Ist pingdom.net sicher?

Thank you for the community reviewers, I've now redlighted this on global scope in µMatrix browser extension (not affiliated, just recommend it for NoScript users as an alternative I find easier and more versatile to use — once you get over the initial confusion I at least had for a short bit of time)

User tracking, aka AB testing, otherwise they do NOT seem to host any malware. ***** Well, who wants tracking?

That domain name is a privacy concern and potentially a security risk. Because both that domain name website the its whois do not contain clear information about who they are and what they do. Until they clarify those I prefer blocking that domain name. This domain name is registered by the organization: Pingdom AB - - - "Pingdom AB provides Website monitoring and performance management solutions to companies. It offers tools and services for Website owners in Sweden and internationally. The company was founded in 2007 and is based in Vasteras, Sweden. As of June 18, 2014, Pingdom AB operates as a subsidiary of SolarWinds, Inc."

As of 25 Oct 2013, neither of the aforementioned note any problems... http://www.urlvoid.com/scan/pingdom.net/. http://trafficlight.bitdefender.com/info?url=http://pingdom.net

Be aware, I came across pingdom.net while visiting the US government's new "Health Insurance Marketplace," healthcare.gov. It was among several sites blocked by NoScript. As HealthyTheWombat originally stated - and I verified - pingdom.net is considered "Blacklisted" by URLVoid (see Healthy's comment for link). This is due to Bitdefender TrafficLight, which gives the following message when pingdom.net is scanned: "Stop! This website is not safe. This website contains malware that may harm your computer. This website contains elements classified as malware: software that can harm your computer or operate without your consent. Visiting a site that contains malware can infect your computer." Reference: http://trafficlight.bitdefender.com/info?url=http://pingdom.net Interestingly, Bitdefender only has an issue with the .net domain, meaning ***** passes without triggering any alerts. Also, it is worth noting that Bitdefender is the only authoritative source - that I've checked - that currently flags pingdom.net as "blacklisted," or otherwise untrustworthy. Securi SiteCheck, Google Safe Browsing, and McAfee SiteAdvisor all show a clean report. ***** claims to offer real-time website monitoring services. No idea whether or not there is any sort of cross-site tracking going on, but I wouldn't be surprised.
