Low Risk

Confidence: 80%

3
Risk Score

Established Adweek media site. No phishing, credential, payment, or impersonation signals. IDS/ad-tech anomalies are low risk; generic third-party abuse IoC does not affect the page.

Risk Factors
Suricata IDS reported critical XSS attempt (script tag) alerts and external IP lookup activity.
36 eval() calls in page JavaScript, which is uncommon but typical of ad-tech/analytics-heavy sites.
133 redirects detected (101 cross-domain), likely ad tracking/redirect chains rather than malicious cloaking.
Safety Factors
Well-established domain (31 years old).
Self-branding matches domain: ADWEEK title/meta.
No credential or payment forms; no password fields, no payment fields.
Legitimate SSO cross-origin form submission to audience.adweek.com.
Content is clearly advertising/media news (og:type=article).
Domain age information unavailable
