6 threat patterns detected

medium

encoded payload

suspicious base64-like blobs detected in page content

critical

brand impersonation

The domain ddog-gov.com impersonates Datadog (datadoghq.com) by using a typosquat/lookalike domain. The page title is 'Datadog: Log In' and the page replicates Datadog's login UI, branding, and infrastructure references (DD_version, dd-login.min.js, dd-login.min.css), creating a convincing fake login portal for a major SaaS monitoring platform. (location: https://ddog-gov.com / page.html:6, page.html:10-11)

critical

credential harvesting

The page presents a fully functional Datadog login form hosted on a non-Datadog domain (ddog-gov.com). The hidden auth_settings input includes authentication_token '403d63f5bcc4c109a57be4c34087675ab6d9c39a', login endpoints (/account/login), and supports SAML, Google OIDC, and standard credential login — all designed to capture real Datadog credentials submitted by users who believe they are on the legitimate Datadog site. (location: page.html:20 (auth_settings hidden input))

critical

phishing

The site is a phishing page masquerading as the official Datadog government login portal. It uses the '.gov' suffix in the domain (ddog-gov.com) to imply government legitimacy and official status, likely targeting government or enterprise users of Datadog's FedRAMP/GovCloud product. The config-init value references datacenter 'us1.fed.dog' and env 'gov', reinforcing the deceptive government/federal framing. (location: https://ddog-gov.com / metadata.json, page.html:61 (config-init hidden input))

high

hidden content

Multiple hidden inputs are embedded in the page using 'display: none' divs: 'auth_settings' contains authentication tokens, OAuth URLs, reCAPTCHA site keys, and login flow configuration; 'config-init' contains extensive application configuration including Braintree payment keys ('production_svxkfc64_9mgt93ty97qj6hbt'), browser SDK tokens, and internal app URLs; 'public-path' exposes static asset CDN origin. This hidden data exfiltrates or exposes sensitive configuration to any page scripts or third parties. (location: page.html:20 (auth_settings), page.html:61 (config-init), page.html:62 (public-path))

high

credential harvesting

A reCAPTCHA site key ('6LfyEw8pAAAAAN9eEkzUhRICIZWXcrvCXEn5bF0U') and a Braintree production publishable key ('production_svxkfc64_9mgt93ty97qj6hbt') are embedded in the hidden config, suggesting the site may also be set up to process payment information or bypass bot protections under a fraudulent context. (location: page.html:20 (recaptcha_site_key in auth_settings), page.html:61 (braintree_publishable_key in config-init))

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

Common questions teams ask before deciding whether to use this domain in agent workflows.

Is ddog-gov.com safe for AI agents to use?

ddog-gov.com currently scores 34/100 with a suspicious verdict and low confidence. The goal is to protect agents from high-risk context before they act on it. Treat this as a decision signal: higher scores suggest lower observed risk, while lower scores mean you should add review or block this domain.

How should I interpret the score and verdict?

Use the score as a policy threshold: 80–100 is safe, 50–79 is caution, 20–49 is suspicious, and 0–19 is dangerous. Teams often auto-allow safe, require human review for caution/suspicious, and block dangerous.

How does brin compute this domain score?

brin evaluates four dimensions: identity (source trust), behavior (runtime patterns), content (malicious instructions), and graph (relationship risk). Analysis runs in tiers: static signals, deterministic pattern checks, then AI semantic analysis when needed.

What do identity, behavior, content, and graph mean for this domain?

Identity checks source trust, behavior checks unusual runtime patterns, content checks for malicious instructions, and graph checks risky relationships to other entities. Looking at sub-scores helps you understand why an entity passed or failed.

Why does brin scan packages, repos, skills, MCP servers, pages, and commits?

brin performs risk assessments on external context before it reaches an AI agent. It scores that context for threats like prompt injection, hijacking, credential harvesting, and supply chain attacks, so teams can decide whether to block, review, or proceed safely.

Can I rely on a safe verdict as a full security guarantee?

No. A safe verdict means no significant risk signals were detected in this scan. It is not a formal guarantee; assessments are automated and point-in-time, so combine scores with your own controls and periodic re-checks.

When should I re-check before using an entity?

Re-check before high-impact actions such as installs, upgrades, connecting MCP servers, executing remote code, or granting secrets. Use the API in CI or runtime gates so decisions are based on the latest scan.
