Verdict

No deceptive or malicious mechanism was identified on the reviewed site.

The reviewed page presents itself as The Learned Society of Wales and includes a publications and reports area. The long-established domain supports legitimacy, although the hosting address has a moderately concerning shared abuse history, so the score stops short of the top of the Safe range.

The site appears safe for ordinary browsing. As with any website, use caution if later pages request sensitive information, particularly because the shared hosting address has a moderate abuse history.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

The reviewed page presents itself as The Learned Society of Wales and includes a publications and reports area. The long-established domain supports legitimacy, although the hosting address has a moderately concerning shared abuse history, so the score stops short of the top of the Safe range.

Institutional content and an established domain

The visible branding names Cymdeithas Ddysgedig Cymru and The Learned Society of Wales, while the captured content includes a Welsh-language publications and reports heading.

The registrable domain is 4,214 days old, which is a useful legitimacy signal but does not prove safety by itself.

Technical caution without evidence of visitor deception

The hosting IP carries an abuse confidence score of 45 out of 100 across 59 saved reports. This warrants some caution, but the evidence does not attribute those reports to this specific website or document a harmful visitor flow here.

The supplied page evidence shows branding, search functionality, and publication-related content; it does not directly show phishing, malicious downloads, forced redirects, or a deceptive checkout.

Why the score is 86

The hosting IP has a 45/100 abuse confidence score based on 59 saved reports, although this is infrastructure-level rather than proof of misconduct by the target site. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

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.

  1. Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru and not a lookalike like w-ww.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru or an IDN homoglyph.

  2. 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.

  3. Discuss this site on the forum

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

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru legit and safe?
Our automated security review found no threat indicators on www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru, so it appears legitimate. All 90 antivirus engines we queried report it clean, and the domain is 11.5 years old, registered on March 1, 2015 — established domains are far less likely to be scams. Even so, always double-check the exact address in your browser, because phishing emails routinely spoof real, trusted domains like this one.
Is www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru safe to use?
www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru has a Safety Score of 86/100 (Safe). The hosting IP has a 45/100 abuse confidence score based on 59 saved reports, although this is infrastructure-level rather than proof of misconduct by the target site. at scan time. Treat unexpected login or payment requests with normal caution.
Could a legitimate site like www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru still be used in a scam?
Yes — and this is worth understanding. Even trustworthy domains get spoofed in phishing emails (a fake message that only looks like it's from www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru), and legitimate sites are occasionally compromised on specific pages. A clean verdict means the site itself checks out today; it does not mean every email or link claiming to be from www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru is genuine. Always reach the site by typing the address yourself rather than clicking links in unexpected messages.
Has www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 90 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru domain?
www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru is 11.5 years old, registered on March 1, 2015 through Mesh Digital Limited. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, valid for another 76 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru hosted?
www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru resolves to an IP operated by WPEngine, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on September 14, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about www.cymdeithasddysgedig.cymru has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
