Is 163img.com a scam?

Our automated security review found no threat indicators on 163img.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.

Is 163img.com safe to use?

163img.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 97/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.

How old is the 163img.com domain?

163img.com is 17.4 years old, registered on 2/6/2009 through MarkMonitor Information Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has 163img.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report 163img.com as clean.

Is 163img.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. 163img.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is 163img.com hosted?

163img.com resolves to an IP operated by Guangzhou NetEase Computer System Co., Ltd in CN (usage type: Commercial). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

Is 163img.com a well-known website?

Yes. 163img.com sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.

How often is the 163img.com report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 23, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around 163img.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

It serves as a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for NetEase's ecosystem, including their popular mail and news services. No security engines flag the site, and its infrastructure is consistent with a major enterprise operation.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on 163img.com and not a lookalike like 1-63img.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.
Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
