Full analysis
Security Alert
Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
The website at 025nh.com presents itself as a Chinese university law-and-economics research institute, offering lecture listings, faculty profiles, academic news, research projects, and course schedules; its apparent purpose is informational and institutional rather than transactional.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s academic presentation contains no visible login, payment, wallet, or sensitive-data form, and observed browser activity showed no external requests, hidden forms, or wallet-drainer behavior. However, these benign page-level characteristics are materially outweighed by confirmed external threat detections and a confirmed blacklist status, including multiple malicious classifications. The homepage also uses “365APP下载” as its title and repeatedly in navigation while presenting university research content, an unexplained branding mismatch that warrants scrutiny, although it is not by itself an identity contradiction. No separate conflicting legal-entity names or direct brand-impersonation finding were observed. The domain should therefore be treated as unsuitable for credentials, account access, or financial interaction pending independent resolution of the security detections.
- The homepage presents law-and-economics lectures, faculty names, academic news, and course schedules, but its title and repeated navigation label are “365APP下载.”
- External security telemetry recorded 15 malicious detections and 1 suspicious detection; the domain is also marked blacklisted by multiple sources.
- The domain was registered on 2018-06-27 and is approximately 8.15 years old; archival records contain 10 snapshots spanning 2019–2026, with 8 years tracked.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The institute introduction claims an affiliation with China University of Political Science and Law and describes the organisation as a university teaching and research institution. That on-page claim is not independently verified by the supplied evidence, and the available material does not establish a licensing or regulatory status. This is a transparency and identity-verification gap rather than a standalone finding of fraud. A separate broker-reputation dataset produced no matching result, which provides no adverse broker-specific signal but also does not validate the university affiliation or website ownership.
- The institute-introduction content states that the organisation is a directly affiliated teaching and research institution of China University of Political Science and Law.
- No licence authority or licence number is stated in the supplied site content.
- The site is hosted on AS398823, PEG-LA - PEG TECH INC, US; its TLS certificate is DV-issued by YR1 and valid through 2026-10-31T00:44:47+00:00.
What to Verify Next
An independent route should confirm that the institute, its stated faculty and its lecture archive are listed in the university’s official directory or reached through a separately sourced university domain. Security teams should also obtain a current disposition for the confirmed blacklist and malicious detections before permitting the domain in enterprise environments. Until those checks are resolved, access should remain limited to passive review, with credentials, downloads, payments, and other sensitive interactions prohibited.
- The supplied content identifies the claimed university affiliation only within the site’s own institute-introduction material.
- The captured homepage contains no login form, sensitive form, or untrusted form destination.
- The observed browser sessions completed successfully with no external XHR or POST activity and no detected wallet connection.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical trust risk. The site has a coherent academic-looking presentation, but the confirmed external threat and blacklist signals create a decisive contradiction that prevents the website from being treated as trustworthy for sensitive interaction. Its real-world operator identity remains unverified.
Infrastructure Integrity
The domain resolves directly to one likely origin address, 38.28.209.21, hosted by PEG-LA - PEG TECH INC in the United States on AS398823, with no detected CDN or WAF. The valid DV certificate provides transport encryption only and does not establish operator legitimacy or offset the external reputation risk.
Closing Assessment
Enterprise controls should block or quarantine sensitive interaction with the domain until independent institutional confirmation and security-detection remediation have been completed.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about 025nh.com at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
