Full analysis
Overview
The website presents itself as the Department of Communal Resources and Agriculture of the Ivano-Frankivsk City Council, offering municipal information on land relations, communal property, agriculture, legal acts, public-information requests, open data, contacts, and auction-related resources. Its apparent purpose is public administration and informational service delivery rather than commercial activity.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s municipal presentation is coherent and the captured homepage contains no apparent commercial monetization, login form, or sensitive submission form. However, this benign page content is materially outweighed by confirmed external threat contradictions: the domain is recorded as blacklisted, with two malicious and one suspicious detections. The available evidence does not establish that the page is impersonating a named institution, but the reputation findings create a serious risk for sensitive interaction and prevent the apparent municipal identity from being treated as independently established.
- The homepage identifies the Ivano-Frankivsk City Council department and lists municipal functions, public-information procedures, legal acts, and open-data resources.
- External reputation results recorded 2 malicious detections and 1 suspicious detection, with a confirmed blacklist status.
- Domain registration evidence records creation on 2018-11-01 and an age of 7.8 years.
- Historical coverage records 57 archive snapshots spanning 2018–2025, with 8 years tracked.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site includes substantive administrative materials, including departmental provisions, reports, regulatory acts, public-information procedures, and contact and working-hour information. Nevertheless, the available evidence does not independently verify the real-world operator, and the site’s legal and governance disclosures remain unclear for purposes of institutional authentication. No commercial licensing claim is presented, which is consistent with the stated municipal-service model, but it does not resolve the external reputation contradiction. A separate broker-reputation dataset produced no match and therefore provides no additional adverse or validating conclusion.
- The “About/Structure,” “Reports,” “Department Regulations,” and “Legal Acts” pages describe the department’s functions and relationship to the city council.
- The public-information and contacts pages provide administrative procedures and departmental contact information, but the supplied evidence does not independently verify the operator.
- The site is served from AS200000, Ukraine-AS - Hosting Ukraine LTD, UA.
- The transport certificate is DV-validated, issued by YR1, and valid to 2026-09-22T08:41:49+00:00.
What to Verify Next
Before any credential, payment, document-upload, or other sensitive interaction, the claimed municipal affiliation should be confirmed through an independently obtained Ivano-Frankivsk City Council directory or offline government contact route rather than relying solely on links or contact details presented on the site. The domain and its current status should also be reconciled with the city council’s officially published web properties, while the external blacklist result should be escalated to the relevant institutional security or service-provider contacts for clarification. Until those checks are resolved, use should be limited to viewing publicly available information.
- The homepage contains no login form, hidden sensitive form, or sensitive input workflow in the captured session.
- The site’s stated subjects are municipal administration, communal resources, agriculture, legal acts, and open data rather than online financial services.
- The captured browser sessions completed successfully with no external posts, external XHR requests, wallet activity, or clipboard-write activity observed.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is low trust with elevated risk for sensitive interaction. The site appears to provide legitimate-looking municipal information, but that presentation is not sufficient to overcome the confirmed external reputation contradictions and the lack of independently verified institutional identity.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site is directly hosted rather than fronted by a detected CDN or WAF, and two likely origin IPs were identified. This provides no protective infrastructure mitigation against the reputation concerns, although the hosting configuration itself does not demonstrate malicious behavior.
- CDN detected: false; edge IP count: 0; likely origin IP count: 2.
- The resolved infrastructure is located in Ukraine and uses the RIPE NCC registry.
Closing Assessment
Sensitive actions should remain suspended until the claimed government affiliation and the external reputation findings have been independently reconciled; publicly viewable, non-sensitive browsing is the proportionate interim use.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about depkr.if.ua 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.
