Appeared in the .rest zone on Saturday, August 29, 2026; by the end of that day the census found redirects elsewhere. Full domain report

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 opinionsuspiciousconfidence 55%· claude-opus-5

Random six-letter name on a cheap .rest TLD at Namecheap that serves no content of its own and simply redirects to www.google.com; all Google branding in the capture belongs to the redirect destination, so there is no impersonation here, but a blanket redirect to Google is a common cloaking/holding pattern for newly registered domains awaiting a payload.

The domain aqxsml.rest is a nonsense name with no brand value that redirects to Google's legitimate homepage. This is a classic brand-squat or redirect abuse: the attacker registered a throwaway domain to funnel traffic to Google (possibly for affiliate commission, traffic monetization, or to obscure the referrer source). The redirect itself is not phishing—no credentials are being captured at aqxsml.rest—but the domain's sole purpose is deceptive redirection abuse.

A model looked at the screenshot and page text and wrote what it thought. It can be wrong, and it is not a finding.
