About icann.org

We reviewed icann.org and found a mix of positive and cautionary signals. The site does not currently look like a confirmed scam, but the evidence is not strong enough to treat it as fully established either. The current trust score is 79/100. Key signals include security-provider warnings, a malware or phishing blacklist detection (1), and low third-party review ratings. Public review signals are mixed across third-party sources, so key commercial claims should still be checked independently. Verify key details and recent independent feedback before relying on this site for important actions.

FAQ

Is icann.org safe?

Current analysis does not clearly confirm that icann.org is safe. Signals such as security-provider warnings and a malware or phishing blacklist detection (1) support this assessment. Independent verification is still recommended before relying on it.

Why does icann.org look trustworthy?

Key factors include registrar information (CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.), hosting in US, a domain age of 28 years, and presence in public traffic rankings. The trust score blends security detections, domain and infrastructure signals, on-page behavior patterns, and public review history when available. The overall assessment remains mixed because third-party reputation sources do not point to a fully consistent trust profile.
