Full analysis
Security Alert
Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
The website is a Chinese-language lottery and gambling-promotional service presenting Taiwan lottery results, historical draws, betting tips, sponsor advertising, and links to alternate domains. Its apparent business model is referral or affiliate promotion rather than operation of a clearly identified, transparently licensed betting service.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site presents several direct risk indicators, including promotion of an alternate domain, prompts to use another browser or domain to continue access, unverified contact or address information, and an opaque path from published betting content to any underlying payment or wagering service. Its claims and promotional presentation are not supported by clear operator evidence. No conflicting legal identities or explicit brand impersonation were observed, but the domain is blacklisted by the evaluated external sources, and malicious detections were recorded; this is a material contradiction that outweighs the absence of a login form or wallet-drainer behavior in the captured session. The appropriate posture is to treat the site as unsuitable for credentials, payments, or betting transactions.
- The homepage publishes Taiwan lottery results, historical draws, betting recommendations, sponsor material, and an alternate-domain notice directing visitors elsewhere.
- External security evaluation recorded 14 malicious detections and a blacklist status, with Kaspersky and Sophos among the flagged providers.
- Browser observation recorded a maximum post-interaction DOM difference of 6,221 and classified alternate-domain promotion, sponsor content, gambling content, and redirection-oriented behavior as suspicious.
- Archive records show 10 snapshots from 2018-07-05 through 2025-07-18, covering 8 tracked years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The homepage does not identify a licensing authority or license number for the gambling-related activity, and it does not clearly establish the legal entity responsible for the service. This is a regulatory and transparency gap rather than, by itself, proof of fraud; however, in combination with the confirmed external reputation warnings and the opaque commercial flow, it prevents the site from being treated as a regulated betting operator. Independent identity verification remains unresolved. The site uses a valid domain-validated TLS certificate, but transport encryption confirms only encrypted communication and not licensing or operator legitimacy.
- The homepage contains no stated licensing authority or license number for the promoted lottery or betting activity.
- The site’s transport encryption uses a DV certificate issued by YE2, valid to 2026-09-30T12:00:12+00:00.
- The domain’s registrar is NameSilo, LLC; the available evidence does not independently connect the site to a verified legal operator.
What to Verify Next
Before any engagement, an appropriate gambling regulator’s public registry should be checked for the operator name, domain, and any claimed service authorization. The promoted destination and payment beneficiary should be independently validated through regulator records, established corporate records, and payment-provider confirmation rather than through links supplied by the homepage. Official support and contact channels should also be confirmed through an independent, offline route. Pending those checks, sensitive interaction should not proceed.
- The homepage’s lottery and betting presentation provides a specific basis for checking the relevant gambling-licensing registry.
- The referral-oriented business description provides a specific basis for confirming the legal payee and destination before any financial transfer.
- The unresolved identity status provides a specific basis for independently validating official contact channels.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical, with confirmed external threat and reputation contradictions that make the website unsuitable for sensitive interaction. Its apparent content purpose and business model do not provide sufficient assurance of a legitimate, accountable operator, and legitimacy should not be treated as established.
Infrastructure Integrity
The website is protected by Cloudflare’s CDN/WAF infrastructure and resolves through CDN edge servers rather than a directly observable origin. This reduces direct exposure of the hosting environment and is a mitigating technical control, but it does not offset the site’s external threat detections or establish trustworthiness.
- Served from AS13335 (CLOUDFLARENET—Cloudflare, Inc., US); observed edge IPs were 104.21.28.221, 172.67.147.185, 2606:4700:3036::6815:1cdd, and 2606:4700:3037::ac43:93b9.
- Four CDN edge addresses were observed and zero likely origin addresses were identified.
- The TLS certificate uses DV validation and issuer YE2, with expiry recorded as 2026-09-30T12:00:12+00:00.
Closing Assessment
The site should be handled as a blocked sensitive-interaction candidate: no credentials, payments, betting deposits, or other financially consequential actions should be submitted through it. Any business need should be redirected to independently verified, regulator-recognized channels.

What the analysis found
2 findings contributed to this verdict, raised by registration and ownership, analysis engine, behaviour in a sandbox, external reputation.
01 Governance Risk
- The registration record withholds contact details for the operator.Registration and ownership
rule:KF_WHOIS_HIDDEN - Registration details are held behind a privacy service, so no operator is named publicly. This is common and legal, and it also means there is nobody to check.Registration and ownership
rule:KF_WHOIS_PRIVATE
02 Sensitive Interaction Risk
- The analysis matched a pattern TrustSniffer treats as a direct threat to a visitor.Analysis engine
signal:direct_threat - The page replaced a large part of its own content after loading.Behaviour in a sandbox
rule:BEHAV_DOM_CHANGE_HIGH - The page rewrote itself after it was interacted with, so what a visitor first sees is not what they end up on.Behaviour in a sandbox
rule:BEHAV_DOM_DIFF_AFTER_INTERACTION - The structure of the page changed sharply while it was loading.Behaviour in a sandbox
rule:BEHAV_DOM_DENSITY_SPIKE - An external threat feed lists this domain: either Google Safe Browsing marked it malicious, or a significant number of malware engines flagged it.External reputation

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about 26588.top 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.
