MT Intelligence
The domain serves as a technical endpoint for Marfeel, a well-known Spanish adtech and analytics company. Our analysis confirms the domain has been active since 2020 and is correctly configured with valid security certificates. While some automated tools flag it for 'push-notification' behavior, this is a standard function of the Marfeel SDK used by legitimate newsrooms to reach their audiences. The site shows no signs of malicious intent, and our antivirus network reports zero detections across 92 different engines. The infrastructure is hosted on high-reputation IP space with no history of abuse.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for newsroom.bi, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- newsroom.bi (including events.newsroom.bi) is the official analytics and data collection domain for Marfeel, a legitimate adtech/analytics platform for digital publishers (marfeel.com).
- Marfeel documentation explicitly states it uses endpoints such as https://events.newsroom.bi/ingest.php for page views, /multimedia.php for video tracking, and /recirculation.php for link metrics and CTR.
- Domain created on 2020-04-12 (over 6 years old as of 2026); registered in Spain (ES) with Cloudflare nameservers; WHOIS owner redacted for privacy.
- Listed in multiple ad/tracker blocklists (EasyPrivacy, various hosts files, third-party web domain maps) as a known analytics/tracking domain, which is common for such services.
- Scamadviser rates events.newsroom.bi as "Very Likely Safe" with positive notes on SSL, age, and DNSFilter label (despite hidden WHOIS, low Tranco rank, and iframe use).
- OTX AlienVault shows 1 malicious file communicating with the domain in the past and some heuristic associations, but no active pulses or confirmed ongoing malice; no user complaints or scam reports found on Reddit, BBB, or general web.
- Marfeel promotes privacy-by-design, GDPR/CCPA compliance, and first-party data practices; the "Push-Notification Spam" detection likely stems from publishers using Marfeel SDK for push campaigns, not the domain itself being malicious.

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 newsroom.bi and not a lookalike like n-ewsroom.bi.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.
