Confidence
The domain nrk.no was registered in 1999 and belongs to Norsk rikskringkasting AS, a state-owned company with active registration in Norway. Our antivirus network returned zero detections across 92 engines and the hosting IP shows no abuse history. The page displays standard news content with live sports schedules and proper NRK branding. The company itself maintains a page warning the public about fake sites impersonating NRK. The only negative signal is a low Trustpilot score based on 64 reviews, which does not indicate fraud. These factors together confirm a legitimate, long-established media outlet.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page presents itself as NRK.no, Norway's largest news and broadcasting platform, with sections for news, sports, culture, and radio. It displays live FIFA World Cup match schedules and standard navigation menus. No login forms, payment fields, or urgency countdowns appear in the rendered content despite one internal flag. The layout uses consistent branding and high-quality editorial photography typical of a national broadcaster.

Infrastructure

The site loads from IP 23.204.152.135 with a clean abuse score of 0/100 and no reported incidents. SSL certificate is valid and issued by DigiCert with 97 days remaining. Two cross-domain redirects occur but stay within the NRK family of domains. External resources load from related Norwegian media properties such as nrksuper.no and yr.no.

Domain History

The domain was registered on 14 November 1999 through Domeneshop AS, giving it an age of 26.7 years. WHOIS shows no privacy protection and lists the Norwegian public broadcaster as the owner. The long registration period and stable registrar are consistent with an established media organization.

Web Reputation

Our research found two scam-warning pages published by NRK itself, alerting users to fake sites, SMS messages, and emails impersonating the broadcaster. The company is registered in Norway under org.nr. 976390512 and remains active. Independent review aggregators show 64 complaints, mostly reflected in a low an independent review aggregator score of 1.5/5, but no reports of the actual site distributing malware or harvesting credentials.

What this means for you

This is the genuine NRK website. Visitors can read news, watch streams, and use the service without risk of credential theft or malware. The broadcaster's own scam warnings demonstrate awareness of impersonation attempts rather than any issue with nrk.no itself.

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 nrk.no and not a lookalike like n-rk.no.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.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, 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 nrk.no. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • nrk.no passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 94/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. nrk.no presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by DigiCert Inc · DigiCert Global G3 TLS ECC SHA384 2020 CA1, expiring in 97 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • nrk.no is 26.7 years old, registered on 11/14/1999 through Domeneshop AS. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report nrk.no as clean.
  • No. nrk.no is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • nrk.no resolves to an IP operated by Akamai Technologies, Inc. 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.
  • Yes. nrk.no sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.
