What this scan found

CyberTrust assessed hsbc.com.hk passively — using only information that is publicly visible on the internet: DNS records, certificates, response headers and reachable services. The result is 89/100, grade B, where A means lowest risk and F means highest, like a school report card.

Email spoofing is blocked: hsbc.com.hk publishes a DMARC record with p=reject at 100% coverage, so mail forged from @hsbc.com.hk should be rejected by major providers.

Strongest area: external attack surface (100/100). Weakest area: HTTP security headers (74/100).

7 issue(s) need attention (7 low), while 14 checks passed.

Infrastructure observed: mail is hosted by proofpoint, traffic is fronted by cloudfront, the web server identifies as apache.

186 subdomain(s) of hsbc.com.hk resolve publicly.

lowContent Security Policy is weak (script-src 'unsafe-inline'; script-src 'unsafe-eval')

The policy is too permissive (script-src 'unsafe-inline'; script-src 'unsafe-eval'), so injected scripts still run while giving a false sense of security.

lowHSTS preload not enabled

Even with HSTS on, the very first visit is still exposed to SSL-stripping: the header only takes effect after one successful HTTPS visit. Browsers ship a preload list (Chromium's list is used by Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox) so the first connection goes straight to HTTPS.

lowNo DKIM key found on common selectors

Without DKIM, mail integrity cannot be verified and DMARC loses one of its two authentication pillars. Note we probed only 46 common selectors, so a custom selector may exist.

lowNo OCSP stapling

The server does not staple the certificate revocation status. Every revocation check becomes an extra round trip to the CA, which slows the first visit and, if the CA endpoint is unreachable or the visitor's network blocks it, leaves the browser without a usable revocation status.

lowDNSSEC not enabled

Without it, attackers can poison caches or forge answers and send visitors to a lookalike server that harvests credentials.
