Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
This website is a single-page portal titled "OpenSea, exchange everything — token trading and NFT marketplace". It sits on a free, platform-issued subdomain of a general-purpose application-hosting service. It presents itself as a crypto-asset exchange and NFT marketplace, so its apparent purpose is to attract visitors who want to trade tokens or NFTs under a well-known marketplace name.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
This is a high-risk assessment. The site is blacklisted: several independent security engines currently flag it as malicious, including three tier-one vendors. A further engine rates it suspicious. These detections are the decisive finding. Hosting protections and a valid certificate cannot offset them. The homepage trades on a household marketplace name but is served from a disposable platform subdomain rather than a domain the brand would be expected to control. The detection pattern and this branding mismatch are consistent with a lookalike or phishing-style deployment, though the evidence does not confirm which brand, if any, is being imitated, and no conflicting legal identities were found. The page analysis that would have tied the site to a real-world entity was unavailable, so the on-page brand claim is unsubstantiated. A separate negative signal is a large body of abuse reports. These attach to the shared platform address the site resolves to, not to this site specifically, and are discounted as shared-infrastructure noise. In the behavioural sandbox, the homepage showed no wallet-connection prompts, wallet-drainer routines, clipboard manipulation, hidden forms, external password forms, or content cloaking. That is a mild mitigating observation only. It does not outweigh the reputation findings, and an interactive flow could change after a visitor engages. Evidence:
- Homepage: the title claims a token-trading and NFT-marketplace identity under a prominent brand name, on a free hosting-platform subdomain.
- Reputation: 8 engines report the site as malicious and 1 as suspicious, including three tier-one vendors.
- Abuse reports: 83 reports exist against the shared platform IP, 216.198.79.67, which is discounted because the reports concern the shared provider address.
- Sandbox: three successful homepage runs found no wallet-connect, drainer, clipboard-hijack, hidden-form or cloaking behaviour.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The captured homepage text did not allow identity or governance to be confirmed. No operator, legal entity, licence or registration can be tied to the site. For a platform offering token trading and an NFT marketplace, that leaves the operator's regulatory standing unestablished. This is a verification gap, and the reputational detections above are the actual driver of the cautionary posture. No broker-reputation entry matches the site, so no third-party broker signal exists either way. The site's technical hygiene is basic: it has a valid certificate and an identifiable network origin. These are baseline attributes that phishing deployments routinely share, and they say nothing about licensing or operator identity. Evidence:
- Homepage: no identifiable operating company, licence or registration reference was established for the exchange or marketplace claims.
- Network: served from AS16509 (AMAZON-02 - Amazon.com, Inc., US) in the US.
- Transport encryption: the TLS certificate is issued by WR1 at DV (domain-validated) level, valid to 2026-11-27. DV confirms control of the domain only, not the operator's identity.
- Brand matching: the hostname closely resembles the hosting platform's own domain, and no match was found to a registered broker or exchange entity.
What to Verify Next
The brand named in the page title should be checked through its official channels. The site's claim to be, or to be affiliated with, that marketplace should be treated as unconfirmed until the brand itself says otherwise. Any link that led to this address should be traced back to its source, such as an email, social post or advertisement, and treated as suspect if it was unsolicited. Any licence or registration claimed for the exchange or marketplace activity should be checked directly with the relevant registry, not through links on the site. Official contact channels should be confirmed through an independent route. Browser-stored credentials or wallet approvals should be reviewed if the site has already been visited. Evidence:
- Homepage title: references a recognised marketplace brand while sitting on a platform-issued subdomain.
- Reputation: the current malicious detections make independent confirmation of origin the first priority.
- Network: the hostname's close resemblance to the hosting platform's own domain warrants exact-address checking.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is high risk. Confirmed adverse reputation from multiple independent security sources outweighs the site's basic technical hygiene. The operator and any link to the brand it invokes remain unverified. The evidence supports treating the site as unsafe for sensitive interaction, not as a neutral unknown.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site is delivered through a trusted content-delivery and protection layer on Amazon-operated address space, and all eight observed addresses are provider edge nodes. The true origin server was not observable. This is a mitigating factor only, and a mild one. The edge-only view prevents independent verification of where the content is hosted and can mask rapid content swaps. The platform's protections do not offset the external threat detections.
Closing Assessment
Do not log in, connect a wallet, sign transactions, enter credentials or make any payment or deposit on this site. Any use should stay at most read-only. If sensitive interaction has already occurred, wallet approvals should be revoked, passwords changed and the relevant service or exchange notified. The site should be reported to the hosting platform and to the brand it invokes.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about openedsea.vercel.app 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.
