The page may look different now._ ## Key findings - Automated classification: Sensitive Interaction Risk. - Domain age: 3 to 10 years (registration continuity). - Public web-archive history exists since 2009. - At least one reputation service TrustSniffer consulted had flagged this domain at assessment time. ## Full analysis ### Overview The website is an academic journal portal for the Journal of Veterinary and Applied Sciences, presenting volumes, issues, research-article titles, authors, page ranges, and publisher or contact information for visitors seeking veterinary and applied-science publications. ### Scam/Impersonation Risk The site's visible content is informational and academic in character: the reviewed volume-listing page showed no payment flow, credential form, financial solicitation, login mechanism, wallet interaction, or obvious impersonation claim. That benign presentation is materially outweighed by confirmed external blacklist status and multiple malicious detections. Separate abuse reporting also concerns a shared data-centre hosting IP; because the attribution is to shared infrastructure, it is not conclusive proof that the journal site generated those reports, but it remains a relevant risk signal. The available evidence therefore contains a **confirmed reputational contradiction**, even though no direct page-level phishing or brand-impersonation indicator was identified. Evidence: - The homepage and journal-volume page present article metadata, authors, issue information, and contact or publisher credits, with no sensitive forms or financial solicitation detected. - External reputation assessment recorded 8 malicious detections and 1 suspicious detection, with blacklist status confirmed by two sources. - The hosting-IP reputation record contains 708 abuse reports for 35.157.26.135; the subject is identified as shared infrastructure operated for data-centre/web-hosting use. ### Regulatory Verification Notes The site identifies the publication as associated with the University of Nigeria and displays ISSN and e-ISSN identifiers, while also naming RockSystems Global Services Ltd. as the technical service provider. These on-site references support an apparent academic publishing purpose but do not independently verify the real-world operator or institutional relationship. No licensing or registration number is claimed for the journal business, so any applicable publishing, institutional, or payment-related status remains a verification matter rather than evidence of wrongdoing. The domain itself is long-established and registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com; its transport encryption is valid, but the certificate uses domain validation only. The low external page-authority signal provides additional context that the site has limited independently established web prominence, without constituting a regulatory conclusion. Evidence: - WHOIS records show registration on 2018-08-20, an age of 8 years, and registration through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. - Historical records show coverage from 2009-03-17 through 2026-05-15, spanning 18 years tracked; no suspicious repurposing or semantic category change was identified in the reconciled archive assessment. - The homepage displays “University of Nigeria,” ISSN 2315-6856, e-ISSN 2636-5553, Terms of use, Privacy policy, Contact, and Editorial Board references. - The site is served from AS16509, Amazon.com, Inc.; its TLS certificate is issued by YE1, uses DV validation, and is valid to 2026-11-01. ### What to Verify Next Before any sensitive interaction, an institution considering engagement should independently confirm the journal's affiliation with the University of Nigeria through an official institutional channel and validate the displayed ISSN identifiers against an authoritative serials registry. The editorial board, publication history, submission process, and any fee request should be checked against independently sourced academic records. Contact details should be confirmed through an offline or independently obtained institutional route, and any request for credentials, payment, or document submission should be assessed separately rather than inferred from the site's academic presentation. Evidence: - The site provides separate navigation for About us, Editorial Board, Author's instruction, Contact, Terms of use, and Privacy policy pages. - The reviewed page contains a sustained list of journal volumes from Volume 1 through Volume 16 and identifies individual articles, authors, and page ranges. - No payment, login, password, wallet, or externally submitted sensitive form was observed during the reviewed page behavior. ### Summary Verdict The overall posture is **critical and unsuitable for sensitive interaction**. The site's academic presentation and some conventional technical signals do not resolve the independently recorded reputation contradiction or the unverified connection between the website and a real-world institutional operator. ### Infrastructure Integrity The website is protected by AWS CDN/WAF infrastructure and resolves through two observed edge addresses on AS16509; no origin candidate was visible in the analysis. This provides a meaningful exposure-mitigation layer, but it is a protective hosting characteristic rather than evidence that the site itself is legitimate. ### Closing Assessment The appropriate operating posture is read-only observation only; login, credential submission, financial activity, and document or payment exchanges should not proceed unless the site and its institutional relationship are independently validated through trusted channels. _Written analysis generated 2026-08-20 by the TrustSniffer Analysis Engine from the evidence in this report._ ## What the analysis found 2 findings contributed to this verdict, raised by registration and ownership, analysis engine, external reputation. ### 01 Governance Risk - Registration details are held behind a privacy service, so no operator is named publicly. This is common and legal, and it also means there is nobody to check. (Registration and ownership `rule:KF_WHOIS_PRIVATE`) ### 02 Sensitive Interaction Risk - The analysis matched a pattern TrustSniffer treats as a direct threat to a visitor. (Analysis engine `signal:direct_threat`) - An external threat feed lists this domain: either Google Safe Browsing marked it malicious, or a significant number of malware engines flagged it. (External reputation `rule:EXT_BLACKLIST_CRITICAL`) ### Signals weighed against the site - AbuseIPDB: 708 reports on hosting IP 35.157.26.135 (A100 ROW GmbH, Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit), 22% confidence. The reports are attributed to shared infrastructure, not specifically to this website. ## Identity verification | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Status | UNVERIFIED | | Identity score | 30/100 | | Identity verification confidence | 25% | - No on-site identity signals detected _Identity verification measures whether the site can be independently connected to a real-world brand or person. It is separate from the classification confidence._ ## What TrustSniffer observed First-party facts recorded during the assessment of jvasonline.com. - The request stayed on jvasonline.com.

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. ## Related on TrustSniffer - [22northsalon.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/22northsalon.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [228199.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/228199.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [203krehab.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/203krehab.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [2009rc.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/2009rc.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [1stofallconsulting.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/1stofallconsulting.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [1stlearntodrive.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/1stlearntodrive.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [1obmen.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/1obmen.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [alliance-prom.ru risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/alliance-prom.ru) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [ralukaofficial.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/ralukaofficial.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [insstagrams.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/insstagrams.com) (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [Every website and wallet TrustSniffer has assessed](https://trustsniffer.com/directory) - [Other domains assessed as high-risk or phishing](https://trustsniffer.com/directory/phishing-domains) - [Check another website](https://trustsniffer.com/web-intelligence) - [Check a crypto wallet address](https://trustsniffer.com/on-chain-risk) - [The TrustSniffer Risk Index](https://trustsniffer.com/stats) ## Guides - [Stablecoin Freezes, Sep 28, 2026: 24 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-09-28) - [Stablecoin Freezes, Sep 27, 2026: 3 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-09-27) - [How We See USDT Wallet Freezes Coming](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/how-trustsniffer-sees-usdt-wallet-freezes-coming) --- *Source: [TrustSniffer](https://trustsniffer.com/report/jvasonline.com) — independent automated trust & fraud analysis.
