Full analysis
Security Alert
Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
This website presents itself as the online presence of PN Foundation School, an educational institution offering visitors information about its mission, leadership, academics, facilities, gallery, admissions-related registration, and transport arrangements rather than online financial services.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site has a material external security contradiction. Multiple external threat-intelligence detections identify the domain as malicious, and the domain is listed on confirmed blacklists, including detections associated with Kaspersky and Sophos. This conflicts with the benign, official-looking school presentation and means the visible content cannot be treated as sufficient evidence of safety. No separate brand-impersonation or identity contradiction was established in the supplied page analysis, and the page itself contained no obvious phishing form or financial solicitation; those benign page characteristics do not override the confirmed external reputation findings. The published contact address `[email protected]` is also a contact-channel integrity anomaly because it uses a consumer mailbox for an institutional site, although this is not, by itself, proof of fraud.
- External scanning recorded 14 malicious detections, with Kaspersky and Sophos identified among the flagged vendors; the domain was also marked on an external blacklist.
- The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on 2018-11-15 and is approximately 7.77 years old.
- Historical records span 2021-09-16 through 2026-03-07, representing 6 years tracked.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site’s content identifies PN Foundation School and describes it as operating under the P N Educational & Welfare Society, with named chairman and director messages and a “Mandatory Public Disclosure” section. Those on-site statements provide context but do not independently verify the real-world operator or establish accreditation, institutional registration, or licensing. The supplied evidence does not establish a verified regulatory status or registration number. The site is therefore unsuitable for reliance on its institutional claims without independent confirmation, particularly given the adverse external security signals. No broker identity match was identified in the available third-party broker dataset; that result is contextual only and does not validate the school.
- The homepage identifies PN Foundation School and refers to the P N Educational & Welfare Society, while navigation includes “Mandatory Public Disclosure.”
- The site’s hosting resolves to AS47583, AS-HOSTINGER, Hostinger International Limited, CY.
- The transport layer uses a DV TLS certificate issued by YE2, valid to 2026-10-16T08:18:50+00:00.
What to Verify Next
An institution claiming to operate a school should be matched independently to the relevant education-authority, accreditation, or statutory registration records, using the legal entity name shown in official records rather than relying solely on the website. The school’s physical presence, admissions office, and published contact channels should be confirmed through an independently sourced telephone number or offline institutional record. Until the external security classification is resolved and the operator is independently confirmed, account access, credential submission, downloads, and payment activity should not be undertaken.
- The homepage provides admissions-related registration and transport links but was observed without payment forms or sensitive-input forms.
- The contact and leadership content supplies institutional claims that can be compared against independently sourced education records.
- The page analysis identified no login form, hidden sensitive form, wallet connection, or external password-submission destination.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical risk. The polished educational presentation is outweighed by confirmed external malicious detections and blacklist status, while the real-world identity remains unverified. The site should not be treated as a trusted destination for sensitive interaction.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site is hosted directly on Hostinger infrastructure associated with AS47583 in Ukraine, with no detected CDN edge layer and likely origin infrastructure exposed through the resolved hosting arrangement. A valid DV TLS certificate provides transport encryption, but this is only a mitigating technical control and does not establish operator legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Security teams should block or closely restrict sensitive interaction with the domain pending independent resolution of the external detections and confirmation of the institution through authoritative, offline channels.

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 pnfoundationschool.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.
