Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
taklufah.com is an Arabic-language real-estate information dashboard presenting daily and historical transaction statistics for Saudi Arabia, including city-level indices, transaction counts, transaction values, land areas, and selected top transactions; its apparent business model is data publication or analytics rather than direct financial services.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site presents a coherent informational dashboard with no observed login form, credential collection, wallet connection, or other sensitive interaction mechanism, and its page-level content contains no evident fraud themes. However, this benign presentation is outweighed by a confirmed blacklist status and multiple external malicious detections, including detections by Fortinet, Kaspersky, and Sophos. The available evidence does not show an identity contradiction or brand impersonation, but the external reputation conflict is sufficiently serious that the domain should be treated as unsuitable for sensitive interaction. No contradictions were observed in the site's stated business content itself; the material contradiction arises from external threat intelligence.
- The homepage presents Saudi real-estate transaction data, including daily counts, values, and areas, rather than a payment, investment, or account-login service.
- External reputation checks recorded 10 malicious detections and 1 suspicious detection, with tier-one threat detections attributed to Fortinet, Kaspersky, and Sophos.
- The domain was confirmed blacklisted by two external sources; the observed reputation result is the decisive adverse signal despite the informational page content.
- Domain provenance records registration on 2020-10-08 with a WHOIS age of 5.87 years; reconciled archival domain age is 8.043805612594113 years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The terms and conditions and contact pages are present, but the available material does not establish the real-world operator behind the site. No license, registration number, or licensing authority is claimed in the available business-model information. That is a regulatory-disclosure gap requiring independent checking, not by itself proof of misconduct. The site's valid transport encryption and identifiable hosting are technical positives, but they do not resolve the adverse external reputation or independently verify the operator.
- The terms and conditions and contact functions are listed in the site's navigation, while the available disclosure state remains unclear.
- The archive records 18 snapshots spanning 2018–2025, with 8 years tracked.
- The site is hosted on AS14061, DIGITALOCEAN-ASN – DigitalOcean, LLC, US.
- TLS uses issuer YE1 with DV validation and is valid to 2026-11-17T03:29:46+00:00.
What to Verify Next
Before any account, credential, payment, data-submission, or other sensitive interaction, the site's operator should be independently identified through an offline or authoritative channel, and any applicable Saudi commercial or data-publication authorization should be confirmed with the relevant official registry. The official contact channels should also be confirmed independently rather than relying solely on the site's own contact page. Until those checks produce satisfactory results, use should remain limited to passive viewing of publicly available material.
- The homepage contains no sensitive form and no login form in the observed page structure.
- The site's navigation exposes separate contact and terms-and-conditions pages for independent review.
- The published material is informational and data-focused, with no observed direct financial-service workflow.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical and clearly unsuitable for sensitive interaction. The site's coherent informational presentation does not overcome the confirmed external threat-reputation contradiction, while the operator remains unverified. The evidence therefore supports a strongly cautionary assessment rather than an endorsement of the site for business or financial use.
Infrastructure Integrity
Cloudflare CDN/WAF protection is present and is a mitigating infrastructure control, but all observed addressing was associated with CDN edge infrastructure and the origin was not observable in this analysis. This reduces direct exposure of the origin but does not establish the legitimacy or safety of the website.
Closing Assessment
Prospective users and institutions should refrain from sensitive interaction unless independent identity, authorization, and contact-channel checks have first been completed and the external threat-reputation issue has been satisfactorily resolved.

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
rule:KF_WHOIS_PRIVATE
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 taklufah.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.
