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 benignconfidence 92%· claude-opus-5

Afternic/GoDaddy nameservers and the page body referencing forsale.godaddy.com/forsale/sterling.now show this is a domain listed for sale (an Akamai error page from the parking service); 'sterling' is a common dictionary word, not a convincing typosquat of Starling, and there is no content or form.

First passlooks like abuseconfidence 85%· claude-haiku-4-5

The domain sterling.now returns an 'Access Denied' error page with no functional content. Combined with the brand-typo signal (sterling≈starling), registration via a watch-list registrar (Spaceship, Inc.), and clustering with 1663 identical pages, this shows the hallmarks of a typosquat campaign. The page itself is currently inaccessible/parked, but the infrastructure pattern indicates intentional brand-confusion setup rather than legitimate use.

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