Avoid this YMCA association page while active social-engineering warnings remain
The page identifies itself as the Alliance of New York State YMCAs, a nonprofit association representing independent YMCAs across New York State. However, current security evidence flags the URL for social engineering, with four malicious and one suspicious detection across 90 engines. That conflict supports a High Risk rating even though the supplied evidence does not reveal a credential form or other specific attack sequence.

Investigation Brief
The page identifies itself as the Alliance of New York State YMCAs, a nonprofit association representing independent YMCAs across New York State. However, current security evidence flags the URL for social engineering, with four malicious and one suspicious detection across 90 engines. That conflict supports a High Risk rating even though the supplied evidence does not reveal a credential form or other specific attack sequence.
Current technical warnings are the decisive concern
Browser-protection evidence identifies this URL as a social-engineering threat, while four independent antivirus families returned adverse results.
A broader scan recorded four malicious and one suspicious detection across 90 engines. This is meaningful corroboration, although most engines did not classify the URL as malicious.
Legitimate-looking identity does not resolve the warning
The visible content describes a nonprofit association representing independent New York YMCAs and says it is a recognized affiliate of YMCA of the USA.
The domain is 9,029 days old, which provides context but does not negate fresh social-engineering detections. No supplied evidence directly shows what information an attacker might request or where it would be sent, so a specific phishing mechanism cannot be confirmed from this record.
Why the score is 32
A browser-protection feed identifies this URL as malware or social engineering. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.
