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 phishingtarget: BBCconfidence 88%· claude-opus-5-5

The page is a fake BBC News 'exclusive investigation' with the BBC logo and navigation, promoting an 'OpenAI autonomous trading system' that turned £183 into a 170% return. It collects name, email and phone through a self-posting lead form, the classic fake-news investment-lure shape. It sits on a brand-named .xyz domain with no offsite links.

First passlooks like phishingtarget: BBC News, OpenAIconfidence 95%· claude-haiku-4-5

The domain openainews.xyz impersonates BBC News by reproducing its layout, logo, and branding, while falsely attributing a fake investment scam article (170% returns on £183) to BBC as an 'exclusive investigation.' A form with first_name, last_name, email, and phone fields posts to itself with no offsite links—the sealed-room credential-harvest pattern—designed to capture personal data from visitors deceived by the counterfeit BBC article framing.
