Risk Breakdown

Valid SSL certificate detected. Issued by Sectigo Limited. Expires 1/20/2027.

An SSL certificate encrypts data between your browser and the website. A valid certificate means the connection is secure.

Domain is 0 days old.

Newly registered domains are a strong indicator of potential fraud.

Website is online and responding.

The website was reachable during our scan. An online status alone does not indicate safety.

Content quality — metadata score 65/100, 2/3 legal pages present.

This website has the essential legal pages, but its metadata quality is weak.

Detected category: entertainment (low risk).

This website was classified as 'entertainment'. The category risk level reflects how frequently this type of website is associated with online fraud.

No community reports filed against this domain.

Our community has not submitted any fraud reports for this domain.

Analysis depth: standard — matched to this site's category.

All core checks (SSL, WHOIS, DNS, content, technology, threat intelligence) ran. Depth is calibrated to the site's category — lower-risk categories use a lighter fraud-analysis pass than crypto/trading/payment sites. This does NOT mean any step was skipped.

AI Analysis

IGN Benelux is a Dutch-language website providing news, reviews, and features on video games, films, and series. It is operated by eMense Group under license from Ziff Davis.

The website content consists of typical entertainment news and reviews, with no suspicious claims or pressure tactics. It clearly states its operational details, including the licensing agreement with Ziff Davis and the operating entity eMense Group, along with contact information. The presence of privacy and cookie policies further supports its legitimacy as a content platform.

  • Standard online safety practices apply.

The name of this website seems to indicate a normal, legitimate business activity.

AI reasoning

The SLD 'ign' and TLD 'com' do not appear to be a misspelling of a known brand, nor do they fit the pattern of fly-by-night gambling/adult sites. The name is too short to clearly imply a specific service.

Scam websites often use recently registered domains. A domain registered just days or weeks ago that claims to be an established business is a common red flag.

This certificate vetted a real organization, not just control of the domain — a stronger trust signal than the free certificates most sites (and scams) use.
