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 like abusetarget: Costcoconfidence 65%· claude-opus-5-5

The name is the full 'Costco Wholesale' brand on a .global TLD, registered through IONOS (German ui-dns nameservers) rather than a corporate brand-protection registrar. The page is only the stock IONOS 'Diese Domain ist bereits registriert' placeholder, and its form is IONOS's domain-check box, not a credential form, so this is a brand-squat with no phishing content yet.

First passlooks benignconfidence 95%· claude-haiku-4-5

This is an IONOS registrar placeholder page for a parked domain. The page displays IONOS branding and their standard domain-management interface in German, with links to IONOS services (MyWebsite, Webhosting, vServer). The form posts to self with IONOS syntax tokens, which is consistent with IONOS's own domain control panel, not a phishing attempt. The domain name contains 'costco' but the page makes no attempt to impersonate Costco—it is legitimately registered and hosted by IONOS as a parked/f
