Is www.facebook.com safe?

The scan of www.facebook.com on 21 Aug 2026 found no evidence of harm. That is the absence of a finding at one point in time, not a guarantee: a page can change, and a scan only sees what it was served.

How was www.facebook.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.

ClamAV feed: SaneSecurity foxhole_generic [av]: Porcupine.Malware.52833.UNOFFICIAL (page content)

These signatures matched text in the page. Pages that quote or document malware can match them, so on their own they do not make a page malicious.

Why this verdict

Valid TLS, no impersonation or off-origin credential post
A signature matched text in the page (Porcupine.Malware.52833.UNOFFICIAL) — pages that discuss malware can match, so this alone is not a malicious verdict
