Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
What appears to be a local Winnipeg tailoring and alterations website, Made By Yana presents walk-in and emergency garment repairs, appointments, bespoke tailoring, bridal and graduation-dress alterations, uniform services, a physical business location, and ordinary phone, email, and booking channels for paid in-person services.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s visible content is consistent with a conventional local tailoring business and the page-level review found no login form, sensitive form, cryptocurrency functionality, or explicit brand-impersonation indicators. However, this benign presentation is materially contradicted by external security telemetry recording six malicious detections and a confirmed blacklist status across two external sources. Runtime inspection also identified suspicious inline scripts, unapproved outbound posts, substantial document changes after interaction, and abnormal network activity. These signals create a substantial risk that the website or its delivery environment could expose visitors to harmful or unauthorized activity, even though the visible business content itself contains no obvious scam language. No separate identity contradiction between legal-entity names was observed.
- The homepage and service pages describe tailoring, alterations, appointments, and local shop services without financial, cryptocurrency, or credential-collection features.
- Behavioral inspection recorded 3 suspicious inline scripts, 2 non-whitelisted external posts, and a maximum post-interaction DOM difference of 1823.
- External reputation telemetry recorded 6 malicious detections and a confirmed blacklist status; a Fortinet detection was also recorded.
- The site’s forms analysis identified 1 contact form and an appointment-booking link, with no sensitive form or login form detected.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The About, Contact, and related business pages present the operating name “Made By Yana,” a Winnipeg location, telephone contact, service descriptions, and booking arrangements, but independent connection of the website to a real-world operator remains unverified. No licensing or registration claim was identified on the reviewed pages; for a tailoring business this is a disclosure and verification matter rather than, by itself, evidence of a scam. The available third-party broker dataset contained no matching broker record and provides no regulatory conclusion. The domain is registered through Netfirms, LTD, and the site uses a valid domain-validated TLS certificate; these are infrastructure and administrative facts, not proof of operator identity or safety.
- Domain registration: 2018-07-02T21:35:10Z; age 8.14 years; registrar Netfirms, LTD; expiration 2027-07-02T21:35:10Z.
- Hosting: AS13335, CLOUDFLARENET – Cloudflare, Inc., US.
- TLS certificate: issuer WE1; validation level DV; valid to 2026-11-03T01:26:16+00:00.
- The reviewed About and Contact pages provide a business name, physical address, telephone number, and service information, while no license number or licensing authority is stated.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive interaction, an independent party should confirm that the physical shop, telephone contact, and appointment arrangements correspond to a genuine operating business, using an offline or independently sourced contact route rather than relying solely on the website. Any applicable local business registration or sector-specific requirement should be checked directly with the relevant authority. Credentials, payment details, or other sensitive information should not be submitted while the external security detections remain unresolved.
- The Contact page supplies the stated physical location and telephone channel for independent confirmation.
- The booking workflow is exposed as an appointment link rather than a credential-login process.
- The reviewed pages identify the business model as paid tailoring, alteration, and uniform services rather than a regulated financial activity.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical and unsuitable for sensitive interaction. Although the site presents coherent local-business content, the confirmed external security contradictions and unresolved identity verification outweigh the reassuring appearance of the pages. Ordinary visual browsing should not be treated as evidence that login, credential, payment, or other sensitive activity is safe.
Infrastructure Integrity
Cloudflare CDN/WAF protection provides a mitigating layer against direct exposure of the underlying service, but protective delivery infrastructure cannot establish legitimacy or offset the external security findings. The observed infrastructure was edge-mediated, so infrastructure characteristics should not be treated as independent confirmation of the operator.
Closing Assessment
Engagement should remain limited to non-sensitive observation until the blacklist status, malicious detections, and business identity have been independently resolved through trusted channels.

What the analysis found
2 findings contributed to this verdict, raised by registration and ownership, analysis engine, behaviour in a sandbox, external reputation.

- The registration record withholds contact details for the operator.Registration and ownership
rule:KF_WHOIS_HIDDEN - The public registration record for this domain is incomplete.Registration and ownership
rule:KF_WHOIS_INCOMPLETE - 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

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