Description of abc25.com
abc25.com appears to be the website for a regional news and media outlet associated with the Tri-State Homepage / WEHT-WTVW branding shown in the screenshot. The homepage layout suggests a local television news operation covering breaking news, weather, sports, community updates, and live broadcasts for the Evansville-area region.
Based on the domain age, registrar, and the visible site branding, the domain appears to be operated as part of an established media presence rather than a newly created standalone site. The available categorization data also aligns with this, classifying the site in news/media and technology-related contexts.
Safety Assessment for abc25.com
Based on available scan data, no threats were detected at the time of this scan by 0 out of 92 security engines, and the domain was not listed by the checked malware and phishing blacklist databases. The site also appears to belong to a long-established domain that has been registered for many years, which may reduce the likelihood of opportunistic abuse compared with newly created domains.
One automated malware scan did mark the homepage path as suspicious, but this appears to be a low-confidence heuristic finding rather than a confirmed malware identification, especially since no malware family was named and no other engines corroborated it. The screenshot shows what appears to be a functioning local news website, and the linked resources include bot-challenge and JavaScript instruction pages that may be related to anti-bot protection rather than malicious behavior.
Overall, the available evidence leans benign, though the heuristic flag and missing or invalid SSL configuration are worth noting as minor caution points. Based on available scan data, no significant threats were detected at the time of this scan.
Technical Description
The domain is very old, created in 1996, and uses a corporate registrar with CSC-managed nameservers, which is commonly seen with established organizations. Hosting appears to be on AWS EC2 in Ashburn, Virginia. DNSSEC is unsigned, which is not unusual but means DNS responses do not appear to benefit from DNSSEC validation.
A notable technical concern is that SSL/TLS appears invalid or missing, with the available certificate information showing an old expiry date. That may indicate the scan reached a non-standard endpoint, an HTTP-only configuration, or a certificate deployment issue at the time of this scan. The page also references anti-bot or challenge-related resources, which may explain some scanning anomalies.
