smadex.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 92/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.

Does smadex.com have a valid SSL certificate?

How old is the smadex.com domain?

Is smadex.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

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

Where is smadex.com hosted?

smadex.com resolves to an IP operated by Amazon.com, Inc. 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.

Confidence

The page presents itself as the website for Smadex, an AI-powered demand-side platform for mobile user acquisition and CTV advertising. The domain is over 14 years old, hosted with valid SSL, and shows zero malicious detections across our antivirus network and blocklists. Business records confirm SMADEX S.L.U. is a registered Spanish company acquired by NYSE-listed Entravision in 2018. Independent reviews on Glassdoor and FeaturedCustomers are positive, and the only scam report found warns about a fake clone site (smadexl.com), explicitly stating the real company is legitimate. No login forms, countdowns, or other scam indicators appear on the page.

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 smadex.com and not a lookalike like s-madex.com.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.
