🤖 AI Summary

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, aldermore.co.uk receives a trust score of 75/100, which places it in the "Likely Safe" category. This score is calculated by evaluating multiple factors including SSL certificate validity, domain registration history, email authentication protocols, security header configuration, and blacklist status across major threat intelligence databases. The analysis identified several positive trust signals: a valid HTTPS connection protecting data in transit, HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) enforcement preventing protocol downgrade attacks, SPF (Sender Policy Framework) email authentication preventing email spoofing, DMARC email authentication with a quarantine policy, and DNSSEC providing authenticated DNS responses. Areas of concern include: the domain's WHOIS information is hidden behind a privacy service, making it harder to verify the owner's identity. While these issues don't necessarily indicate malicious intent, they represent areas where the website's security posture could be improved. We checked aldermore.co.uk against 8 major blacklist databases including Google Safe Browsing, Phishtank, Urlhaus, Openphish, Dnsfilter, Spamhaus Dbl, Surbl, and Virustotal.

aldermore.co.uk resolves to the IPv4 address 149.126.74.250, but does not support IPv6. IPv6 adoption is increasingly important as IPv4 address space becomes exhausted, and some ISPs and regions are transitioning to IPv6-only connectivity. The domain has 2 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 3 name servers: ns1.lexsynergy.net, ns2.lexsynergy.us, and ns3.lexsynergy.info.

The choice of name servers often indicates the DNS hosting provider or CDN service being used. Email for aldermore.co.uk is handled by mimecast.com with 2 MX records configured: eu-smtp-inbound-1.mimecast.com and eu-smtp-inbound-2.mimecast.com.

This helps prevent email spoofing and improves email deliverability. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) is configured with a quarantine policy — a moderate setting, directing unauthorized emails to spam/junk folders.
