Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
ibaca.org currently presents a “Website coming soon” placeholder hosted within the InMotion Hosting network, with references to hosting products, control-panel access, webmail, and support resources rather than an operational service, business, or transaction platform.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site carries a confirmed blacklist and threat-detection concern despite the benign appearance of its landing page. External security assessment identified 12 malicious detections, including detections associated with Fortinet and Sophos, and the domain is recorded in external blacklist sources. A separate page-level similarity signal associated the domain with ca.gov, but the captured page itself contains no governmental branding, active service content, login form, or phishing form; therefore, the available evidence supports a serious reputation contradiction without independently establishing impersonation. The placeholder presentation also provides no explanation for why the domain is being assessed as malicious, leaving the external detections materially unresolved.
- External security telemetry recorded 12 malicious detections, with Fortinet and Sophos among the flagged vendors.
- The domain was recorded as present in external blacklist sources; a major safe-browsing source separately returned no malicious result.
- The homepage is an InMotion Hosting placeholder with no login form, hidden form, password submission, or payment interface.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The available page does not identify an operating legal entity, describe an active service, or state a license or registration basis. Identity verification therefore remains incomplete, and the page’s disclosure state is insufficient for attributing the site to a real-world operator. The domain’s registration through Moniker Online Services LLC and its hosting and transport configuration are ordinary technical facts, not evidence that the site is licensed or that the operator is legitimate. No broker-dataset match was returned, but that is contextual information only and does not constitute a regulatory determination.
- The captured homepage contains approximately 640 characters of text and presents only “Website coming soon” and hosting-provider material.
- The registration record shows creation on 2021-05-17T02:57:27Z, approximately 5.26 years ago; registrar: Moniker Online Services LLC.
- The site is served from AS22612 (NAMECHEAP-NET — Namecheap, Inc., US).
- The site’s TLS certificate is issued by YR2 at DV validation level and is valid to 2026-11-08T10:30:07+00:00.
What to Verify Next
Any prospective engagement should first establish the responsible legal entity through an independent corporate or regulatory registry appropriate to the activity the domain may later offer. Contact channels should be confirmed through an independently sourced, offline route rather than relying solely on links presented by the domain. Until the external detections and blacklist status are independently resolved by the responsible security team, the domain should not be used for authentication, credential submission, payment, or financial activity.
- The homepage identifies a hosting account and future site deployment, not an operating business with documented ownership or regulatory status.
- No sensitive form, login workflow, or active commercial transaction was observed during the captured interaction.
- Behavioral inspection recorded two successful runs, two non-whitelisted external requests, four console errors, and no wallet or credential-drainer activity.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical trust risk and is unsuitable for sensitive interaction. The benign placeholder content does not reconcile the confirmed external threat detections and blacklist contradiction, while the real-world operator remains unverified.
Infrastructure Integrity
The supplied infrastructure facts do not establish a trusted CDN or WAF layer that would provide a meaningful mitigating posture. No additional origin-protection conclusion is drawn from the available infrastructure record.
Closing Assessment
Prospective users and enterprise controls should block sensitive interaction with the domain pending independent resolution of the threat indicators and confirmation of the responsible operator.

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