Questions about nic-irq.com
- Is nic-irq.com safe?
- No. MalwareAnalyzer scanned nic-irq.com on 17 Aug 2026 and returned a suspicious verdict with a score of 42 out of 100. Treat it as hostile until it is re-checked.
- What malware is associated with nic-irq.com?
- 2 analysed samples communicate with this URL, including Phishing.
- How was nic-irq.com 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.
