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.

The domain is a direct clone of 9anime.to, a well-known anime streaming site that faced repeated shutdowns for copyright infringement. Registration occurred only 31 days ago, placing it in the high-risk window for newly-launched phishing and malware distribution sites. A Reddit security report explicitly rates the domain as high-risk with a 78/100 risk score. No business registration, contact information, or verifiable owner details exist — typical for anonymous piracy mirrors designed to evade legal action. While our antivirus network detected no malware signatures, the site's purpose (copyright infringement), newness, clone status, and lack of transparency create substantial risk for users. The incomplete screenshot suggests the site may use JavaScript-heavy obfuscation or slow-loading content delivery common in piracy operations.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

Visual analysis was inconclusive due to incomplete screenshot capture, suggesting the site may employ JavaScript rendering or intentional delays. The domain name closely mimics the original 9anime brand, a known piracy streaming service.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 172.67.187.172 with zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. SSL certificate is valid (Let's Encrypt) with 58 days remaining. However, infrastructure cleanliness does not indicate legitimate purpose — piracy operations routinely use legitimate hosting and SSL.

Domain History

Registered 31 days ago via NameCheap with privacy protection disabled. This age places it in the critical window for newly-launched scam and malware distribution sites. The domain is explicitly identified as a clone of 9anime.to, part of a crowded ecosystem of mirror sites (9animetv.to, etc.) created after the original's shutdown.

Web Reputation

Reddit's r/ScamChecker community flagged the domain as high-risk (78/100 risk score) and "likely unsafe." Independent trust aggregators returned no data. No positive reviews or business legitimacy signals were found. The site operates in the anime piracy niche, where copyright infringement, malware distribution, and credential harvesting are endemic.

Research summary
Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above

A Reddit post in r/ScamChecker explicitly rates 9animex.tv as high-risk with a 78/100 risk score, describing it as 'likely unsafe.' The domain is confirmed to be a clone of 9anime.to, a defunct piracy streaming site. No business registration, owner details, or verifiable contact information was found — typical for anonymous piracy mirrors. The site operates within a known ecosystem of anime piracy clones (including 9animetv.to and others) that have faced repeated legal shutdowns for copyright infringement. While no widespread malware detections were reported in security scan aggregators, the combination of newness (31 days old), clone status, lack of transparency, and piracy-niche operation creates substantial risk.

  • AI analyst tagged this as a brand / clone-site impersonation.
  • Clustered with known brand-impersonation infrastructure.

Possible brand impersonation

This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.

  • Treat 9animex.tv as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  • Go to the brand's real site directly

    Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.

  • Never download or sign in here

    Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.

  • Report the impersonation to the brand

    Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review marked 9animex.tv as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.
  • 9animex.tv currently scores 46/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
  • Yes. 9animex.tv presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · E7, expiring in 58 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • 9animex.tv is 1 month old, registered on 5/12/2026 through NameCheap, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report 9animex.tv as clean.
  • No. 9animex.tv is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • 9animex.tv resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). 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.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 13, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around 9animex.tv have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
