| What this site appears to be | Company site for Anhui-based electrical wire and cable manufacturer offering product listings, certifications, contact info and company background. The content is heavily injected with repetitive SEO/keyword phrases (notably '365bet' strings) suggesting possible automated or spammy template usage, but no phishing, payment solicitations, or credential harvesting is present. |

Full analysis
Security Alert
Google, Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
The website presents itself as an Anhui-based manufacturer and seller of industrial and specialty electrical wires and cables, with product listings, company information, certifications, and direct-sales contact details for business customers.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site carries a clearly elevated security risk because multiple external reputation sources identify it as malicious or blacklisted, including a Google Safe Browsing malicious finding and 16 malicious detections with two additional suspicious detections. The website’s apparent manufacturing purpose is also materially inconsistent with the homepage title and page text, which contain repetitive betting-related phrases such as “365bet” and references to sports-betting software; this is consistent with keyword injection or compromised-template activity. No identity contradiction, brand impersonation, or phishing form was observed in the captured page, and no payment solicitation, credential-harvesting form, or hidden sensitive form was present; those limited benign observations do not offset the confirmed external threat findings.
- The homepage presents electrical-wire and cable products but uses a title and repeated page text containing “365bet” and sports-betting phrases.
- External reputation checks recorded Google Safe Browsing as malicious, 16 malicious detections, two suspicious detections, and a confirmed blacklist status across Google Safe Browsing, VirusTotal, and another external blacklist source.
- The homepage capture contained no login form, hidden form, password-external form, or wallet interaction.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The apparent business model is conventional B2B manufacturing and direct product sales, but the site’s legal and regulatory status remains unverified. No license, licensing authority, or registration number is claimed in the supplied business analysis, and the on-page disclosure state is unclear; this is a verification gap rather than independent proof of misconduct. The registration record identifies NameSilo, LLC as registrar and uses privacy registration details, while the available technical evidence confirms only that the domain and transport layer exist—not which real-world entity operates the website. The low authority signal and the absence of a matched broker record provide contextual information only and do not establish legal status.
- The company, product, and contact sections describe electrical-wire and cable manufacturing and sales but do not provide a stated licensing authority or license number.
- The domain was registered in 2022 and is approximately 3.89 years old; the registrar is NameSilo, LLC.
- The site is served from AS398823, identified as PEG-LA - PEG TECH INC, US.
- The site uses a DV TLS certificate issued by YR2, valid through 2026-11-02.
What to Verify Next
Sensitive interaction should be suspended pending independent confirmation of the operating company and the site’s security status. A prospective counterparty should confirm the manufacturer’s legal registration, physical business presence, product certifications, and any permits relevant to the proposed transaction through authoritative registries or independently sourced records. Contact details should be validated through an offline or independently obtained channel rather than relying solely on the website. Security teams should also check the domain against current protective controls before allowing browsing from corporate networks, and procurement teams should require payment protections that preserve recourse.
- The company-introduction, certifications, and contact pages are the relevant locations for validating the claimed manufacturer identity and product credentials.
- The page content is marked by a claim-evidence discrepancy and heavy keyword stuffing, making independent confirmation of company claims necessary.
- The captured site has no sensitive form, so validation should occur through independent corporate and commercial channels rather than through on-site account interaction.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical trust risk with a high likelihood that the website or its current content has been compromised, abused, or otherwise associated with malicious activity. The site’s stated industrial-manufacturing purpose is not sufficient to overcome the confirmed external detections and material content inconsistency, and the real-world operator remains unverified.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to infrastructure operated by PEG-LA - PEG TECH INC in the United States, with no CDN edge identified and no WAF or CDN vendor detected in the supplied infrastructure analysis. The directly exposed hosting arrangement provides no meaningful mitigating protection against the established reputation concerns.
- Infrastructure resolution identified one unique IP address and one likely origin address.
- No CDN was detected, and no edge IPs were identified.
- The hosting provider is PEG-LA - PEG TECH INC, US, using AS398823.
Closing Assessment
Corporate security, procurement, and payment teams should treat the website as unsuitable for login, credential submission, or financial interaction unless and until independent business validation and a clean security assessment materially change the evidence.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about facebook-connect.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.
