Is FlightClub Safe?

I analyzed flightclub.com for malware and malicious content to check if it was legit or a scam. Here are the results:

I checked the site flightclub.com on the online malware scanner Sucuri and it returned as a medium security risk. You can see the same here: Sucuri scan for the site flightclub.com.

Sucuri says the site flightclub.com is a medium security risk because the scan failed because of a 403 Forbidden error.

Some hardening improvements can be made:

  • Missing security header for ClickJacking Protection. Alternatively, you can use Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors ‘none’. Affected pages:
    https://www.flightclub.com/404javascript.js
    https://www.flightclub.com/404testpage4525d2fdc
  • Missing security header to prevent Content Type sniffing.
  • Missing Strict-Transport-Security security header.
  • Missing Content-Security-Policy directive. We recommend to add the following CSP directives (you can use default-src if all values are the same): script-src, object-src, base-uri, frame-src

However, these hardening improvements don’t impact the Sucuri grade.

To check this further I ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on the site flightclub.com and it says the page is clean. You can see the same here: Unmask Parasites scan for the site flightclub.com.

I also checked the site flightclub.com on VirusTotal and it isn’t malicious. You can see the same here: VirusTotal scan for the site flightclub.com.
