Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
This is a local Gaelic Athletic Association club website for Kilbride GAA (Cill Bhride CLG) in Wicklow, presenting club news, teams, fixtures, galleries, membership information and community fundraising activities. Its apparent purpose is to support club administration, participation and fundraising rather than provide investment or financial services.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s community-sports presentation contains no apparent brand-impersonation signal or conflicting legal identity, and its content is broadly consistent with a local club. However, that benign presentation is materially outweighed by confirmed external blacklist status and multiple malicious detections. The site also exposed a hidden form during behavioural inspection, creating a sensitive-interaction concern that is not explained by the visible informational content. The long-established registration and continuous historical presence are positive provenance indicators, but they do not neutralize the current reputation contradiction. No contradiction was observed in the form of a verified impersonation or two competing legal identities; the principal concern is the confirmed hostile-reputation signal combined with the hidden form.
- The homepage presents Kilbride GAA, Cill Bhride CLG, club activities and fundraising content, while behavioural inspection detected one hidden form and no password form.
- External reputation assessment recorded 2 malicious detections and a confirmed blacklist designation from two external sources.
- The domain was registered on 2002-10-16 and is 23.86 years old.
- Historical records contain 134 archive snapshots spanning 2003–2026, with 24 years tracked.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The visible business model is community fundraising through memberships, donations, club lotto activity, sponsorships, events and a small shop, rather than investment solicitation. No financial-services licence or registration number is claimed in the supplied site content; this is a disclosure gap requiring verification, not by itself evidence of misconduct. The real-world operator remains independently unverified, so the site’s apparent connection to Kilbride GAA should not be treated as proven solely from its own branding. Registration privacy is an administrative limitation rather than an identity contradiction. Transport security and a long registration history provide technical continuity, but neither establishes legal authority or beneficiary identity.
- The homepage and membership/fundraising sections identify a local GAA club and describe community activities rather than regulated financial products.
- The site’s TLS certificate is DV-validated, issued by Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36, and valid to 2027-02-19.
- Domain registration lists REGISTER S.P.A. as registrar; the registrant and organization fields are privacy-redacted.
- No financial-services licence, registration number or regulator is identified in the supplied site content.
What to Verify Next
Before any payment, donation, lottery purchase or membership transaction, an independent offline route should confirm that Kilbride GAA operates the website and that the payment beneficiary matches the club. Any applicable Irish charity, lottery, fundraising or sporting-organization requirements should be checked with the relevant official registry or governing body. The destination and purpose of every form submission should also be reviewed, particularly where the visible page does not clearly explain the form’s function. Credential submission should not be undertaken, and financial interactions should be deferred until those checks are complete.
- The contact and membership pages provide the primary on-site channels for confirming the club’s stated identity.
- The donation and lottery-purchase form is a relevant transaction surface requiring confirmation of its recipient and processing destination.
- The site is served over a valid DV certificate, but certificate validity does not verify the operator or payment beneficiary.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical trust risk because current external threat and blacklist signals conflict sharply with the site’s otherwise ordinary community-club presentation. The website’s apparent purpose may be legitimate, but its operator and safe handling of sensitive interactions are not sufficiently established for credential, payment or other consequential use.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to a single likely origin address rather than through a detected CDN or WAF edge. Confirmed technical evidence places it on AS30900, operated by WEBWORLD-AS—Sternforth Ltd. trading as WebWorld, Ireland; this identifies the hosting environment but does not validate the website’s ownership or legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
The appropriate near-term posture is passive viewing only, with no login, credential submission or financial transaction until independent organizational and payment-channel confirmation has been completed.

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