Frequently asked questions
What is ZeroSSL ECC Domain Secure Site CA?
ZeroSSL ECC Domain Secure Site CA is a publicly trusted intermediate certificate authority operated by ZeroSSL / Sectigo and chained to USERTrust ECC Certification Authority. It is recognized by all mainstream browsers and operating system trust stores, so the certificate itself is not a phishing indicator - the same intermediate signs millions of legitimate sites. phishunt only flags the specific domains listed below as suspicious; ZeroSSL ECC Domain Secure Site CA as a CA is fine.
Why does ZeroSSL ECC Domain Secure Site CA show up on phishing sites?
ZeroSSL / Sectigo issues ECDSA domain-validated certificates automatically and at no cost (or very low cost), which is the exact workflow scammers need to put HTTPS on a throwaway domain. Domain validation only proves that the requester controls the domain name, not that the site behind it is trustworthy. phishunt lists the specific domains currently flagged below — those are the suspicious ones, not ZeroSSL ECC Domain Secure Site CA itself.
How do I verify a certificate issued by ZeroSSL ECC Domain Secure Site CA?
In a desktop browser, click the padlock in the address bar and open the certificate viewer. Confirm the issuer chain ends at USERTrust ECC Certification Authority, that the subject matches the domain you expect, and that the notAfter date has not passed. A valid ZeroSSL ECC Domain Secure Site CA certificate only proves TLS was negotiated correctly — always verify the domain name itself belongs to the service you intended to visit.
What is the difference between ZeroSSL ECC Domain Secure Site CA and ZeroSSL RSA Domain Secure Site CA?
ZeroSSL ECC Domain Secure Site CA and its siblings (ZeroSSL RSA Domain Secure Site CA) share the same operator (ZeroSSL / Sectigo) and roll up to the same root (USERTrust ECC Certification Authority). CAs rotate multiple intermediates so that if one key ever has to be revoked, the damage is contained. As a user, you can treat all of them as the same trust anchor.
It is strongly recommended to use them for Threat Hunting or add them to a Watchlist.
