01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

The domain hosts malicious JavaScript files (realm-xml.js, secure-theme.js) that deliver remote-access trojans. Visitors who reach the page risk automatic or social-engineered malware infection.

Malware distribution confirmed by multiple sources

Threat-intel records list rowanportico.global as the C2 endpoint for SmartApeSG botnet activity with 100 % confidence.

Malware-traffic-analysis reports that the same domain is used in a ClickFix campaign that ultimately drops two remote-access trojans on victim machines.

Technical indicators of active payload delivery

The site serves malicious scripts named realm-xml.js and secure-theme.js that are directly referenced in the botnet infrastructure.

Twenty independent antivirus engines flag the domain, reinforcing the conclusion that the page is part of an active malware operation.

Why the score is 5

20 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Investigation story

The behavior, reputation, and operator evidence that explains how this site may affect a visitor.
  1. What the site claims

    No page claim could be verified for rowanportico.global because no usable page content or saved capture was available.

  2. What we observed

    The page itself could not be fully inspected, so the report relies on the other saved checks.

  3. What independent research found

    2 external findings were saved and compared with the page evidence.

  4. What remains unverified

    2 of the 4 applicable core capabilities did not complete, so those gaps remain visible in the coverage ledger.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is rowanportico.global a scam or a legit download site?
rowanportico.global is a dangerous malware & deceptive downloads — avoid interacting with it. Our review tagged it for malware. 21 of 92 security engines flag it (21 as outright malicious). The domain is only 9 days old through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com — a fresh registration is a classic scam fingerprint. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
Is rowanportico.global safe to use?
No — rowanportico.global has a Safety Score of 5/100 (Dangerous) because decisive threat evidence was saved with this scan. Leave the site and do not log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
What should I do if I already gave my details to rowanportico.global?
If you've already paid or handed over details on rowanportico.global, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on rowanportico.global and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
Can I get my money back from rowanportico.global?
Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
Is my device infected after visiting rowanportico.global?
Simply loading a page is usually lower-risk than downloading or running a file from it. If you downloaded or opened anything from rowanportico.global, run a full scan with reputable antivirus software and consider it untrusted. If you only viewed the page, keep your browser and OS updated, watch for unexpected pop-ups or new programs, and change passwords from a clean device if you entered any.
How do I report rowanportico.global?
You can report rowanportico.global through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
Why does rowanportico.global look legitimate if it's a scam?
Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
Has rowanportico.global been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 21 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged rowanportico.global, 21 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is rowanportico.global on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — rowanportico.global is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the rowanportico.global domain?
rowanportico.global is 9 days old, registered on August 21, 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
Where is rowanportico.global hosted?
rowanportico.global resolves to an IP operated by Hetzner Online GmbH in US (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the rowanportico.global report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 30, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about rowanportico.global has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
