Description of stumbleupon.com
StumbleUpon.com appears to be a long-established social discovery and content-browsing website. Based on the domain name, page title, and screenshot, the site presents curated links and topic-based content such as DIY, design, food, humor, history, and other interest categories, allowing users to explore articles, videos, and posts from around the web.
Available classification data broadly places the domain in social networking, blogs/forums, entertainment, and related community-content categories. The screenshot also references “Mix,” which suggests the site may now function as or alongside a content recommendation platform connected to the former StumbleUpon brand. The domain appears to be operated as a real, active web property rather than a placeholder or parked page.
Safety Assessment for stumbleupon.com
The scan results appear favorable overall. At the time of this scan, 0 out of 91 security engines flagged the domain, the malware scan reported no flagged files, and the checked threat-database and blacklist sources did not indicate phishing or malware-related listings. External links and referenced domains shown in the scan were also not flagged.
Additional context supports a lower-risk assessment: the domain is approximately 24 years old, has a strong traffic presence, uses a valid SSL certificate, and the screenshot shows a functioning content platform with normal navigation and topical browsing rather than deceptive prompts or suspicious download behavior. Based on available scan data, no significant threats were detected at the time of this scan.
Technical Description
The domain is hosted on AWS infrastructure in the us-east-1 region and resolves to an Amazon EC2 IP address. It uses a valid SSL certificate issued by Amazon with an expiry in November 2026. The nameserver set is consistent with AWS DNS hosting. The web technology visible in the scanned URLs suggests a modern JavaScript-based frontend, likely using a framework that serves static chunked assets.
DNSSEC appears to be unsigned, which is not uncommon but means DNS responses may not benefit from that additional layer of authenticity protection. No immediate technical security concerns were evident from the provided scan data, and blacklist checks were clean at the time of review.
