Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is fasb.org legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns fasb.org?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for fasb.org. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.
AboutUs has not vetted this site. Everything below is what we could measure automatically. Anything you do on the site — paying, sharing personal details, downloading — is between you and the site, not AboutUs.
Current facts
Latest available measurements; dated entries retain their dates. These are measurements, not an endorsement of the site.

Why this authority score
65 is a percentile: higher than 65% of sites we score.
How it's calculated
Prominence (Tranco rank #55,706)+7
Verified continuity: 30.5 years (RDAP registration)+11
Security & email hygiene+2
Calibration adjustment (published map)+13
Model score: 33/99 — what these reason lines add up to.
Published Authority (percentile): 65/100 — this site's rank against the August 2026 scored sample. Public Authority is capped at 99.
Safety evidence
No unexpired threat-feed result; name-similarity check available (recorded about 68 days ago); 3/3 transport and email checks available (oldest recorded about 68 days ago). This is evidence coverage, not a probability that a website is safe.
No caution flags in the available scoring observations; this is not a complete safety assessment
