Full analysis
Security Alert
Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
This is a Russian-language informational website for a Moscow-based training center offering courses for tour guides and interpreter-guides, professional development, excursions, workshops, and course applications; its apparent business model is education and related training services.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The website’s content is consistent with an educational institution and the captured pages show no login form, hidden sensitive form, wallet connection, or other obvious phishing mechanism. However, this benign presentation is outweighed by confirmed external threat-reputation contradictions: the domain is recorded as blacklisted, with multiple malicious detections, including a Tier-1 security-provider detection. Accordingly, the site should be treated as unsuitable for credential submission, account login, payment, or other sensitive interaction until the reputation issue is independently resolved. The historical record does not indicate suspicious repurposing, but that positive provenance signal does not neutralize the current external detections.
- External reputation assessment recorded 8 malicious detections and 0 suspicious detections; blacklist status was confirmed.
- Domain registration record: created 2020-06-16T14:08:52Z, approximately 6.18 years old, with RU-CENTER-RU as registrar.
- Web-archive record: 157 snapshots spanning 2009–2026, covering 18 tracked years; no suspicious repurpose was identified.
- The homepage capture showed no login form, hidden form, wallet connection, or password-external form.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The homepage and organizational pages identify НОЧУ ДПО “Центр подготовки туристических кадров” and present a Moscow address, telephone numbers, course subjects, teaching information, pricing, and application-related sections. This establishes what the site claims to represent, but the real-world operator identity remains unverified. No license authority or license number is claimed in the supplied site analysis, creating a regulatory-disclosure gap that requires confirmation rather than constituting a standalone finding of fraud. The external broker-reputation dataset contained no matching record, which is neutral context and not a licensing determination.
- The homepage identifies НОЧУ ДПО “Центр подготовки туристических кадров” and describes guide and interpreter-guide training.
- The site’s contact and address pages publish “Москва, ул. Киевская 22” and telephone numbers 8-499-249-41-76 and 8-499-249-41-86.
- Hosting infrastructure: AS43882, SOTLINE-AS – SOT LINE Limited Company, RU.
- TLS certificate: issued by YR2, domain validation (DV), valid to 2026-11-09T07:03:10+00:00.
What to Verify Next
The organization’s legal existence and any authorization required for its educational activities should be confirmed through the relevant official registry or an independently obtained institutional record. Contact channels should be validated through an offline or independently sourced route, and any course-payment, enrollment, or refund terms should be reviewed before funds or personal information are provided. Until those checks are complete, interaction should remain limited to passive review of publicly available information.
- The organizational, contact, and address pages provide details suitable for independent confirmation.
- The site contains separate sections for “Стоимость,” “Курсы,” “Оставить заявку,” and “Вопросы и ответы,” which should be reviewed together before enrollment.
- The page capture identifies the site creation credit as ITB-company, 2012, providing an additional provenance detail for independent checking.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical, with a confirmed external reputation contradiction and insufficient independent identity assurance for sensitive engagement. The site may present a genuine educational service, but the available evidence does not support treating it as trustworthy for credentials, payments, or other consequential interactions.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to a single apparent origin IP, 79.133.175.44, in Russia, hosted by SOTLINE-AS – SOT LINE Limited Company, RU, on AS43882; no CDN or WAF vendor was detected. Valid DV TLS provides transport encryption, but the infrastructure offers no mitigating edge-protection signal capable of offsetting the external reputation concern.
Closing Assessment
Prospective users should defer sensitive interaction until the organization, authorization status, and transaction terms have been independently confirmed; passive reading is the proportionate interim use.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about kievskaya22.ru 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.
