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 82%· claude-opus-5

xlc.autos serves no content of its own and simply redirects to Google's genuine dns.google page; the Google branding and form belong to the destination, not this domain, and the generic three-letter name squats no brand — a placeholder/parking-style redirect rather than deception.

First passlooks like phishingtarget: Googleconfidence 92%· claude-haiku-4-5

The domain xlc.autos redirects to dns.google, presenting Google's Public DNS interface with the Google logo and branding. The typosquat domain name (unrelated to 'autos' business) combined with the redirect to impersonate Google's legitimate service, paired with a form that accepts user input, creates a credential-capture infrastructure. The mismatch between the meaningless domain name and the Google service it impersonates indicates deceptive setup.

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