Why this verdict

Evidence and analysis

VerdictIQ AIGenerated from 31 deterministic signals

csd[.]link 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 31 signals (including 9 core signals) across 5 taxonomy groups (DNS History, HTTP Crawling, Threat Intelligence, and others). The strongest indicators are Flagged by Security Vendors, SSL Hostname Mismatch, Listed in Malware Sources, plus 28 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.

  • 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.
  • SSL Hostname MismatchcoreHTTP CrawlingIt means the SSL/TLS certificate’s Common Name (CN) or Subject Alternative Name (SAN) does not match the accessed domain.
  • Listed in Malware SourcescoreThreat IntelligenceIt means that the domain has appeared in public or open-source malware intelligence feeds.
  • Critical SSL CA IssuecoreHTTP CrawlingIt means that the SSL/TLS certificate presented by the domain failed critical validation checks.
  • Reputation Decay DomainPopularity & BacklinkIt indicates that the domain’s reputation, visibility, and traffic are steadily declining over time.
  • 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.
  • Weak Popularity DomainPopularity & BacklinkIt represents a domain with limited but detectable user traffic or DNS activity.
  • Limited Web Structure DetectedHTTP CrawlingIt means the domain hosts only a few subpages or internal links.
  • 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.
  • Non-Public DomainHTTP CrawlingIt refers to a domain that operates with restricted accessibility, its HTTP/HTTPS services are either protected, limited to specific users, or intentionally unreachable from the public internet.
  • Geo-Registry Country MismatchDNS HistoryThe IP's geolocation doesn't match the RIR allocation country.
  • 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…
  • Non-Stable DomainDNS HistoryIt refers to domains that frequently fluctuate between being reachable and unreachable at the DNS level.
  • SSL OV ValidationcoreHTTP CrawlingIt means the SSL/TLS certificate of the domain includes verified organizational details that have been authenticated by a Certificate Authority (CA).
  • Large-Scale Enterprise IP BlockcoreDNS HistoryIt indicates that the IP address belongs to a large-scale, long-established, and officially allocated enterprise network.
  • Many FQDNs Sharing IPcoreDNS HistoryIt means the domain operates with a large number of well-organized and active subdomains.
  • Long-Registered DomaincoreWHOISIt indicates that the domain’s WHOIS record shows a long registration duration, typically 2, 5, or 10+ years.
  • Long-Running IPcoreDNS HistoryThese refer to domains that have consistently resolved through DNS 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.
  • 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…
  • Valid SSL Certificate from Recognized CAHTTP CrawlingIt means the domain uses an SSL/TLS certificate issued by a trusted and globally recognized Certificate Authority (CA).
  • 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.
  • Registry–Geo CIDR Full MatchDNS HistoryIt indicates that the delegated registry CIDR fully matches the geolocation CIDR, meaning the entire IP block consistently maps to a single country or region with no fragmentation.
  • ASN Allocated Long Time AgoDNS HistoryIt means that the ASN was allocated many years ago and has a long operational history.
  • Web Technology Stack DetectedHTTP CrawlingIt means that the domain uses one or more identifiable web technologies, such as CMS platforms (WordPress, Drupal), JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular, Vue), analytics tools, CDNs, or web servers.
  • 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…
  • CDN Infrastructure DetectedDNS HistoryThe domain is hosted on shared infrastructure such as a CDN, cloud provider, or shared hosting platform.
  • 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.
  • Commercial Tech Stack DetectedHTTP CrawlingIt indicates that the domain is using one or more commercial (paid or licensed) technologies or services, such as premium CDN providers, enterprise analytics, managed security platforms, or…
  • 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.
  • Long-Term SSL Certificate ValidityHTTP CrawlingIt means that the SSL/TLS certificate of the domain has been issued with an unusually long validity period (e.g., multiple years).
