These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The domain b-cdn.net is the official hostname for Bunny.net, a legitimate content delivery network founded in 2015. However, security researchers and enterprise tools have documented extensive abuse of b-cdn.net subdomains for malicious purposes. Multiple independent security sites report that b-cdn.net subdomains serve fake McAfee subscription-expiration alerts, trick users into enabling push notifications, and redirect to dangerous sites. The parent domain has also been linked to Lumma Stealer malware campaigns that use fake CAPTCHA pages to trigger malware downloads. While the specific subdomain portall.b-cdn.net currently displays only a 404 error with no visible content, its presence on an infrastructure with this documented abuse history and the hosting IP's moderate abuse score (18/100 with 10 reported incidents) elevates the risk. The absence of scam reports specifically naming this exact subdomain does not indicate safety — it may simply be a dormant or recently-repurposed pull zone.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page displays a standard 404 File Not Found error with no functional content, scam indicators, or legitimate business information visible. No forms, links, or interactive elements are present to assess.

Infrastructure

portall.b-cdn.net is a subdomain of b-cdn.net, the official hostname for Bunny.net (BunnyCDN), a legitimate global content delivery network. The hosting IP 79.127.243.187 has an abuse score of 18/100 with 10 reported incidents. SSL is valid (Sectigo, 153 days to expiry). The parent domain b-cdn.net has been repeatedly abused by threat actors to host malicious content.

Domain History

The parent domain b-cdn.net was registered in 2016 (3698 days old) and is legitimately operated by Bunny.net. However, security researchers document that b-cdn.net subdomains have been used for years to host scam pages, fake security alerts, push-notification abuse, and malware delivery. The specific subdomain portall.b-cdn.net has no separate registration record and appears to be a pull zone on the CDN infrastructure.

Web Reputation

Security sites including PCrisk and 2-spyware document b-cdn.net subdomains serving rogue ads, fake McAfee renewal alerts, and PUP (potentially unwanted program) distribution. Enterprise security tools flag connections to b-cdn.net URLs as suspicious. The parent domain's abuse history is well-established; individual subdomains may be dormant, recently-repurposed, or actively malicious depending on customer configuration.

Risk Factors
6
  • Parent domain b-cdn.net has documented history of hosting fake McAfee subscription-expiration scams and push-notification abuse.
  • b-cdn.net subdomains linked to Lumma Stealer malware campaigns using fake CAPTCHA pages to trigger PowerShell downloads.
  • Hosting IP 79.127.243.187 has abuse score of 18/100 with 10 reported incidents.
  • Multiple security research sites (PCrisk, 2-spyware) report b-cdn.net subdomains redirect to dangerous sites and trick users into downloading unwanted software.
  • Enterprise security tools (Microsoft Defender ATP) flag connections to b-cdn.net URLs as suspicious.
  • CDN infrastructure allows customers to create pull zones; abuse occurs when malicious actors use the service for scam hosting.
Positive Signals
5
  • Parent domain b-cdn.net is legitimately registered to Bunny.net, a reputable CDN provider founded in 2015.
  • SSL certificate is valid and issued by Sectigo, a trusted certificate authority.
  • No antivirus engines flag the current page as malicious.
  • No clone-site indicators detected; subdomain appears to be a pull zone rather than a spoofed brand.
  • No scam reports found specifically naming the exact subdomain portall.b-cdn.net.
AI Recommendation
Do not enter any personal, financial, or payment information on this subdomain or any b-cdn.net URL. If you were redirected here from another site, close the page immediately and run a full antivirus scan on your device. If you see fake security alerts or McAfee renewal prompts from b-cdn.net subdomains, they are scams — do not click, download, or enable notifications.

Research summary
Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above

Security researchers at PCrisk and 2-spyware have documented extensive abuse of b-cdn.net subdomains for hosting rogue ads, fake McAfee renewal alerts, and push-notification scams that trick users into downloading unwanted software. The parent domain has been linked to Lumma Stealer (LummaC2) malware campaigns, often via fake CAPTCHA or verification pages that trigger PowerShell downloads. Enterprise security tools including Microsoft Defender ATP flag connections to b-cdn.net URLs as suspicious. While Bunny.net (the legitimate operator of b-cdn.net) is a reputable CDN provider, the infrastructure has been systematically abused by threat actors for malicious purposes. No specific scam reports were found for the exact subdomain portall.b-cdn.net, but its presence on an infrastructure with this documented abuse history is a significant risk factor.
