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 60%· claude-opus-5-5

The domain hosts no content of its own and simply redirects to the real www.google.com, so the Google title and search form belong to Google itself and are not impersonation. The name 'theworkshop' is generic, though the cheap .skin TLD, DNSPod nameservers and redirect-to-Google pattern (sometimes used to cloak kits from scanners) warrant a recheck later.

First passlooks like abuseconfidence 95%· claude-haiku-4-5

The domain theworkshop.skin is a typosquat/brand-squat with no legitimate purpose: it redirects immediately to www.google.com, masking its true destination behind an unrelated domain name. This redirect-to-legitimate-site pattern is a hallmark of domain abuse used to obscure referral chains, SEO manipulation, or preparation for future phishing campaigns. The .skin TLD combined with 'workshop' and immediate offsite redirect to Google signals deliberate deception in domain registration rather than
