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 worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com and not a lookalike like w-orldofwarcraft.blizzard.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.

  • Yes. worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M01, expiring in 128 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
