## Full analysis


### Security Alert

Fortinet, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.

Africa Missions presents itself as a faith-based nonprofit organization focused on missionary support and community programs, including water and sanitation, feeding, and shelter initiatives. The site solicits donations, facilitates volunteer or partner engagement, and offers supporter account registration and login for tracking donation status.


### Scam/Impersonation Risk

The site’s charitable presentation and page content are internally consistent, with no page-level red flags, detected brand impersonation, or suspicious browser behavior reported. However, this benign presentation is materially contradicted by external threat intelligence: the domain is reported as malicious by multiple evaluated sources, including Fortinet and Sophos, and is confirmed on external blacklists. This is a confirmed **blacklist** signal rather than merely a soft reputational concern. The contradiction is especially significant because the site offers donation-related activity and account login, creating sensitive interaction exposure despite the absence of obvious phishing mechanics in the captured page.


Evidence:
- The homepage is categorized as a nonprofit and donation site and contains login, signup, and donation forms; no page-level red flags were identified.
- External scanning recorded 14 malicious detections, with Fortinet and Sophos among the flagged vendors.
- Blacklist status is confirmed by the listed sources VT and EXTERNAL_BLACKLIST; Google Safe Browsing was recorded as non-malicious.
- The domain’s registration record shows creation on 2007-01-23 and an age of 19.58 years, while historical analysis reports no confirmed suspicious repurposing or semantic drift.

### Regulatory Verification Notes

The available content describes a nonprofit donation model but does not state a licensing authority or registration number. That omission is a regulatory and transparency verification gap, not by itself evidence of a scam; nevertheless, the operator’s real-world identity remains independently unverified. The domain’s long registration continuity and valid transport encryption are positive technical facts, but they do not resolve the external blacklist contradiction or establish the organization’s legal standing. No matching third-party broker record was identified, although that context is not a legal or charitable-registration determination.


Evidence:
- The homepage identifies the organization as “Africa Missions” and presents donation, missionary-support, water-and-sanitation, feeding, and shelter-program content.
- The available pages do not provide a licensing authority or registration number for independent regulatory confirmation.
- The domain was registered through eNom Canada Corp. on 2007-01-23 and is recorded as 19.58 years old.
- The site is hosted on AS31898, ORACLE-BMC-31898 – Oracle Corporation, US; its TLS certificate is issued by YR2 at DV validation level and is valid through 2026-11-04.

### What to Verify Next

Before any sensitive interaction, the organization’s charitable registration and legal name should be confirmed through the relevant Canadian or applicable jurisdictional registry, using independently sourced records rather than links or contact details supplied solely by the site. Donation payment instructions should be checked against the confirmed organization and assessed for payment-protection, refund, and receipt controls. Official contact channels should also be confirmed through an independent, offline route, and account credentials should not be reused from other services.


Evidence:
- The homepage states that registered users can track payment status and confirmation, making account and donation controls directly relevant to verification.
- The contact page and homepage provide organizational contact details that can be compared with independently obtained registry information.
- The site’s transport encryption is DV-only, so the certificate confirms encrypted delivery but not the legal identity of the operator.

### Summary Verdict

The available evidence supports a **critical trust posture with sensitive-interaction risk**. Although the site presents a coherent nonprofit profile and some technical continuity signals, the confirmed external blacklist and malicious detections are decisive contradictions, while operator identity remains unverified.


### Infrastructure Integrity

The site resolves to one identified IP associated with AS31898 and Oracle Corporation in the United States; no CDN was detected, and the infrastructure record includes a likely origin address. Oracle hosting is a neutral infrastructure fact rather than proof of legitimacy, and the absence of a detected CDN provides no additional protective mitigation.


### Closing Assessment

Use should be restricted to passive review until the organization’s identity, charitable status, payment arrangements, and official communication channels have been independently confirmed; account, credential, and financial interactions should not proceed beforehand.

## What the analysis found

2 findings contributed to this verdict, raised by registration and ownership, analysis engine, external reputation.

### 01 Governance Risk
- The registration record withholds contact details for the operator. (Registration and ownership `rule:KF_WHOIS_HIDDEN`)
- The public registration record for this domain is incomplete. (Registration and ownership `rule:KF_WHOIS_INCOMPLETE`)
- 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`)
- 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 `rule:EXT_BLACKLIST_CRITICAL`)

## About this assessment


A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about africamissions.ca 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.
