Score breakdown
See the live page ↓These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Intelligence
The domain 3xktech.cloud belongs to 3xK Tech GmbH, a registered German company operating since 2023. Two antivirus engines flagged the page as malicious and phishing, though the majority returned clean results. The hosting IP carries zero abuse score on our feeds, yet external reports document 161 complaints tied to the same ASN for malicious proxy use. The page itself displays only basic corporate contact details with no login forms or sales content. The combination of legitimate registration and documented third-party abuse on the infrastructure creates moderate risk for visitors who might interact with services hosted there.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for 3xktech.cloud, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- 3xktech.cloud is the official website for 3xK Tech GmbH, a German hosting and proxy provider (AS200373).
- The infrastructure is widely used as a proxy service, leading to high volumes of abuse reports (e.g., phishing, web spam, and DDoS attacks) associated with its IP addresses.
- Security researchers have identified the company's services as being used in botnet-driven DDoS attacks and as a source of residential proxy traffic that is often misclassified or used for malicious purposes.
- Multiple IP addresses under this ASN have been flagged by abuse monitoring services with high fraud scores (up to 99/100).
- The domain itself is not a scam site, but its services are frequently leveraged by malicious actors to mask their origin.
- AbuseIPDBopen
"IP Abuse Reports for 104.207.43.142: This IP address has been reported a total of 161 times from 25 distinct sources."
- Quriumopen
"3xK Tech GmbH (3xktech.cloud), a IPv6 proxy provider operated by Friedrich Kräft... The 1h attack was conducted from the following IPv6 networks... an analysis of the IPv6 flooding shows an almost constant number of active addresses"
- TopProxyLabopen
"A proxy sold as residential is being classified by IP2Location as a datacenter VPN server with a fraud score of 90."
Registered as 3xK Tech GmbH in Schorfheide, Brandenburg (AS200373).
Our research found three reports linking 3xK Tech GmbH's proxy services to malicious activity. One monitoring service recorded 161 abuse reports for IPs in the same ASN. Security researchers documented the infrastructure being used in botnet-driven DDoS attacks and as a source of misclassified residential proxy traffic. No direct scam complaints target the domain itself, but the proxy service's reputation for abuse is consistent across sources.

What to do
Proceed with caution
Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.
- Treat 3xktech.cloud as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
- Verify the business through independent channels
Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.
- Never use irreversible payment methods
Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

Final Verdict
This is the official site for a German proxy and hosting provider. Its IP addresses show heavy abuse reports for phishing and DDoS activity even though the domain itself is not malicious.
Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- 3xktech.cloud raises serious red flags as a scam site — avoid interacting with it. 2 of 92 security engines flag it (2 as outright malicious). The domain is 3.4 years old through NAMECHEAP. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
- Proceed with caution — 3xktech.cloud scores 46/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend verifying it through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
- If you've already paid or handed over details on 3xktech.cloud, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on 3xktech.cloud and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
- Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
- Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.
- You can report 3xktech.cloud through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
- Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
- Yes. 2 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged 3xktech.cloud, 2 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
- No — 3xktech.cloud is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
- 3xktech.cloud is 3.4 years old, registered on February 6, 2023 through NAMECHEAP. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
- Yes — 3xktech.cloud presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 76 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
- 3xktech.cloud resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
