kkandw.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 89/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.

Does kkandw.com have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. kkandw.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR1, expiring in 80 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the kkandw.com domain?

kkandw.com is 10.2 years old, registered on 4/11/2016 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Is kkandw.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

Where is kkandw.com hosted?

kkandw.com resolves to an IP operated by Internap Holding LLC in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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 kkandw.com report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 11, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own.

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 kkandw.com and not a lookalike like k-kandw.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.
