Full analysis
Security Alert
Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
This website is a Georgian-language local television and radio broadcaster presenting program schedules, live broadcasting, audit and compliance reports, contact information, and a newsletter subscription, with an apparent informational and media-distribution business model rather than direct online financial services.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s visible content is consistent with an informational broadcaster: page analysis found program listings, contact details, audit material, a live-broadcast option, and no login or sensitive-data form. However, this benign presentation is materially outweighed by confirmed external reputation contradictions, including multiple malicious detections, a suspicious detection, and a confirmed blacklist hit. The available evidence does not establish that the site is impersonating a named brand or operating a phishing form, but the external detections create a clear risk for credentials, payments, downloads, or other sensitive interaction.
- External reputation assessment: 10 malicious detections and 1 suspicious detection across 16 evaluations; a Tier-1 security provider also flagged the domain.
- External reputation assessment: confirmed blacklist status; general web-safety checking was not malicious.
- Homepage: Georgian-language broadcaster content with program schedules, a live option, newsletter subscription, and no observed login or sensitive form.
- Domain registration record: registered 2013-10-02, approximately 12.89 years old.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site presents an “About” area, 2023 audit conclusions, broadcaster-law reports referencing Articles 70 and 61, a compliance declaration, and a contact page. These materials provide substantive operational context, but the available evidence does not independently verify the operator’s real-world identity or regulated status, and no license number or licensing authority is claimed on the site. The legal and compliance material should therefore be treated as self-published information rather than confirmation of authorization. The site’s transport and hosting records are technically established, but those controls do not validate the organization behind the service.
- Registration record: registrar listed as registrator.ge; creation date 2013-10-02T00:00:00Z and expiration date 2026-10-03T00:00:00Z.
- Hosting record: served from AS13335, CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US.
- TLS record: DV certificate issued by WE1, valid through 2026-10-18T01:48:01+00:00.
- Legal and compliance pages: audit conclusion for 2023, broadcaster-law reports for 2023 and 2025, and a compliance declaration are presented.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive interaction, an independent check should confirm the broadcaster’s legal entity and authorization with the relevant Georgian corporate and media-regulatory registers. Contact details should be confirmed through an independently sourced route rather than relying solely on the website. Any file, browser prompt, subscription request, or account-related workflow should be assessed in an isolated environment until the external reputation contradiction is resolved.
- Legal and compliance pages: use the stated audit and broadcaster-law materials as references for independent registry and authorization checks.
- Contact page: independently validate the listed organization and contact channels before exchanging information.
- Homepage and newsletter area: review any subscription or download workflow without submitting credentials or payment information.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical trust risk. Although the site presents a coherent media-oriented service and contains substantive broadcaster material, confirmed external threat detections and blacklist status prevent the available evidence from supporting safe sensitive interaction or independent identity confidence.
Infrastructure Integrity
The website is protected by Cloudflare CDN/WAF infrastructure, and all observed addresses were Cloudflare edge endpoints, including 104.21.62.189, 172.67.138.112, 2606:4700:3034::ac43:8a70, and 2606:4700:3037::6815:3ebd; no origin server address was observable. This provides a mitigating layer against direct exposure, but CDN protection is not evidence of operator legitimacy and cannot offset the external reputation findings.
Closing Assessment
Prospective users should restrict activity to passive viewing and avoid account, credential, payment, download, or other sensitive interaction until independent identity, authorization, and contact-channel checks have been completed and the external warnings have been resolved.

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