Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
This website is a French-language local-business site for Informatic & Solaire, presenting computer and solar categories together with a Kinshasa contact address and telephone support; its apparent business model is local retail or service engagement rather than an online financial or account-based platform.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site presents a relatively benign surface: the homepage identifies computer and solar services, provides a physical address and telephone number, and exposes no login, password, payment, or other sensitive form in the supplied content. However, this does not reconcile the site with the confirmed external threat findings. Twelve malicious detections were recorded, including detections associated with Fortinet and Sophos, and the domain is blacklisted by the evaluated sources. These are direct reputation contradictions to the site's ordinary local-business presentation, so the website should be treated as potentially compromised, misclassified, or otherwise unsafe for sensitive interaction. No separate brand-impersonation or conflicting legal-identity finding was observed.
- External reputation evaluation recorded 12 malicious detections and 0 suspicious detections for the domain.
- Fortinet and Sophos were identified among the tier-one vendors flagging the domain.
- The external evaluation marked the domain as blacklisted, while Google Safe Browsing reported no malicious result.
- The homepage contains 176 characters of visible text and no login or sensitive form; its stated content is limited to computer, solar, telephone, address, and contact information.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The available site content identifies the trading presentation as “Informatic & Solaire” and gives a Kinshasa location, but it does not provide a corporate registration reference, licensing information, or other independently verifiable legal-entity details. This is a regulatory and disclosure gap rather than, by itself, proof of fraud. The site's apparent retail/service model does not establish that any regulated financial authorization is required, but the unverified operator identity means the on-page business presentation cannot be treated as proof of the real-world counterparty. The valid transport certificate confirms encrypted delivery only; it does not validate ownership, licensing, or business legitimacy.
- WHOIS records show registration through ENOM, INC. on 2023-02-22, with an age of 3.49 years and expiry on 2027-02-22.
- The archival record reports 0 snapshots, with first seen on 2023-02-24 and last seen on 2025-07-10, covering 3 years tracked.
- The site’s TLS certificate is issued by YR1 at DV validation level and is valid to 2026-10-15T02:13:22+00:00.
- The homepage supplies a Kinshasa address and telephone number but no registration or licensing reference.
What to Verify Next
Before any engagement beyond passive review, an independent party should confirm that Informatic & Solaire operates at the stated Kinshasa location and that the telephone contact reaches the same business. Any applicable local business registration, import authorization, or sector-specific authorization should be checked directly with the relevant authority rather than relying on the website. The external blacklist result should also be resolved through an independent security review of the domain and its current content before credentials, payments, downloads, or other sensitive activity are considered.
- The homepage identifies the location as 10 AV DU PORT, KINSHASA GOMBE, with the reference point ROND POINT FORESCOM.
- The homepage provides telephone number +243 81 509 8237 as a contact channel.
- The supplied content contains no transactional flow, sensitive form, or external password-submission destination.
- The supplied third-party broker dataset reported no matched broker record.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical risk, driven by confirmed external malicious and blacklist contradictions that materially outweigh the site's limited local-business presentation. The website's legitimacy and operator identity remain unverified, and sensitive interaction cannot be considered appropriate on the available evidence.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to infrastructure operated by Contabo in Germany, without a detected CDN or WAF layer; this provides a clear hosting path but no protective intermediary that would mitigate exposure. The hosting arrangement is a technical fact only and does not establish legitimacy.
- Hosted on AS51167, Contabo GmbH, DE.
- The resolved address is 144.91.100.80, with 1 unique IP and 1 likely origin IP.
- No CDN or WAF vendor was detected.
Closing Assessment
Use should be restricted to passive observation until the domain’s security reputation and the operator’s real-world business identity have been independently resolved; credentials, downloads, payments, and other sensitive actions should not be initiated in the interim.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about is-drc.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.
