Why this verdict

Evidence and analysis

VerdictIQ AIGenerated from 26 deterministic signals

ducat[.]kz is classified as suspicious with a risk score of 61/100: ambiguous posture; signals suggest concern but lack convergent evidence. The recommended downstream action is alert_only.

The risk model observed 26 signals (including 8 core signals) across 4 taxonomy groups (DNS History, Popularity & Backlink, HTTP Crawling, and others). The strongest indicators are SSL Hostname Mismatch, Critical SSL CA Issue, Untrusted or Misconfigured SSL Certificate, plus 23 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.

  • SSL Hostname MismatchcoreHTTP CrawlingIt means the SSL/TLS certificate’s Common Name (CN) or Subject Alternative Name (SAN) does not match the accessed domain.
  • Critical SSL CA IssuecoreHTTP CrawlingIt means that the SSL/TLS certificate presented by the domain failed critical validation checks.
  • Untrusted or Misconfigured SSL CertificatecoreHTTP CrawlingIt indicates that the domain’s SSL/TLS certificate cannot be fully trusted due to issues such as expiration, incorrect configuration, mismatched hostname, or unrecognized certificate authority.
  • 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.
  • Listed in Malware SourcescoreThreat IntelligenceIt means that the domain has appeared in public or open-source malware intelligence feeds.
  • 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.
  • 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…
  • Weak Popularity DomainPopularity & BacklinkIt represents a domain with limited but detectable user traffic or DNS activity.
  • Geo-ASN Country MismatchDNS HistoryThe IP's geolocation country doesn't match the ASN's registered country.
  • 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.
  • Inactive HTTP Service Detected (Base Domain)HTTP CrawlingIt indicates that the base domain’s web service (HTTP/HTTPS) is no longer responding or has gone offline.
  • Newly-Issued SSL CertificateHTTP CrawlingIt indicates that the SSL certificate associated with the domain has been newly created or issued.
  • Geo-Registry Country MismatchDNS HistoryThe IP's geolocation doesn't match the RIR allocation country.
  • 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.
  • 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…
  • ASN Allocated Long Time AgoDNS HistoryIt means that the ASN was allocated many years ago and has a long operational history.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Private Certificate Authority (CA) Signed SSL DetectedHTTP CrawlingIt means that the SSL/TLS certificate in use was issued by a private or internal Certificate Authority rather than a globally recognized CA.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
