External threat-provider coverage was unavailable for this scan, so malware status is unverified.

The public registry record shows Feb 24, 2024. Registration details may be privacy-protected or updated later.

Did essential-japan.com have a valid TLS certificate?

The scanner observed a valid TLS certificate using TLSv1.3. A valid certificate alone does not establish that the site is safe.
