Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
Bernard Nainggolan & Partners is presented as an Indonesian legal-services firm offering consultation and representation in PKPU and bankruptcy matters, criminal and civil litigation, labor issues, and related court proceedings, supported by firm-history, attorney, client, and contact pages.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s visible content is consistent with a law-firm presentation: it identifies Bernard Nainggolan & Partners, describes legal practice areas, provides attorney and client information, and does not display login forms, payment requests, credential-collection forms, or wallet functionality. However, this benign presentation is outweighed by a confirmed external security contradiction: the domain is blacklisted, with 13 malicious detections recorded across evaluated security services. The result is a high-risk posture for sensitive interaction despite the absence of visible on-page fraud mechanics. No identity contradiction or confirmed brand-impersonation finding was observed.
- The homepage presents the firm as “Bernard Nainggolan & Partners,” identifies a founder, and describes PKPU, bankruptcy, criminal, civil, and labor services.
- The homepage and contact content contain no login form, sensitive submission form, external password form, or payment-collection mechanism.
- External security telemetry recorded 13 malicious detections and a confirmed blacklist hit; the evaluated Google Safe Browsing result was not malicious.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The website describes a legal practice and states that it provides consultation, representation, and court-appointed curator or administrator services. Its real-world operator identity remains unverified, and the available on-page disclosure state is unclear. No legal or professional license number is claimed or independently verified in the supplied evidence; this is a material transparency gap for a firm presenting regulated legal services, but it is separate from the confirmed blacklist issue. A long-established registration and sustained historical presence provide provenance context, yet they do not resolve the security contradiction or establish the operator’s identity.
- Domain registration: 2014-02-07T04:56:10Z; age 12.54 years; registrar PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com; expiry 2027-02-07T04:56:10Z.
- Web-archive coverage: 33 snapshots spanning 2014–2025, with 12 years tracked.
- The legal-services pages describe PKPU, bankruptcy, criminal, civil, and labor practice areas but do not state a license number or licensing authority.
- TLS certificate: issuer YR1, DV validation, valid to 2026-10-01T06:38:03+00:00.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive engagement, an institution should independently confirm that the named lawyers and firm are listed with the relevant Indonesian legal or professional registry, validate the firm’s physical office and telephone details through an offline or independently sourced channel, and obtain a signed engagement document identifying the responsible legal entity and fee recipient. Any proposed payment should be made only after the beneficiary details have been independently confirmed and contractual protections are in place.
- The site provides a telephone number, email address, firm-history material, attorney information, and client-related content that can be cross-checked independently.
- The site identifies the founder and describes claimed court-related roles, creating specific professional assertions for registry verification.
- The supplied evidence records an unverified identity status and unclear on-page disclosure state.
Summary Verdict
The website has a professional and apparently coherent legal-services presentation, but the confirmed blacklist and malicious security detections create a critical sensitive-interaction risk. The site should not be treated as trustworthy for login, credential submission, financial engagement, or other sensitive activity.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to infrastructure operated by IDNIC-DENEVA-AS-ID / PT Deneva in Indonesia, with no trusted CDN or WAF identified and two likely origin addresses exposed. This provides limited defensive buffering; infrastructure stability and valid transport encryption do not offset the external reputation findings.
Closing Assessment
Prospective users should limit interaction to passive review until the firm’s identity, professional standing, contact channels, and payment arrangements have been confirmed through independent sources.

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