In-Depth Analysis

Overview

Sözcü Gazetesi (sozcu.com.tr) is a Turkish news website providing news, breaking news, columns, special agenda news, current affairs, interviews, and news related to the Sözcü Newspaper.

Security Assessment

The website utilizes a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, indicating encrypted communication. The domain is quite old (35 years), which can be a positive trust signal. However, it is hosted by Cloudflare, a CDN provider, masking the origin server's specific location. The presence on one blacklist is a significant concern, potentially indicating past security incidents or malicious activity. The lack of a clearly defined registrar is also unusual.

Trust Level

With a FlareScore of 72/100, sozcu.com.tr presents a warning. The blacklist status significantly lowers the trust level. While SSL is valid, the potential security risks associated with the blacklist listing outweigh this positive aspect. The presence of trackers and lack of a privacy policy further contribute to the lowered score.

Recommendations

Users should exercise caution when browsing sozcu.com.tr. Be wary of clicking on suspicious links or downloading files. It's advisable to use a reputable ad blocker and consider using a VPN for added security. Given the blacklist status, it's prudent to verify the news presented on this site with other reliable sources.
