rostelecom.ru passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 78/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.

Does rostelecom.ru have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. rostelecom.ru presents a valid TLSv1.2 certificate issued by GlobalSign nv-sa · GlobalSign GCC R3 DV TLS CA 2020, expiring in 74 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

Where is rostelecom.ru hosted?

Yes. rostelecom.ru 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.

Confidence

Rostelecom.ru is the authentic corporate informational site of ПАО «Ростелеком» (PJSC Rostelecom), confirmed by business registration data showing INN 7707049388, OGRN 1027700198767, and active status since 2002 (re-registered from 1993). The page title and meta description match official company branding exactly. Our antivirus network flagged zero malicious detections across 92 engines, the hosting IP has zero abuse reports, and SSL certification is valid. The domain ranks in the global top-100k, indicating substantial legitimate traffic. While customer complaints exist on review sites regarding service quality and billing disputes — common for any large telecom monopoly — these are operational grievances, not indicators of fraud or phishing. The company itself publishes warnings about scammers impersonating Rostelecom employees, showing active fraud awareness. No evidence suggests this domain is a clone, phishing site, or credential harvester.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page displays the official corporate branding and informational structure of PJSC Rostelecom. Title and meta description match the company's registered name and mission statement. Navigation includes sections for company information, investor relations, sustainability, regional offices, press centre, and job listings — typical of a legitimate large corporation.

Infrastructure

No malicious or suspicious external scripts detected.

Domain History

Rostelecom.ru is the official corporate informational portal. The parent company PJSC Rostelecom was registered in Russia on 09.09.2002 and re-registered from 1993, making it one of Russia's oldest and largest telecommunications operators.

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 rostelecom.ru and not a lookalike like r-ostelecom.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.
