What TrustSniffer found on qv.co.ke

Security Alert: Fortinet, Google, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution. QV Interiors is a Kenyan interior design and fabrication website presenting residential, office, and commercial design services, portfolio work, bespoke kitchens, wardrobes, cabinets, and office fit-outs, with an apparent business model based on client projects, fabrication contracts, and consultations. Scam/Impersonation Risk: The site presents a coherent small-business portfolio and the examined homepage showed no login form, payment flow, investment solicitation, or obvious impersonation language.

However, those benign page characteristics are outweighed by confirmed external threat detections: the domain is blacklisted across multiple sources, including a malicious Safe Browsing result and eleven malicious detections in a broader scan. The site also exhibited suspicious inline scripts and suspicious network behavior during technical observation. No separate brand impersonation or conflicting legal-entity names were identified, but the confirmed blacklist status creates a material risk for sensitive interaction, regardless of the site's interior-design presentation.

Evidence: - The homepage presents QV Interiors as an interior-design and fabrication business and contains no login or sensitive-input form.

Why this matters

A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about qv.co.ke 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.
