Domain & infrastructure
The 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.

This saved scan found no active threat signals in the checks it completed.

Domain & Encryption
Certificate issued for ak.officecdn.microsoft.com.
A shared Fastly address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.
