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.

Second opinionlooks benignconfidence 92%· claude-opus-5

citedby.global redirects to the operator's own product site citedby.mxw-it.com, a German 'AI visibility audit' SaaS (CitedBy) with lead-capture form asking for company name, industry, city and email; ChatGPT/Perplexity are named descriptively as the AI engines queried, not impersonated, and there is no credential or payment capture.

First passlooks like a scamconfidence 85%· claude-haiku-4-5

CitedBy is a lead-generation scam masquerading as an 'AI visibility audit' service. It collects business contact details (company name, industry, location, website, email) under false pretenses—claiming to audit ChatGPT recommendations—but the form has no legitimate audit mechanism; it is a data harvesting tool. The redirect chain (citedby.global → citedby.mxw-it.com) and use of generic cheap nameservers (ui-dns.*) suggest coordinated fraud infrastructure, not a legitimate SaaS product.

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