Is ahoylist.net legit or a scam?
New piracy link directory with low trust scores from review sites and no established reputation.
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.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The site presents itself as an index of streaming, anime, torrent, and piracy resources, which matches the self-description in its own Reddit post. The domain is only 122 days old, a common red flag for low-trust sites, and independent review sites have assigned it very low scores primarily for that reason. Antivirus engines returned almost entirely clean results with just one suspicious flag, and no malware or scam complaints from users were located. The combination of recent creation, piracy category, and poor trust scores from reviewers outweighs the lack of direct complaints, leading to a suspicious classification.
