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-5-5

The page is a stock hosting.kr/Megazone 'Coming Soon' placeholder whose only form is the registrar's domain-search box, so there is no impersonation content. The name 'costcon.shop' sits one letter off Costco on a retail TLD, but it could equally be a generic 'cost con(sulting/struction)' business, so the squat intent is not decisive.

The page is a legitimate hosting-provider parked/placeholder page registered by Megazone Corp (a real South Korean hosting company). The domain name 'costcon' is a typosquat of 'Costco', but the page itself does not impersonate Costco; it is clearly a 'Coming Soon' placeholder advertising the registrar's own hosting, domain, Google Workspace, and AWS services in Korean. The form present is a domain-search field, not a credential-capture form, and all offsite links route to the legitimate hosting
