Why this verdict

Evidence and analysis

VerdictIQ AIGenerated from 23 deterministic signals

follower[.]ge is classified as suspicious with a risk score of 63/100: ambiguous posture; signals suggest concern but lack convergent evidence. The recommended downstream action is alert_only.

The risk model observed 23 signals (including 4 core signals) across 4 taxonomy groups (HTTP Crawling, DNS History, Threat Intelligence, and others). The strongest indicators are Listed in Malware Sources, Flagged by Security Vendors, Critical SSL CA Issue, plus 20 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.

  • 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.
  • Critical SSL CA IssuecoreHTTP CrawlingIt means that the SSL/TLS certificate presented by the domain failed critical validation checks.
  • 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.
  • Reputation Decay DomainPopularity & BacklinkIt indicates that the domain’s reputation, visibility, and traffic are steadily declining over time.
  • 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.
  • Mostly Abandoned SubdomainsDNS HistoryA significant portion of the domain's subdomains are offline or unreachable.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Newly-Issued SSL CertificateHTTP CrawlingIt indicates that the SSL certificate associated with the domain has been newly created or issued.
  • Small Allocation Abuse PatternDNS HistoryIt indicates that a small-sized IP prefix shows a concentration of malicious activity, such as repeated blacklist hits, high-risk domain density, or rapid domain churn, suggesting abuse within the…
  • Assigned IP BlockDNS HistoryIt indicates that the IP block has the RIR status 'assigned', which is commonly associated with end-user or reseller address space that frequently changes hands and exhibits higher abuse rates than…
  • Weak Popularity DomainPopularity & BacklinkIt represents a domain with limited but detectable user traffic or DNS activity.
  • SSL DV ValidationcoreHTTP CrawlingIt indicates that the SSL/TLS certificate’s Common Name (CN) or Subject Alternative Name (SAN) correctly matches the accessed hostname.
  • 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…
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • ASN Allocated Long Time AgoDNS HistoryIt means that the ASN was allocated many years ago and has a long operational history.
  • 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…
  • 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.
  • 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.
