Signals, not verdicts. A domain appears here because heuristics matched its name, its infrastructure or the page it served on its first day. Where a model has looked at it, that is shown as an opinion with a confidence, not as a finding. Nothing on this page says a site is malicious. Read the evidence and decide for yourself.

Model opinions

Second opinionlooks like abusetarget: American Expressconfidence 86%· claude-opus-5-5

The name pairs the distinctive 'americanexpress' brand with the security lure 'securitys' (misspelled) on a .help TLD, using Namecheap's free dnsowl DNS. That is not how American Express registers domains, so it is a brand-squat likely staged for phishing. The page currently serves only a bare 404 (HTTP 444) with no form or content, so there is no live phish yet.

First passlooks like abuseconfidence 75%· claude-haiku-4-5

Domain is a clear American Express typosquat (americanexpress-securitys.help with added 's' and non-standard TLD) using free DNS (dnsowl.com) and lure words ('security'), but currently serves only a 404 page with no deceptive content deployed yet. The infrastructure and naming pattern indicate preparation for phishing, but the absence of actual impersonation content makes this a brand squat rather than active phishing.
