Full analysis
Overview
Astatica is a Malaysia-based creative production company presenting VFX, animation, motion graphics, post-production services, showreels, client work, testimonials, careers information, and contact details for prospective corporate and media clients.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions were observed. The site’s stated business model is coherent with its presentation: it offers creative production services through client projects and service fees, rather than financial products or high-risk transaction mechanisms. The homepage identifies Astatica’s work across VFX, 3D and 2D animation, motion graphics, and post-production, and presents named commercial projects associated with brands including Honda, Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Petronas, Disney Channel, and Netflix. The site has no login form, sensitive submission form, wallet-connect activity, cryptocurrency indicators, or observed phishing behavior. A page-level similarity signal associated the name with “static.microsoft,” but the site’s content, business category, and observed behavior do not corroborate brand impersonation; this remains a non-confirmed similarity rather than an identity contradiction.
- Homepage: identifies Astatica as a VFX, motion, animation, production, and direction company and displays its showreel and client portfolio.
- Homepage and site behavior: no login form, hidden form, password submission, wallet-provider activity, or clipboard-hijacking behavior was detected.
- Domain registration: registered 2013-09-24; approximately 12.92 years old.
Regulatory Verification Notes
Available evidence is consistent with an established, apparently legitimate creative-services website, although the real-world operator identity is not independently verified. The About and Contact areas provide business context and a route for engagement, but the supplied site content does not present a corporate registration number, regulatory license, or licensing authority. For a production agency, this is primarily a contracting and transparency matter rather than evidence of deceptive activity. A contextual broker-reputation lookup produced no match, but that signal is not a legal or licensing determination. The domain is registered through Tucows Domains Inc., and its transport encryption is provided by a valid, mainstream-issued DV certificate.
- Registrar record: creation date 2013-09-24T05:24:34Z; expiration date 2027-09-24T05:24:34Z; registrar Tucows Domains Inc.
- Hosting and TLS telemetry: served on AS13335, Cloudflare, Inc.; TLS certificate issued by WE1 with DV validation, valid to 2026-11-17.
- About and Contact pages: describe the business and provide engagement routes, but no corporate registration or license number is stated in the supplied content.
What to Verify Next
Before a commercial engagement, the prospective counterparty should independently confirm the legal contracting name, invoicing details, and authorized representatives through the company’s published contact routes and an independent business source. The project agreement should define scope, deliverables, intellectual-property ownership, payment milestones, confidentiality, and dispute handling. Any payment request should be checked against the independently confirmed contracting entity and protected using normal business payment controls.
- About page: provides the principal business description to compare against the proposed contracting entity.
- Contact page: supplies the site’s stated engagement route for confirming representatives and payment details.
- Works and homepage pages: provide the portfolio context against which claimed client relationships and project credentials can be independently checked.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is high trust and low risk, with the available evidence consistent with an established, apparently legitimate website and no observed scam, phishing, blacklist, or impersonation contradiction. Confidence in connecting the website to a specific real-world operator is positive but not conclusive.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site is protected by Cloudflare’s CDN and WAF, and all observed addresses were CDN edge infrastructure rather than an exposed origin candidate. This reduces direct infrastructure exposure and is a mitigating security control, but it is not independent proof of the operator’s identity or legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Normal browsing and ordinary business evaluation are proportionate; credential or payment interactions should follow standard independent counterparty, contract, and payment-protection checks.

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