Browser blocklists returned clean and the hosting IP shows zero abuse reports. The two scam reports describe phishing attempts that pretend to be from mos.ru rather than any problem with the domain. Positive app reviews and millions of downloads further support legitimate use by over 12 million monthly visitors. Minor complaints exist but relate to typical service issues, not fraud. No clone indicators or business-registration red flags apply because this is a public government entity.

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 mos.ru and not a lookalike like m-os.ru.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.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about this site, answered from the scan data on this page. These are auto-generated — not hand-written — so they always match the underlying report.
- Our automated security review found no threat indicators on mos.ru. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
- mos.ru 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.
- No. mos.ru is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
- mos.ru resolves to an IP operated by GKU Mosgortelecom in RU (usage type: Commercial). 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.
