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 uses a deceptive naming structure, secure-directory.net-link-secure.com, which is a common tactic to mimic legitimate security portals. Our antivirus network shows a high level of consensus, with seven different engines including Kaspersky and BitDefender identifying it as a phishing or malicious site. While the domain itself is over three years old, it currently lacks any global traffic ranking, suggesting it is being used for targeted attacks rather than public business. The combination of specific phishing detections and the suspicious URL structure indicates a high risk to users.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site uses a complex subdomain structure designed to look like a 'secure directory' or a 'secure link' service. This is a classic social engineering technique used to lower a visitor's guard before asking for login credentials or personal data.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on Amazon infrastructure and utilizes a valid SSL certificate. While SSL is often associated with safety, attackers frequently use free or automated certificates to provide a false sense of security for phishing pages.

Domain History

The domain was registered through GoDaddy over 1,100 days ago. Long-term domain ownership is sometimes used by attackers to bypass filters that only flag brand-new domains, allowing the site to 'age' before being activated for a scam campaign.

Web Reputation

Our threat intelligence layer shows that this URL is actively being tracked in phishing blocklists. Specifically, security providers like ADMINUSLabs and Chong Lua Dao have confirmed it as a malicious destination.
