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.

The domain citedby.info redirects to citedby.mxw-it.com to obscure the operator; the service claims to 'audit' whether ChatGPT recommends your business, but this is a pretext to harvest business contact data for sales outreach or resale. No impersonation of a specific brand, but
