Intelligence
The page presents itself as the project site for Krohnkite, a well-documented open-source KWin script for dynamic window tiling on KDE Plasma. Our sandbox and browser blocklist feeds returned clean results with zero detections. The hosting IP carries an abuse score of zero and no prior complaints. Domain age of 92 days is recent, yet the project itself has existed on GitHub and Linux repositories since at least 2018, indicating the domain is likely a new landing page rather than a fresh scam. No contact details or business registration appear because this is an open-source project, not a commercial entity. Visual analysis confirms professional design without deceptive elements or login forms.

Technical Details
domain · encryption · redirects · server reputation · referencedThe 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.

What to do
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 krohnkite.com and not a lookalike like k-rohnkite.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.
- OpenDiscuss this site on the forum
If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.
Final Verdict
Krohnkite.com hosts documentation for a legitimate open-source KWin tiling script. The 92-day-old domain shows no scam reports, clean blocklist status, and matches known project history dating back to 2018.
Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- Our automated security review found no threat indicators on krohnkite.com, so it appears legitimate. and the domain is 3 months old, registered on April 16, 2026 — established domains are far less likely to be scams. Even so, always double-check the exact address in your browser, because phishing emails routinely spoof real, trusted domains like this one.
- krohnkite.com passed our automated checks with a trust score of 83/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged it at the time of the last scan, and its signals line up with an established, legitimate site. Treat any unexpected login prompt or payment request on it with the same caution you would anywhere.
- Yes — and this is worth understanding. Even trustworthy domains get spoofed in phishing emails (a fake message that only looks like it's from krohnkite.com), and legitimate sites are occasionally compromised on specific pages. A clean verdict means the site itself checks out today; it does not mean every email or link claiming to be from krohnkite.com is genuine. Always reach the site by typing the address yourself rather than clicking links in unexpected messages.
- No — krohnkite.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.
- krohnkite.com is 3 months old, registered on April 16, 2026 through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
- Yes — krohnkite.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, valid for another 60 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".
- krohnkite.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.
- This report is a record of the scan run on July 17, 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 krohnkite.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
