Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
This website is a personal resume and portfolio site for Abdullah Khan, presenting education, professional experience, software projects, technical skills, a downloadable resume, and a contact form. Its apparent purpose is self-promotion for employment, contracting, or professional collaboration rather than direct commercial or financial activity.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The website’s homepage presents a coherent personal portfolio and shows no login form, credential-harvesting mechanism, financial solicitation, or apparent brand impersonation. However, the domain is subject to a confirmed blacklist finding and multiple external malicious detections, creating a direct contradiction between its benign presentation and its external security reputation. The evidence does not establish an identity contradiction or impersonation, and IP-level abuse reports were discounted because they were attributed to shared provider infrastructure; that attribution does not offset the domain-level detections. The site should therefore be treated as unsuitable for sensitive interaction despite its apparently benign content.
- The homepage identifies Abdullah Khan as a full-stack software engineer and contains portfolio, education, experience, project, and contact content.
- The homepage has one contact form and no detected login form, hidden form, password submission, wallet connection, or credential-harvesting behavior.
- External security intelligence recorded 15 malicious detections for the domain, including detections associated with Fortinet and Sophos, together with a confirmed blacklist hit.
- The domain was registered in 2026 and is approximately 0.61 years old; the registrar is Name.com, Inc.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The homepage provides an apparent personal identity and professional background, but the available material does not independently prove the real-world operator’s identity. No financial or regulated service is presented, and no license claim or license number is made on the homepage; this is a disclosure limitation rather than evidence of a regulated-business violation. The available third-party broker context contains no match and should not be interpreted as a licensing determination. The decisive concern remains the external security contradiction, not the absence of a financial license for an apparently personal portfolio.
- The homepage states that Abdullah Khan completed a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Applied Mathematics and lists employment and project experience.
- The homepage does not present a license authority or registration number and describes no regulated financial service.
- The site is served on AS16509, identified as AMAZON-02 - Amazon.com, Inc., US.
- The site’s TLS certificate is issued by YR2, uses DV validation, and is valid to 2026-10-10.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive interaction, independently authenticate the individual and the professional claims through established contact routes rather than relying solely on the website. Security teams should also confirm whether the domain or any linked downloadable material is permitted by their organisation’s reputation and web-access controls. Any business engagement should use independently obtained contact details, documented contractual terms, and payment protections.
- The homepage links to LinkedIn and GitHub, providing independent channels through which the stated identity and work history can be checked.
- The homepage offers a downloadable resume, making independent malware and document-integrity checks appropriate before opening or circulating it.
- The contact function is presented as a general contact form rather than a sensitive account or payment workflow.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical and unsuitable for sensitive interaction. The site’s apparent personal identity and benign presentation do not overcome the decisive contradictory security evidence, so legitimacy remains unproven for operational or trust purposes.
Infrastructure Integrity
The website is protected by Vercel’s CDN/WAF infrastructure, with observed edge addresses hosted through Amazon’s AS16509. No origin server address was identified in the supplied infrastructure evidence. This architecture provides a mitigating layer against direct origin exposure, but protective hosting does not establish site legitimacy or neutralise the external reputation findings.
Closing Assessment
Restrict the site to passive viewing, if access is necessary, and withhold credentials, sensitive information, downloads, and financial activity unless independent identity and security validation produces a satisfactory result.

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