js obfuscation

JavaScript uses Function constructor for runtime code generation

high

malicious redirect

A hidden input field with class 'redirect_url_2' contains a TinyURL shortlink (https://tinyurl.com/yp9fwcfz) that is used as the popup click-through redirect destination. The actual destination is obfuscated behind the URL shortener. JavaScript in the popup (window.open(redirect_url,'_self')) silently navigates the user to this unknown destination when the popup is clicked. The same TinyURL is reused for popup id=3 via 'redirect_url_3'. (location: page.html:432 and page.html:1596 — hidden input fields inside ays-popup-box modals)

high

social engineering

Two auto-displaying popup overlays (modal id=2 triggered after 3-second delay; modal id=3 triggered after 60-second delay) present 'Join for Free Today' calls-to-action. The popups have a hidden close button that only appears on mouseover and auto-close timers, using dark-pattern UX to pressure users into clicking the popup body, which silently redirects them via a TinyURL shortlink to an unknown destination. (location: page.html:366-434 (popup id=2), page.html:1560-1600 (popup id=3) — ays-popup-box plugin modals)

medium

hidden content

Both popup modals (id=2 and id=3) have their title ('Join for Free Today') and description ('Demo Description') set to display:none, and the close button is hidden by default (only shown on mouseover). The visible portion of the popup is entirely controlled by an opaque background image from media.folkd.com, making the actual content and intent invisible to scanners relying on visible text. (location: page.html:417 — h2 and div elements with style='display: none' inside ays-pb-modal_2; same pattern in ays-pb-modal_3)

medium

credential harvesting

All 'Sign Up' and 'Member Login' navigation links point to a separate subdomain (members.folkd.com) rather than the main domain. The registration and login flows are hosted externally at https://members.folkd.com/s/register/ and https://members.folkd.com/login/, creating a credential collection surface on a subdomain that may have different security posture than the main site. (location: page.html:293-294 and page.html:296-297 — nav menu items and mobile offscreen menu items)

medium

phishing

The site presents itself as 'The Ultimate Dating Site' (meta description, page.html:12) operating under folkd.com, but folkd.com is historically known as a social bookmarking/link-sharing platform. The site has been repurposed into a dating site, potentially exploiting the old brand's domain age (7405 days) and existing user trust to lure users into registering with a service that is substantively different from the brand's original identity. This brand-mismatch is a phishing indicator. (location: page.html:12 — meta description; metadata.json — domain folkd.com with 7405-day age)

low

brand impersonation

The domain folkd.com originally operated as a social bookmarking service. The current site fully repurposes the domain as a dating platform ('Folkd — The Ultimate Dating Site') without clear disclosure of the domain's history, which could mislead users who recall the old folkd.com social bookmarking brand into trusting a new, unrelated dating service. (location: page.html:6-8 — title and meta dc.description; page-text.txt:35)

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

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

Is folkd.com safe for AI agents to use?

folkd.com currently scores 40/100 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.
