Why this verdict

Evidence and analysis

VerdictIQ AIGenerated from 27 deterministic signals

andersonhcl[.]com is classified as suspicious with a risk score of 66/100: ambiguous posture; signals suggest concern but lack convergent evidence. The recommended downstream action is alert_only.

The risk model observed 27 signals (including 9 core signals) across 5 taxonomy groups (Popularity & Backlink, DNS History, HTTP Crawling, and others). The strongest indicators are Critical SSL CA Issue, Listed in Malware Sources, Flagged by Security Vendors, plus 24 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.

  • Critical SSL CA IssuecoreHTTP CrawlingIt means that the SSL/TLS certificate presented by the domain failed critical validation checks.
  • Listed in Malware SourcescoreThreat IntelligenceIt means that the domain has appeared in public or open-source malware intelligence feeds.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • SSL Hostname MismatchcoreHTTP CrawlingIt means the SSL/TLS certificate’s Common Name (CN) or Subject Alternative Name (SAN) does not match the accessed domain.
  • 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.
  • Reputation Decay DomainPopularity & BacklinkIt indicates that the domain’s reputation, visibility, and traffic are steadily declining over time.
  • Weak Popularity DomainPopularity & BacklinkIt represents a domain with limited but detectable user traffic or DNS activity.
  • WHOIS Record Updated in Last WeekWHOISIt indicates that the domain's WHOIS data, such as ownership, registrar, or contact details, has been updated within a recent time frame.
  • 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.
  • Default Web Page DetectedHTTP CrawlingIt refers to a website that displays the default or placeholder page of a known web technology, such as 'Apache Default Page' or 'Nginx Welcome Page'.
  • One-Off Popularity RisePopularity & BacklinkIt indicates that the domain's PageRank time series contains a single interior point where the rank improved (numerically decreased) by more than the extreme_spike_ratio (default 100x) compared to…
  • 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.
  • Large-Scale Enterprise IP BlockcoreDNS HistoryIt indicates that the IP address belongs to a large-scale, long-established, and officially allocated enterprise network.
  • Owned MX UsagecoreDNS HistoryIt means the domain operates its own mail exchange (MX) servers instead of relying on trusted third-party providers like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or Proofpoint.
  • Long-Running IPcoreDNS HistoryThese refer to domains that have consistently resolved through DNS over a long period.
  • Long-Registered DomaincoreWHOISIt indicates that the domain’s WHOIS record shows a long registration duration, typically 2, 5, or 10+ years.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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…
  • Centralized IP-Subdomain Infrastructure DetectedDNS HistoryIt indicates that multiple subdomains of the same domain are actively served through a shared IP address over a long period.
  • Stable NS Usage Long TermDNS HistoryIt shows that the domain has maintained the same nameserver configuration without fluctuations, suggesting predictable and well-managed DNS infrastructure.
  • 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.
  • 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…
  • Stable MX Usage Long TermDNS HistoryIt shows the domain has been using the same mail exchange servers for an extended period, reflecting stable and predictable email infrastructure.
