About cnn.com

cnn.com went online 33 years ago. It is hosted in United States. Its content suggests it is a News website. It is one of the most visited websites worldwide (#195). None of the security databases we monitor list it. Its connection is encrypted (padlock in the address bar) — good, though scam sites can have this too. On the website we noticed: countdown timers or scarcity pressure.
