Confidence

The page displays authentic Japanese business content — a company profile for Kyowa Kogyo Co., Ltd., describing adhesive-tape manufacturing, with factory locations in Kyoto and Shiga prefectures, a corporate mission statement, and navigation menus typical of a real industrial firm. However, 7 of our antivirus engines (ADMINUSLabs, CyRadar, ESTsecurity, Fortinet, alphaMountain.ai, and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker) flag the domain as malicious or phishing, which is unusual for a straightforward business site. The hosting IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. The SSL certificate is valid and issued by a legitimate Japanese registry authority. The absence of contact details (no email, phone, or address on the page itself) is atypical for a real manufacturer, though addresses do appear in the footer text. The domain does not appear in global traffic indexes, suggesting low visibility. The conflict between legitimate-looking content and multiple security-engine detections suggests either a compromised legitimate domain, a spoofed clone of the real Kyowa Kogyo site, or a false-positive cluster in the antivirus network.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page displays a Japanese-language corporate website for Kyowa Kogyo Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of adhesive tapes and sheets. The content includes a company mission statement, navigation to sections on company history, factory facilities, product information, and recruitment. Factory addresses are listed in the footer (Kyoto and Shiga prefectures). No contact email, phone number, or postal address is prominently displayed on the page itself, which is unusual for a legitimate manufacturer.

Infrastructure

The domain uses a valid SSL certificate issued by Japan Registry Services Co., Ltd. (JPRS Domain Validation Authority - G4), with 166 days remaining. The hosting IP (60.43.148.142) has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score of 0/100. The page loads external resources from Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager, which are standard third-party services.

Domain History

WHOIS data is unavailable, preventing verification of domain registration date and registrant details. The domain does not appear in global traffic indexes, indicating minimal web visibility. The page redirects across 2 hops with cross-domain behavior, though no homoglyph or internationalized-domain-name tricks are detected.

Web Reputation

Seven antivirus engines flag the domain as malicious or phishing: ADMINUSLabs (malicious), CyRadar (malicious), ESTsecurity (malicious), Fortinet (malware), alphaMountain.ai (phishing), and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker (phishing). Browser blocklists remain clean. Our sandbox analysis did not flag the page. This pattern — multiple AV detections against a clean IP and valid SSL — suggests either a compromised legitimate domain or a sophisticated clone.

Risk Factors

Seven antivirus engines flag the domain as malicious or phishing, including tier-1 detectors.
WHOIS data unavailable, preventing verification of legitimate domain ownership.
Domain not indexed in global traffic rankings, suggesting low or no legitimate web presence.
No contact email, phone, or prominent postal address on the page itself.
Cross-domain redirects detected during page load.
Mismatch between legitimate-looking Japanese business content and security-engine detections suggests possible domain compromise or cloning.

Positive Signals

Valid SSL certificate issued by a legitimate Japanese registry authority.
Hosting IP has zero abuse reports and clean reputation score.
Page content is coherent, detailed, and consistent with a real industrial manufacturer.
Browser blocklists remain clean.
Sandbox analysis did not flag malicious behaviour.

AI Recommendation

Do not enter payment or personal information on this domain without independently verifying the company's legitimacy through official Japanese business registries or direct contact via phone to a known Kyowa Kogyo office. The antivirus detections warrant caution despite the legitimate-looking content.
