Confidence
The domain has been registered for over 2,600 days, which is a strong indicator of a stable and established business. Our analysis shows the site is a subdomain of the primary business domain, which is actively promoted across verified social media channels and YouTube. While one engine flagged it as suspicious, this appears to be a false positive as no other antivirus partners or blocklists show any issues. The page includes clear educational disclaimers and the operator has a verifiable professional presence in the digital marketing space. We found no evidence of malicious activity, credential harvesting, or deceptive financial promises.

Page Content

The page functions as a lead-generation funnel for a free webinar on Google Ads. It features a registration form, a detailed curriculum, and professional background on the instructor, Igor Ivitskiy. The content includes standard legal disclaimers regarding business results and educational nature.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on a stable IP address with no history of abuse reports. It uses a valid SSL certificate and loads resources from known marketing automation and content delivery platforms. The technical setup is consistent with a professional online school or consultancy.

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 web.ivitskiy.com and not a lookalike like w-eb.ivitskiy.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.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on web.ivitskiy.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • web.ivitskiy.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 90/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. web.ivitskiy.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 57 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • web.ivitskiy.com is 7.2 years old, registered on 4/1/2019 through Hosting Ukraine LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. web.ivitskiy.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • web.ivitskiy.com resolves to an IP operated by Hosting Ukraine Proxies in UA (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 25, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around web.ivitskiy.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
