Is khmdb.google.com a scam?

Our automated security review found no threat indicators on khmdb.google.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.

Is khmdb.google.com safe to use?

khmdb.google.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 93/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.

Does khmdb.google.com have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. khmdb.google.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WR2, expiring in 65 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the khmdb.google.com domain?

khmdb.google.com is 28.8 years old, registered on 9/15/1997 through MarkMonitor Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report khmdb.google.com as clean.

Is khmdb.google.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. khmdb.google.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is khmdb.google.com hosted?

khmdb.google.com resolves to an IP operated by Google LLC in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

How often is the khmdb.google.com report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 12, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own.

Confidence

This is a longstanding subdomain of google.com owned by Google LLC, with a domain age of nearly 29 years. Our antivirus network reports zero detections across 92 engines, and the domain carries a clean reputation across all feeds. The 404 error visible in the screenshot is not a sign of compromise or abandonment—it reflects the normal behaviour of a backend API endpoint that requires specific query parameters (such as ?db=moon) to return content. Technical documentation, GitHub repositories, StackOverflow discussions, and corporate firewall configurations all confirm khmdb.google.com as a legitimate infrastructure component for Google Earth's planetary database delivery. No scam reports, phishing complaints, or malware associations exist in any public record.

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 khmdb.google.com and not a lookalike like k-hmdb.google.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.
