Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
The website presents itself under the title "HOODRAT — the menace of the Robinhood Chain." This is a meme-styled, crypto-themed brand that trades on the name of a blockchain ecosystem. It is a single-page, recently launched property whose apparent purpose is to promote a token or community project. The domain was registered only a few months ago.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
Contradictory signals are present, and they are decisive. The domain is blacklisted: independent threat-intelligence sources flag it as malicious, and at least one top-tier security vendor is among them. No phishing page, brand impersonation or conflicting legal identity was confirmed, so the concern is reputational and threat-listing based, not an identified lookalike of a named institution. The homepage's meme-token branding, built around a well-known blockchain name, is a pattern commonly used to attract speculative traffic. The domain's youth reinforces this. The operator's identity has not been independently verified, and ownership is opaque. This opacity is an administrative limitation, not an identity contradiction. Behavioral testing showed some mitigating facts: no wallet-drainer behavior, no clipboard manipulation, no hidden forms and no credential posts to external hosts. Network traffic was nonetheless dominated by third-party requests, and repeated console errors occurred during page load. None of this offsets the blacklist. Evidence:
- Homepage: titled "HOODRAT — the menace of the Robinhood Chain," a branding choice that leans on an established ecosystem name.
- External reputation: two security engines rate the domain malicious and three more rate it suspicious, including a top-tier vendor. An independent blacklist listing also exists.
- Domain provenance: registered 2026-07-14 (~0.28 years, about 104 days old).
- Homepage behavior: 27 third-party XHR/fetch calls and 9 third-party POST requests, all to recognized destinations, plus 9 console errors. No wallet-drainer, clipboard-hijack or hidden-form activity was detected.
Regulatory Verification Notes
No licensing, registration or regulatory standing could be tied to this site, and no third-party regulatory source corroborates one. Broker-reputation datasets contain no matching entry. That is neutral context, not a clearance. The site's operator cannot be independently linked to a real-world person or company, and ownership remains opaque. Given the listing described above, there is no basis to treat any on-page claim of legitimacy, community size or backing as credible. Crypto-themed projects that invite deposits, token purchases or wallet interaction may fall under securities, payments or consumer-protection rules. Without a named, accountable entity, no regulator or complaint route can be identified. Evidence:
- Domain registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED; registration runs to 2027-07-14, a one-year term.
- Transport encryption: TLS certificate issued by WE1 (DV, domain validation only), valid to 2026-12-10 with about 44 days remaining. DV confirms only control of the domain, not the operator's identity.
- Third-party broker intelligence: no matching record, so there is no independent regulatory or reputational reference.
What to Verify Next
Verification should start from the threat listing, not from the site's own claims. Check the domain against the current feeds of the vendors that flagged it. Establish whether the listing relates to hosted malicious content or to deceptive promotion. Any "official" status the site claims for the token or project should be checked against channels that do not originate from this domain, such as a project's verified social accounts. Confirm that the contract addresses, if any, match those published by an independent source. Confirm any official support or contact channels through an independent route before any interaction. Evidence:
- Threat-intelligence listings: re-query the flagging sources to confirm whether the detections persist and what artifact they concern.
- Domain registration: confirm the registration date against the project's claimed launch history.
- Homepage claims: cross-check any claimed partnerships, listings or chain affiliations on the independent party's own site.
Summary Verdict
The site sits in a critical-risk posture. Active third-party threat detections and a blacklist listing dominate the assessment. The domain's youth and the absence of any verifiable operator add to that concern. No technical measure on the site is sufficient to restore confidence.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site is fronted by Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335, US) with a valid TLS certificate. All observed addresses are CDN edge nodes, and the origin server was not observable. The infrastructure also applied a bot challenge during testing. This is mitigating context only. A mainstream CDN and a valid certificate are available to any registrant, including malicious ones, and they do not offset the confirmed external detections.
Closing Assessment
The site should be treated as read-only at most, and ideally avoided. Account creation, credential entry, wallet connection and any payment or token transaction should not be attempted while the threat listings stand. Anyone who has already interacted with the site should rotate any reused credentials and review wallet approvals.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about qualification-hoodrat.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.
