This signal marks pages that embed Twitter / X content or widgets — timelines, embedded posts, or the platform’s sharing and tracking scripts. ScanMalware detects it from the platform.twitter.com loader and embed markup.
Embedded widgets are third-party scripts with page access; the embedded content is also worth reviewing, since social embeds can carry off-site links used in scams.

How ScanMalware detects Twitter
Twitter is detected by analysing the response headers, HTML markup, JavaScript runtime and asset URLs captured when ScanMalware loads the site in a real headless browser.
From any scan you can pivot into related signals — JARM TLS fingerprints, ASN ownership and BGP routing, certificate history, JavaScript analysis and the overall security verdict — to understand not just that Twitter is present, but how it is being used. Open the full search interface for Twitter →
