Full analysis
Overview
The website is the news and institutional information portal of Universitas Gadjah Mada, presenting university announcements, research, campus activities, events, admissions information, and services for students, staff, alumni, and the public; its apparent purpose is informational and service-oriented rather than commercial.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No phishing, impersonation, blacklist, or other identity contradictions were observed. The site presents consistent Universitas Gadjah Mada institutional content, with no transactional or credential-collection elements detected. One abuse report is associated with the hosting IP, but it has zero confidence and is attributed to the university/college hosting environment; it does not, on its own, indicate malicious activity by the website. The domain’s long registration history, sustained archival continuity, clean evaluated threat-reputation results, and substantial established traffic footprint support an apparently legitimate, low-risk assessment.
- The homepage/news page is titled “Berita - Universitas Gadjah Mada” and contains university news, research, student activities, services, and event information.
- The domain was registered on 1995-07-12 and is 31.11 years old.
- The archive records 2,815 snapshots from 1998-01-10 through 2026-07-31, spanning 29 years.
- External reputation checks recorded 0 malicious and 0 suspicious detections, with no phishing or blacklist hit.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The available evidence is consistent with an established academic institution, but the real-world operator identity is not independently verified by this assessment. The site’s content identifies Universitas Gadjah Mada and provides institutional contact and service information, while the observed business model is public-university publishing rather than a financial or commercial service. No financial licensing claim or registration number is presented; given the informational purpose, this is a limited disclosure and verification consideration, not evidence of a scam. A separate broker-reputation dataset produced no match, which provides contextual reassurance but is not a licensing determination.
- The site’s institutional navigation identifies Universitas Gadjah Mada and links to admissions, academic, research, library, health, safety, and student services.
- The domain registrar is PT Digital Registra Indonesia.
- The site is hosted on AS45705, PPTIK-UGM-AS-ID - PPTIK - UNIVERSITAS GADJAH MADA, ID.
- The transport certificate is OV, issued by DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1, with subject organization Universitas Gadjah Mada, valid to 2027-03-18T23:59:59+00:00.
What to Verify Next
Before any credential or payment interaction arising from a linked university service, independently confirm that the destination remains within the institution’s official web presence and that the relevant service’s terms, privacy notice, and payment arrangements are consistent with the institution. Institutional contact details should be cross-checked through an independently sourced university directory or published offline contact route. Where a specific service involves regulated activity, its applicable authorization should be confirmed with the relevant regulator rather than inferred from the university’s general website.
- The homepage exposes links to student, staff, alumni, email, registration, and online service areas, creating distinct destinations that should be checked individually before sensitive use.
- The analyzed page contains no login form, sensitive form, hidden form, or untrusted form destination.
- The analyzed page is informational and lists contact details and campus services rather than commercial checkout or account-creation functions.
Summary Verdict
The site has a high-trust, low-risk posture and is apparently legitimate and evidence-consistent with an established university information portal. No contradictory signals were observed, although independent confirmation of the real-world operator identity remains appropriate for sensitive interactions.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to a single origin without a detected CDN or WAF, so its infrastructure does not provide the additional traffic-filtering and origin-shielding benefits associated with edge delivery. This is a neutral infrastructure characteristic rather than an indication of maliciousness, particularly because the hosting environment is directly associated with the university.
Closing Assessment
Ordinary informational use is proportionate, while credentials or payments connected to linked services should follow independent institutional-identity, service-terms, and payment-protection checks.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about ugm.ac.id 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.
