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 benignconfidence 95%· claude-opus-5

The 'ebay' match is a substring artifact of 'byth-ebay' — the name is the common phrase 'by the bay'; the page is a stock Shopify 'Opening soon' storefront password gate (Shopify-powered footer, newsletter signup), not an impersonation of any brand.

First passsuspiciousconfidence 65%· claude-haiku-4-5

The domain 'bythebay.store' contains 'ebay' and redirects to a password form, but the page itself is a generic Shopify 'opening soon' template with no eBay branding, logo, or impersonation language. The password form posts to self and lacks offsite links, matching phishing infrastructure patterns, but without visual or textual impersonation of eBay, the deceptive intent is not yet confirmed—it may be a legitimate store owner's pre-launch site or a squat awaiting content.
