0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

2345.com is a well-established Chinese web navigation portal, claiming nearly 20 years of operation. It aggregates popular and practical websites across various categories such as music, novels, sports, finance, shopping, video, software, and games. The site offers multiple search engine entry points, weather forecasts, and customization features to enhance user experience. Technically, the site uses a mix of older and modern technologies including jQuery 1.8.3 and Vue.js, with Baidu advertising and tracking scripts integrated. While the site is accessible and appears functional with good content quality and user experience, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, and uses an outdated JavaScript library, which poses security risks. The WHOIS data is unavailable or protected, which reduces transparency and trustworthiness. Overall, the site is a significant player in the Chinese web portal space but would benefit from improved security practices and privacy compliance.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

2345.com operates as a major web navigation portal in China, targeting general internet users seeking quick access to popular websites and services. Its business model revolves around advertising revenue and providing utility services such as weather and search. The site integrates with multiple partner domains and services within the 2345 ecosystem, including browsers and office tools. The lack of public WHOIS data and privacy policies may be due to regional privacy norms or registry restrictions. The site’s longevity and broad service offerings indicate a strong market position, though transparency and compliance improvements could enhance its competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates moderate security maturity. It employs HTTPS but lacks visible security headers in the provided data. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.8.3) is a notable vulnerability that could expose the site to known exploits. The site preserves the native window.open method to prevent tampering, indicating some security awareness. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, and no visible incident response or security contact information, highlight compliance gaps. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and no critical vulnerabilities were observed in the content. Overall, the security posture is average with room for improvement in library updates, header implementation, and privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to their latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies to comply with data protection regulations and improve user trust.
  4. Establish and publicize incident response and security contact channels to enhance transparency and readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a hybrid technology stack with legacy components like jQuery 1.8.3 and modern frameworks such as Vue.js. It leverages Baidu advertising and tracking scripts, indicating integration with major Chinese ad networks. The site is mobile-optimized and includes preloading and prefetching of resources for performance. However, the use of outdated libraries and lack of visible security headers suggest technical debt and potential security risks. The site’s SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and structured data, though no JSON-LD or Open Graph tags were explicitly found in the provided content. Hosting details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
