Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
ABN Net Link is an online Bangladeshi ecommerce storefront presenting networking, fiber/FTTx, and IT hardware for direct sale through product listings, order calls to action, shopping-cart and checkout functions, account access, and a stated physical shop address in Dhaka.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site presents a critical sensitive-interaction risk because external threat intelligence produced confirmed blacklist findings and multiple malicious detections, despite the storefront itself appearing to contain ordinary product content and no observed brand-impersonation indicators. The homepage advertises products such as Jilong and Komshine optical time-domain reflectometers, prices, discounts, and “Order Now” actions; these normal ecommerce features do not resolve the external reputation contradiction. No identity contradiction or direct impersonation finding was observed, but the operating identity remains unverified and the available evidence does not support credential, ordering, or payment interaction.
- The homepage is an ecommerce storefront with product listings, prices, discounts, account links, and order calls to action.
- External reputation telemetry recorded 9 malicious and 1 suspicious detections across evaluated providers, including findings from three enterprise security providers, and confirmed blacklist status from two external sources.
- Domain registration telemetry records creation on 2024-05-11, with an age of approximately 2.27 years.
- Historical web records span 2023-03-13 through 2025-07-10, representing 3 years tracked.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site operates as a hardware retailer rather than presenting itself as a financial or investment service, and the analyzed business model contains no stated license claim or license number. The homepage and available storefront content provide a business name, contact information, and a Dhaka shop address, but the real-world operator identity is not independently verified; this is a material governance and disclosure gap for a business accepting orders and potentially payments. A third-party broker-reputation dataset returned no match, which is contextual only and does not establish legal registration, licensing, or legitimacy. The presence of valid transport encryption and identifiable hosting is a technical control, not proof of the merchant’s legal identity.
- The homepage title identifies “ABN Net Link” as a Bangladesh ecommerce website and the storefront displays contact and shop information.
- The analyzed business model contains no claimed licensing authority or license number.
- Hosting telemetry identifies AS153528, operated by ESL-AS-AP - ExtentIT Solution Limited, BD.
- The site’s TLS certificate is issued by YR1 at DV validation level and is valid to 2026-09-19T23:57:40+00:00; the domain registrar is NameCheap, Inc.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive interaction, an independent party should confirm that the Dhaka shop address, telephone contact, and business name correspond to the same operating entity through an offline or independently sourced channel. The applicable Bangladeshi business-registration and consumer-trade requirements should also be checked where relevant, and any payment method should provide clear buyer protection, traceable merchant details, and a dispute process. Login credentials should not be reused from other services, and account or payment activity should remain suspended until the external reputation findings have been resolved by the responsible operator or payment intermediary.
- The homepage provides the merchant name, contact information, physical shop reference, and account-login functions requiring independent confirmation.
- The storefront uses product ordering, cart, checkout, and account-registration mechanisms, creating a sensitive transaction surface.
- The available identity-verification status is unverified, so the on-page business presentation has not been independently connected to a confirmed real-world operator.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical risk for sensitive interaction. The ordinary appearance of the retail catalog is outweighed by confirmed external blacklist findings, malicious detections, and the absence of independently verified operator identity. Passive viewing is materially less exposed than login, credential submission, ordering, or payment activity.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to a single apparent origin hosted by ExtentIT Solution Limited in Bangladesh on AS153528, with no detected CDN or WAF edge layer. Its YR1 DV certificate provides transport encryption, but direct hosting and basic certificate validation offer only limited infrastructure assurance and cannot offset the external reputation risk.
Closing Assessment
The appropriate operational posture is to limit activity to non-sensitive observation and withhold credentials, orders, and payment information until the merchant identity, contact channels, and adverse reputation findings have been independently resolved.

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