Why this verdict

Evidence and analysis

VerdictIQ AIGenerated from 25 deterministic signals

78jj[.]xyz is classified as suspicious with a risk score of 60/100: ambiguous posture; signals suggest concern but lack convergent evidence. The recommended downstream action is alert_only.

The risk model observed 25 signals (including 6 core signals) across 4 taxonomy groups (DNS History, HTTP Crawling, Popularity & Backlink, and others). The strongest indicators are Low-Control General Hosting Network, Critical SSL CA Issue, Flagged by Security Vendors, plus 22 additional supporting signals. Each signal carries its own trigger evidence and direction; signal fusion drives the calibrated tier assignment.

Recommended response. Surface to analyst review or SIEM correlation. Evidence is strong enough to warrant attention but not strong enough to block without context. For active investigation, run POST /verdict with the indicator to confirm the verdict against the current state of the domain. VerdictIQ's scoring recomputes today's signals on every call.

VerdictIQ AI re-states deterministic signal evidence as natural language. The verdict itself comes from the calibrated risk model, not the AI layer. Re-runs are stable and explainable.

Top 10 of 25Showing all 25
  • Low-Control General Hosting NetworkcoreDNS HistoryIt indicates that the ASN belongs to hosting environments statistically associated with higher abuse rates, weak onboarding controls, or historically malicious operations.
  • Critical SSL CA IssuecoreHTTP CrawlingIt means that the SSL/TLS certificate presented by the domain failed critical validation checks.
  • Flagged by Security VendorscoreThreat IntelligenceIt means that one or more commercial security vendors, including antivirus engines, sandboxes, or threat intelligence providers, have classified or reported the domain as malicious.
  • Newly-Activated DomainDNS HistoryIt indicates that the domain has recently become active and started responding to DNS queries after a period of inactivity or recent registration.
  • Short-Term SSL Certificate ValidityHTTP CrawlingIt means the SSL/TLS certificate of the domain has an unusually short validity period, often lasting only days or weeks.
  • Limited Web Structure DetectedHTTP CrawlingIt means the domain hosts only a few subpages or internal links.
  • Weak Popularity DomainPopularity & BacklinkIt represents a domain with limited but detectable user traffic or DNS activity.
  • Newly Active HTTP Service DetectedHTTP CrawlingIt indicates that the domain has recently started serving web content over HTTP or HTTPS after a long period of inactivity or being newly registered.
  • Free-Issued SSL CertificateHTTP CrawlingIt indicates that the domain uses an SSL certificate issued by a free or automated Certificate Authority, such as Let's Encrypt.
  • Low Content Density (Homepage)HTTP CrawlingIt means that the domain’s homepage contains a very small amount of textual or visual content.
  • NS Unchanged Since Domain CreationDNS HistoryThe domain's nameserver records have never been changed since registration.
  • Geolocation Mismatch or High-Risk RegionDNS HistoryIt indicates that the ASN shows geolocation anomalies, such as a mismatch between registry country and observed country or continent, or that it is associated with a country known for elevated abuse…
  • HTTP Service on Non-standard PortHTTP CrawlingIt refers to a web server or website delivering HTTP or HTTPS content through ports other than the standard 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS).
  • High-Risk TLD Zone DetectedThreat IntelligenceIt indicates that the domain belongs to a top-level domain (TLD) frequently associated with malicious or fraudulent activity.
  • Recently Isolated DomainPopularity & BacklinkA domain whose harmonic centrality places it in the deep tail (very few distinct sources link to it) while PageRank is also in the mid-to-tail range.
  • Long-lived HTTP Service DetectedcoreHTTP CrawlingThis term refers to a web service (HTTP/HTTPS) that has been continuously active and reachable for a long duration without significant downtime.
  • SSL DV ValidationcoreHTTP CrawlingIt indicates that the SSL/TLS certificate’s Common Name (CN) or Subject Alternative Name (SAN) correctly matches the accessed hostname.
  • Large-Scale Enterprise IP BlockcoreDNS HistoryIt indicates that the IP address belongs to a large-scale, long-established, and officially allocated enterprise network.
  • Strict-Policy RIR RegionDNS HistoryIt indicates that the ASN is allocated by a regional internet registry known for strict allocation controls and strong abuse-handling processes, providing supportive safe context for the…
  • Country-Level IP Geolocation CentralizationDNS HistoryIt indicates that all currently active IP addresses of a domain are geographically concentrated in a single location scope, typically within one country.
  • ASN Allocated Long Time AgoDNS HistoryIt means that the ASN was allocated many years ago and has a long operational history.
  • Paid Public NS Usage Premium ProviderDNS HistoryIt indicates that the domain is backed by a paid, reputable DNS provider rather than free or disposable nameservers.
  • Observed and Registered Geolocation ConsistencyDNS HistoryIt indicates that the observed geolocation of the IP matches its registered geolocation, suggesting a stable and expected geographic placement for the infrastructure at the time of observation.
  • Current and Historical Geolocation AlignmentDNS HistoryIt indicates that the geolocation of the domain’s currently active IP addresses is consistent with the geolocations observed in its historical IP usage, suggesting continuity in infrastructure…
  • Not Listed in Open-Source Threat FeedsThreat IntelligenceIt indicates that the domain does not appear in any public or open-source threat intelligence feeds, malware repositories, or IOC databases.
