Full analysis
Security Alert
Kaspersky flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
mrpalace.com presents “MRPortfolio,” a personal portfolio site showcasing project work and corporate clients including Sony, HSBC, Langham, Ocean Park, and Prudential. Its apparent purpose is informational: to display professional experience and past work rather than provide payment, investment, or other transactional services.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site presents a low-interaction portfolio experience, and the captured pages contain no login, payment, investment, or wallet-connect flow. However, this benign page presentation is outweighed by a confirmed blacklist status and multiple external malicious detections, including a Tier-1 security-vendor detection. These are direct contradiction signals for trust assessment; no brand-impersonation indicators were identified in the page analysis, but the external reputation evidence independently supports a high-risk posture for sensitive interaction. The homepage also exposes PHP deprecation diagnostics, which indicates weak operational hygiene but is not, by itself, evidence of malicious behavior.
- External reputation telemetry recorded 7 malicious detections, 0 suspicious detections, and a confirmed blacklist status from 2 external sources; Kaspersky was among the flagged vendors.
- The homepage exposed PHP deprecation warnings referencing Drupal modules and server filesystem paths.
- Behavioral testing recorded 2 successful runs with 0 hidden forms, 0 password-external forms, 0 wallet-connect runs, 0 wallet-drainer runs, and 0 clipboard-write events.
- Domain registration telemetry: registered 2007-10-26 (~18.83 years old) through NAMECHEAP INC; archival records span 2008-09-22 to 2026-05-12, covering 19 years tracked.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The available site content describes a personal portfolio and does not present a regulated financial-service proposition. No licensing claim or license number is supplied, and the available evidence does not independently verify the real-world operator behind the site. This is a verification and disclosure limitation rather than a standalone scam determination. The long registration history and valid transport encryption are positive technical indicators, but they do not offset the external security contradiction or establish operator legitimacy.
- The site’s business-model analysis classified the homepage as a personal or portfolio presentation with no payment or investment flows detected.
- Technical hosting telemetry identifies AS13335 operated by CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US.
- The site’s TLS certificate is issued by WE1 at DV validation level and is valid to 2026-10-18 19:59:36 UTC.
- Registration records identify NAMECHEAP INC as registrar, with expiration on 2028-10-26 06:15:31 UTC.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive engagement, independently obtain and reconcile the operator’s legal name, professional affiliation, and contact details through an offline or otherwise trusted channel rather than relying solely on the site. If the site is intended to support any activity beyond portfolio presentation, confirm the applicable authorization directly with the relevant regulator or professional registry. A fresh reputation and malware assessment should also be obtained before permitting the domain in enterprise workflows or associating it with trusted credentials.
- The About and Contact navigation provides the principal site-level identity points for independent reconciliation.
- The captured homepage has no sensitive form, payment flow, or investment mechanism to validate as part of ordinary site use.
- The external security telemetry contains a confirmed blacklist status requiring independent resolution before sensitive trust is granted.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical trust risk and is unsuitable for login, credential submission, or financial interaction. The site’s informational appearance and established technical footprint do not overcome the confirmed external contradiction, while the operator’s real-world identity remains unverified.
Infrastructure Integrity
Cloudflare’s CDN and WAF protect the site behind observed edge infrastructure, with all observed addresses associated with AS13335 and no origin candidate identified in the analysis. This reduces direct exposure of the hosting environment, but it is only a mitigating infrastructure characteristic and does not demonstrate legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
The appropriate enterprise treatment is read-only observation pending independent resolution of the external security findings and confirmation of the responsible operator.

What the analysis found
2 findings contributed to this verdict, raised by registration and ownership, analysis engine, external reputation.
01 Governance Risk
- The registration record withholds contact details for the operator.Registration and ownership
rule:KF_WHOIS_HIDDEN - 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

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

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