Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
This website currently presents only an HTTP 403 Forbidden response from an nginx server, with no visible application, business model, links, forms, operator identity, or stated purpose for visitors.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site presents a critical interaction risk. No identity contradiction or brand impersonation was visible in the captured page, but the domain is listed by two external blacklist sources and has multiple independent malicious detections, including detections from major security providers. The access-denied page provides no legitimate operating context that could explain or mitigate those findings. The site should therefore be treated as unsuitable for credential submission, account creation, downloads, or financial activity; read-only observation is the only proportionate use while the findings remain unresolved.
- The homepage returned HTTP 403 Forbidden and exposed only the text “403 Forbidden” and “nginx/1.24.0 (Ubuntu),” with no links, forms, or application content.
- External reputation assessment recorded 20 malicious detections, 2 suspicious detections, and 27 evaluated detections in total.
- The domain was recorded as listed by two external blacklist sources.
- Domain registration telemetry records creation on 2025-12-24, with an age of 0.8 years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The available page does not expose legal, ownership, licensing, or regulatory disclosures, so the operator’s real-world identity remains unverified and the site’s regulatory status cannot be established from the supplied content. This is a material transparency gap in addition to the independent reputation warnings, not a licensing conclusion. Registration was handled through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED; that administrative fact does not establish the operator’s legitimacy or regulatory standing.
- The captured homepage contains no legal, identity, licensing, registration-number, terms, or contact disclosure.
- The site’s transport encryption is domain-validated, issued by YE2, and valid through 2026-11-21.
- TLS telemetry records validation level DV and issuer YE2.
- The registration record identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED as registrar.
What to Verify Next
Before any interaction beyond passive observation, an independent registry check should confirm whether an identifiable operator is authorized to provide the site’s intended service, if such a service is later presented. Any operator identity, licensing claim, or support channel should be corroborated through an independently sourced corporate or regulatory channel rather than through the site itself. No credentials, personal data, payment details, wallet authorizations, or downloaded files should be provided unless the blacklist findings are cleared and the operator is independently validated.
- The homepage currently provides no service description against which licensing or authorization can be assessed.
- The operator identity remains unverified in the available evidence.
- The external reputation findings remain unresolved in the supplied analysis.
Summary Verdict
The site has a critical trust posture and should not be treated as an established or verified service. The convergence of external malicious detections, blacklist status, absent operating content, and unverified identity outweighs the limited positive technical indicators.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site is protected by Cloudflare CDN/WAF infrastructure, which is a mitigating control for direct origin exposure but is not evidence of legitimacy. The observed edge address was 150.241.66.54, associated with AS210457 and KYONIX, GB; the origin server was not observable in this analysis.
- Served through edge IP 150.241.66.54 on AS210457.
- Hosting organization recorded as KYONIX, GB.
- Cloudflare was detected as the CDN/WAF provider.
- The observed infrastructure contained 1 edge IP and 0 identified origin candidates.
Closing Assessment
The appropriate posture is to refrain from sensitive interaction and escalate any proposed engagement for independent identity, regulatory, and security validation before proceeding.

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