Is kettledroopingcontinuation.com legit or a scam?
Fake Google clone site harvesting login credentials; flagged by Gridinsoft, Cloudflare, JoeSandbox, and AlienVault OTX as active phishing.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
