Evidence Summary

CRITICAL
Evidence score
71/100

The domain nansenmagazine.com was registered on 21 February 2026 through Tucows Domains Inc. and is actively serving content that mimics the Instagram brand. The site’s HTML title is set to “Instagram”, a clear indicator of brand impersonation. The domain is listed on a public security blocklist and is currently flagged by PhishDestroy as an active impersonation threat.

Infrastructure analysis shows the site presents a TLS certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (YR1) while also reporting DigiCert in the technology fingerprint, suggesting a possible certificate chain substitution. HSTS and HTTP/3 are enabled, and the site issues an HTTP 301 redirect to the same host. DNS resolution points to IP address 198.49.23.145, which belongs to a US‑based Squarespace hosting environment. Authoritative name servers are dns1.p02.nsone.net through dns4.p02.nsone.net.

Reputation metrics reinforce the malicious profile. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, indicating a high likelihood of abuse. VirusTotal analysis records 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, and the domain appears on at least one additional blocklist. Combined with the brand‑specific page title and the 301 redirect, these indicators confirm the site is designed to lure Instagram users.

Defenders should add nansenmagazine.com to URL filtering and sinkhole lists, enforce TLS inspection to capture the redirect behavior, and monitor DNS queries to the nsone.net name servers for similar patterns. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the domain’s short age and recent registration suggest it may be part of a broader impersonation campaign targeting Instagram users.
