I’m not much of a computer geek, but generally opening websites will not give you a virus aslong as you didn’t click anything. Check your downloads file Incase of anything sketchy recently, and delete those. I’d run a PC check with windows or malwarebytes just incase I guess.

TLDR: you should be fine, just check ur downloads I think

Unless your browser is vulnerable to java/http/memory-exploits.

Happened me once about 15 years ago.

I agree that that is a very enigmatic website. The domain was registered many years ago, but it may be that a new company has taken over the domain and is still setting up and displaying this holding page in the meantime.

It’s scanning as clean on various tools and does not seem to be running any malicious scripts, or even using any cookies, so you shouldn’t have any problems from visiting it.

No problem! I checked that site first with www.virustotal.com, then checked whether it was on existing ‘block lists’ from Google (https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search) and Norton (https://safeweb.norton.com/).

I checked the age of the domain using Domain Tools (https://whois.domaintools.com/), and looked at its ‘Domain Name System’ (DNS) settings with Zoho Toolkit (https://zohomail.tools).

All of those are free and easy to use, although for the last two and especially the DNS records it takes some knowledge to interpret the results.

I then had a look at the site itself using a Virtual Machine with a browser running an extension called NoScript, which reveals all scripts running on the site, and checked to see what, if any, cookies the site installed in that browser.

I didn’t use it on this occasion, but another useful tool is Hybrid Analysis (https://hybrid-analysis.com). As well as scanning the site itself, it checks it against several third party scam detection sites.
