Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
Radio Campus Rouen is an official-looking local student and community radio website presenting podcasts, programming schedules, articles, live and recorded broadcasts, advertiser services, and contact information; its apparent operating model is a volunteer-run association supported by advertising, partnerships, events, and related services rather than user investment.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s informational presentation is internally consistent with a community radio service, and the page review found no login form, payment collection, investment solicitation, or apparent brand-impersonation mechanism. However, this benign surface conflicts with convergent external threat intelligence: the domain has been classified as malicious by multiple security services and is subject to confirmed blacklist findings from more than one source. This is a material security contradiction and takes precedence over the site’s apparent purpose. No separate identity contradiction was identified across the supplied content, but the available evidence does not support treating the domain as safe for sensitive interaction.
- The homepage identifies Radio Campus Rouen as a 100% volunteer Rouen-based student radio and presents podcasts, programming, broadcasts, and local editorial content.
- The contact and advertiser pages describe ordinary radio contact and commercial advertising services rather than investment or financial products.
- External reputation telemetry records 17 malicious detections and 1 suspicious detection from 23 evaluated results; Fortinet and Sophos were among the flagged security vendors.
- The domain was registered on 2016-01-11 and is recorded as 10.61 years old; archived coverage spans 2016-06-17 to 2026-06-10, with 11 years tracked.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site appears to describe an association-style community radio operation, but the supplied material does not establish a regulated financial or otherwise licensed status. The available advertiser and contact content should therefore be treated as commercial and identity information requiring independent confirmation rather than as proof of legal standing. The independent broker-context dataset produced no match, which provides no affirmative regulatory endorsement. The apparent connection to the named radio identity is likely but not independently verified.
- The “Régie Publicitaire,” “Nos Offres,” and contact pages describe advertising, media-education, external broadcasting, internships, and related services.
- No license claim, licensing authority, or license number is recorded in the supplied site analysis.
- The site’s domain registrar is Hostinger operations UAB.
- The site is hosted on AS47583 (AS-HOSTINGER - Hostinger International Limited, CY); its TLS certificate is issued by YE2 with DV validation and is valid to 2026-10-12.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive interaction, an institution should confirm the radio association and its current contact details through an independently sourced municipal, educational, association, or broadcaster record, rather than relying solely on the website. Any proposed commercial engagement should be documented through independently confirmed contact channels and conventional contractual and payment-protection controls. The domain and hosting environment should also be reviewed by the organization’s security team before it is allowlisted or accessed from privileged systems.
- The contact page provides a telephone contact and an administrative email channel for independent comparison against external records.
- The homepage capture completed successfully and contained no login form, hidden sensitive form, or password-submission destination.
- The site’s business-model analysis classifies the visible activity as informational community broadcasting with advertising services, not financial intermediation.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical and unsuitable for sensitive interaction. Although the website presents a coherent community-radio purpose, the external security contradictions are sufficiently material that apparent legitimacy cannot be relied upon for credential, administrative, or financial decisions.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves to a single likely origin address hosted by Hostinger, with no CDN detected in the supplied infrastructure assessment. The valid DV TLS certificate provides transport encryption, but it does not establish operator legitimacy or offset the external reputation findings.
Closing Assessment
Access should be limited to passive viewing from a controlled environment, with credentials, privileged access, downloads, and financial or administrative engagement withheld unless independent verification and a security review produce a clear basis for proceeding.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about radiocampusrouen.fr 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.
