Is share.google a scam?

Our automated security review found no threat indicators on share.google. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.

Is share.google safe to use?

share.google passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 70/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.

Does share.google have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. share.google presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WR2, expiring in 56 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the share.google domain?

share.google is 1.3 years old, registered on 1/15/2025 through MarkMonitor Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has share.google been flagged by antivirus engines?

2 out of 93 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged share.google as malicious or suspicious (1 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.

Is share.google on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. share.google is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is share.google hosted?

share.google resolves to an IP operated by Google LLC in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

How often is the share.google report updated?

We cache results for 24 hours. Signed-in MalwareTips members can trigger a manual rescan at any time using the "Rescan" button on the report page, which re-runs every check from scratch and refreshes this page.

Confidence

The domain share.google is a known Google service for shortening links shared from the Google mobile app. Our antivirus network recorded only one malicious and one suspicious flag out of 93 engines, with the hosting IP showing zero abuse score. The domain is 487 days old, registered through MarkMonitor with valid Google-issued SSL, and browser blocklists returned clean. Evidence from our research confirms this matches Reddit reports of Google app links displaying as share.google, with zero scam complaints or negative mentions found. The Yahoo homepage content is simply the redirect target, not a sign of compromise on the shortener itself.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The scanned page renders as a full Yahoo homepage with news, weather, and navigation sections. No login forms, countdowns, or scam-typical elements were present. Contact details and emails are absent, which is normal for a redirector.

Infrastructure

Hosted on Google IP 216.239.32.27 with valid SSL from Google Trust Services. One redirect hop occurs to the final Yahoo destination. External resources load from legitimate Yahoo and ad domains.

Domain History

Domain is 487 days old via MarkMonitor. No business registration records exist under share.google, consistent with it being an internal Google utility rather than a public company site.

Web Reputation

No scam reports or complaints located. Searches tie the domain exclusively to Google's link-shortening feature rolled out around mid-2025.

Risk Factors

Global traffic index shows the domain is not widely indexed, typical for internal shorteners.
Minor antivirus flags from PrecisionSec and DNS8, though the vast majority of engines cleared it.

Positive Signals

Domain age of 487 days aligns with documented Google app feature rollout.
Valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services.
Hosting IP carries zero abuse score despite five historical reports.
Browser blocklists and major feeds returned completely clean.
No scam families, clone indicators, or negative mentions found in our research.

AI Recommendation

Safe to click when the link originates from the official Google app. Always verify the final destination URL after the redirect completes.

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 share.google and not a lookalike like s-hare.google.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.
