Fake Santander city council portal on a 12-year-old domain that nine engines flagged as phishing.
Score breakdown

Analysis Summary
Website Preview
Automated page render — captured in a safe sandbox. What an ordinary visitor would see when loading the site.
Intelligence
The page title and body text copy the Ayuntamiento de Santander municipal site, including service links and news items. Nine of 92 engines flagged the URL, with alphaMountain.ai, Emsisoft, Fortinet, and CyRadar specifically marking it phishing or malicious. The hostname www--santander--es.insuit.net uses repeated dashes to imitate the real santander.es domain. The domain itself is 12.1 years old and hosted on a clean IP with valid SSL, yet the subdomain pattern and engine detections override those older legitimacy signals. No login form appears on the landing page, but the impersonation alone creates a clear risk of credential harvesting on linked pages.
