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 name is a clear attempt at brand impersonation, using a misspelled and hyphenated version of the official company name. Ten different antivirus engines, including BitDefender, Fortinet, and G-Data, have explicitly flagged this URL as a phishing threat. The page content clones the official branding and layout to trick users into thinking they are on a legitimate login portal. Furthermore, the site lacks any verifiable business registration or official contact information, which is a major red flag for a financial services provider. The use of a recently issued certificate from a free provider is also common among temporary phishing setups.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site heavily utilizes Charles Schwab branding, logos, and terminology to create a sense of legitimacy. It includes links to official documents like 'Cookies Policy' and 'Privacy Policy' to mimic a real corporate site, though these are likely used to harvest credentials.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on an IP address that, while not currently reported for abuse, is serving a domain that bypasses official corporate infrastructure. It uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which is frequently used by short-lived malicious sites because it is free and automated.

Domain History

The domain 'schuab-charlesschuab.us' is a classic example of typosquatting or 'combosquatting,' where a brand name is combined with other words or misspellings to deceive users. It is not indexed in global traffic rankings, suggesting it is a new or low-traffic site typically used for targeted attacks.

Web Reputation

Our antivirus network shows a high consensus of 10 engines marking this as malicious or phishing. This level of detection from reputable providers like Sophos and Forcepoint is a definitive indicator of a threat.
