Full analysis
Overview
UFAM is an institutional university portal presenting information about the Universidade Federal do Amazonas, including academic programs, news, events, admissions-related materials, research, public services, transparency resources, and institutional contacts; its apparent purpose is public-sector education and administration rather than commercial activity.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions were observed. The homepage presents a coherent university identity, structured institutional navigation, academic content, transparency resources, and links to established social platforms, with no detected brand-impersonation, phishing, crypto, wallet, or sensitive-form indicators. External reputation checks were clean and recorded no malicious or suspicious detections, while the available evidence also recorded no adverse listing or abuse reports. The real-world operator identity remains likely rather than independently proven, so the positive assessment should be understood as evidence-consistent rather than definitive identity proof.
- Homepage: identifies “Universidade Federal do Amazonas” and provides institutional, academic, transparency, news, event, and contact navigation.
- Homepage behavior: no login form, hidden form, password-external form, wallet connection, wallet-drainer activity, or clipboard-hijacking activity was detected.
- External reputation: malicious and suspicious detections were both recorded as 0, with no Google Safe Browsing malicious result and no reported abuse activity.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site presents itself as a public university portal and includes institutional governance, transparency, accountability, and data-protection sections. It does not present a commercial licensing claim or license number; this is a disclosure consideration for any interaction that extends beyond ordinary university information or services, not evidence of fraudulent activity. Available identity evidence is consistent with the named institution, but independent operator verification is not conclusive.
- Registration record: created 2003-01-06; domain age 23.62 years; registrant listed as FUNDACAO UNIVERSIDADE DO AMAZONAS.
- Hosting record: served from AS1916, “AS1916 - Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa, BR.”
- Transport security: TLS certificate issued by ZeroSSL RSA DV SSL CA 2, validation level DV, valid to 2026-10-03T23:59:59+00:00.
- Homepage: provides “Transparência,” “Ouvidoria,” “Corregedoria,” “Auditoria Interna,” “Governança,” and “Dados Pessoais - LGPD” navigation.
What to Verify Next
Before credential or payment interactions, an organization should independently confirm that the intended service is reached through an official university directory or an independently obtained institutional contact route. Any student, faculty, staff, admissions, or administrative transaction should also be matched to the expected university process and destination, with payment-protection and return or cancellation terms reviewed where applicable.
- Homepage: provides “Fale Conosco,” “Telefones Institucionais,” and “Webmail” service links that can support independent contact confirmation.
- Homepage link structure: includes separate “Portal do Aluno” and “Portal do Professor” destinations alongside institutional content.
- Institutional navigation: includes admissions and selection-process materials, academic programs, public notices, and user-service information.
Summary Verdict
Available evidence supports a high-trust, low-risk posture for an apparently legitimate and established institutional website. The classification is strong, while the connection between the website and its real-world operator should remain described as likely rather than independently proven.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site has no detected CDN edge layer and resolves through two likely origin addresses. This exposes a relatively direct hosting arrangement, but no associated technical contradiction was observed; infrastructure characteristics alone do not establish or disprove institutional legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Routine informational use is appropriate, while independent confirmation of institutional identity and the expected service destination remains proportionate before submitting credentials or making any payment.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about ufam.edu.br 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.
