Very Likely Safe

iQ Abuse Scan has tagged this website for spamming. Spamming means that the domain has been reported several times for sending unsolicited emails or text messages. While not directly related to scams, it is an activity most legit companies refrain from. We therefore always reduce the trust score of websites that are reported for spamming. 

We discovered that the website is rated as popular by Tranco with a score of 500. This means that the website is visited by quite a lot of people. In addition other websites find this website interesting and relevant and are linking to it. As a result we increased our review score.

The owner of this website has registered this domain name for a period longer then one year. This means he plans to continue his website for the foreseeable future. We increased the Trust Score of sslip.io as a result as most scammers never renew their domain name once the scam is public knowledge. 

We discovered that the domain of this website has been registered several years ago. Websites of scammers are usually very new. Still, you have to be careful. Scammers nowadays also buy old and existing websites to start their malpractice. Checking a website for other scam signals remains essential. 

iQ Abuse Scan has tagged sslip.io for phishing. Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate person to lure victims into providing personal data such as login details, ID numbers and credit card details. The 'phished' data is then used to access your user accounts and can result in identity theft and financial loss. 

We always check which other websites are registered by the same company the website is using. In this case we discovered that the registrar is facilitating a high number of websites that have a low to very low review score. This may be a coincidence but it may also be caused by lax "Know your customer" processes at the domain registration bureau. The trust score of the website has been reduced.

We found a valid SSL Certificate. An SSL certificate is used to secure communication between your computer and the website. There are different levels of SSL certification. A free one is also available and this one is used by online scammers. Still, not having an SSL certificate is worse than having one, especially if you have to enter your contact details.

iQ Abuse Scan has reported this website for possible network abuse. Network abuse is the use of a computer network for purposes prohibited by the network's acceptable use policy. It usually includes internet crime and other malicious uses, such as use that may interfere with other users' ability to access network services. Often, the owner of a website does not know its server is being used to abuse the Internet. However, it does mean that a cybercriminal has access to the server and possibly the website. We, therefore, lowered the Trust Score of the website.

This website has been tagged for the distribution of malware by iQ Abuse Scan. Malware is software that performs an unauthorized process that will have negative impact on the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of an information system. Examples are a virus, worm, Trojan horse, or other code-based entity that infects a computer or mobile phone. Spyware and some forms of adware are also examples of malicious code. The website may distribute malware on purpose or by accident. In many cases, the site is hacked by a cybercriminal who uses its servers without the owner being aware of it.
