Questions about en.wikipedia.org

Is en.wikipedia.org safe?
No. MalwareAnalyzer scanned en.wikipedia.org on 12 Aug 2026 and returned a suspicious verdict with a score of 27 out of 100. Treat it as hostile until it is re-checked.
What malware is associated with en.wikipedia.org?
1 analysed samples communicate with this URL, including Injected.
How was en.wikipedia.org checked?
A static pass resolved DNS, captured TLS and headers and followed the redirect chain, and where the standard tier allows, a headless browser rendered the page and recorded every request. Egress is SSRF-locked. Signatures that matched only page text are weighted far below one that matched a served file, because a page documenting malware matches the same rules.
