates with companies across sectors.

The registrable domain is 8114 days old, placing its creation well before most scam domains appear.

Risk signals and their weight

One antivirus engine (Fortinet) previously classified the site as phishing; the detection is marked stale and no corroborating evidence of credential harvesting or malware distribution was found.

Current page content is a standard Cloudflare verification screen, consistent with normal traffic-protection behavior rather than an active threat.

Why the score is 78

1 independent antivirus family reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Investigation story

The behavior, reputation, and operator evidence that explains how this site may affect a visitor.
  1. What the site claims

    Independent evidence classifies the site as content, but the page's own claim could not be captured.

  2. What we observed

    The page itself could not be fully inspected, so the report relies on the other saved checks.

  3. What independent research found

    1 external finding were saved and compared with the page evidence.

  4. What remains unverified

    2 of the 4 applicable core capabilities did not complete, so those gaps remain visible in the coverage ledger.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before you trust

We couldn't gather enough signal for a confident verdict — tread carefully.

  1. Find the company through independent channels

    Search for the business on LinkedIn, an official registry (Companies House, OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR), or via the brand's known social channels. If you can't trace a real entity, that itself is a red flag.

  2. Never pay by crypto, gift card, or bank transfer

    If the site forces an irreversible payment method, stop. Cards and PayPal give you chargeback protection — irreversible methods don't.

  3. Ask the forum

    Post the URL in the MalwareTips Scam Reports forum — experienced members often recognise patterns immediately.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is kenyajob.com a scam or is it safe?
kenyajob.com has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is kenyajob.com safe to use?
kenyajob.com has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has kenyajob.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 2 of 91 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged kenyajob.com, 1 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is kenyajob.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — kenyajob.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the kenyajob.com domain?
kenyajob.com is 22.2 years old, registered on June 27, 2004 through OVH sas. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does kenyajob.com have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — kenyajob.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 31 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is kenyajob.com hosted?
kenyajob.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the kenyajob.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on September 15, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about kenyajob.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
