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 Belarusian online retail storefront presented as “Интернет-магазин МС,” offering electronics, accessories, household-equipment and vacuum-cleaner parts, electric-scooter components, batteries, and related goods through online ordering, local Minsk-region delivery, and cash or card payment options.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s visible content resembles a conventional local ecommerce store and does not itself show a brand-impersonation signal, conflicting legal identities, or other page-level fraud indicators. However, this benign presentation is materially outweighed by confirmed external threat detections: the domain is blacklisted, with 12 malicious detections reported across evaluated security providers, including Fortinet and Sophos. The combination creates a critical security concern for account access, credential submission, payment, and other sensitive interactions, even though the site’s commercial presentation appears internally coherent. No identity contradiction was observed in the supplied page content, but the real-world operator remains unverified.
- The homepage is classified as an ecommerce store with product listings, contact information, delivery details, and no recorded page-level red flags.
- External reputation checks recorded 12 malicious detections and a confirmed blacklist status; Fortinet and Sophos were among the flagged providers.
- The domain registration record shows creation on 2012-11-12 and an age of 13.78 years.
- Archive records show 133 snapshots spanning 2013–2025, covering 13 tracked years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The available pages describe retail sales rather than a regulated financial or investment service. No licensing authority or license number is identified in the supplied site content, so the site’s commercial registration and the legal entity responsible for sales remain matters for independent verification rather than established identity facts. The registration record names Reliable Software, Ltd as registrar. The site uses valid domain-validated transport encryption, but that technical control confirms encrypted communication only and does not validate the operator or the business.
- The hosting record identifies AS215272, operated by CLOUDVPS-AS – Yedinyye Resheniya LLC, BY.
- The site’s TLS certificate was issued by YR1 at DV validation level and is valid to 2026-10-15T23:21:57+00:00.
- The registration record identifies Reliable Software, Ltd as registrar.
- The homepage provides a login function and checkout workflow, creating sensitive interaction points that require independent business verification.
What to Verify Next
Sensitive interaction should be withheld unless the business entity, physical trading presence, and payment recipient can be confirmed through an independent route. Any claimed registration or consumer-trading authorization should be checked against the relevant Belarusian registry, and contact details should be validated through an offline or independently sourced channel rather than relying solely on the website. If access is necessary for assessment, a read-only posture is appropriate and credentials or payment details should not be submitted.
- The homepage exposes both a customer-login function and an online checkout process.
- The site presents a Minsk physical address, telephone numbers, operating hours, payment information, and delivery notes that can be cross-checked independently.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical risk and the site is not suitable for sensitive interaction on the evidence available. Its coherent retail presentation does not overcome the confirmed external security contradictions, and the operator’s real-world identity is not independently verified.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to one likely origin IP, with no detected CDN or WAF edge layer. This provides no intermediary protective layer to mitigate exposure of the hosting endpoint and should be treated only as an infrastructure characteristic, not as evidence of legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
The appropriate enterprise posture is to suspend login, credential, and financial activity until independent validation of the business and the specific transaction channel has been completed.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about m-c.by 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.
