01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

The site presents itself as a community-driven anime streaming platform built with Next.js 15 that pulls metadata from AniList and streams episodes through external providers. It does not host video files itself and encourages users to support the project through donations and ad tasks.

How the site operates

AnimeDex functions as an aggregator that displays anime metadata from the AniList GraphQL API and provides links to third-party streaming providers such as Luna Anime and Kuzunoha.

The site explicitly states it does not host video files and instead sources content from publicly available third-party providers.

Funding and commercial prompts

The site displays donation buttons for Patreon, Ko-fi, and Buy Me a Coffee, along with a prompt to perform ad tasks to fund the site.

Community links to Discord are also present for updates and issue reporting.

Why the score is 62

The saved analysis does not include enough completed checks for a Safe rating. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  1. Analyst recommendation

    The site carries moderate risk primarily due to its role in distributing copyrighted material through third-party sources and exposure to advertising common in piracy ecosystems. No malware or phishing indicators were detected.

  2. Treat animedex.fun as unverified

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Share your experience

    If you have additional context, drop a comment below or post on the MalwareTips forum.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is animedex.fun a scam or is it safe?
There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give animedex.fun a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. The domain is 3 months old — recently-registered sites carry more risk. Until it can be independently verified, don't enter passwords, card details, or send money, and confirm the company through channels you find yourself rather than links on the site.
Is animedex.fun safe to use?
animedex.fun has a Safety Score of 62/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.
Has animedex.fun been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 91 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report animedex.fun as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is animedex.fun on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — animedex.fun 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.
How old is the animedex.fun domain?
animedex.fun is 3 months old, registered on May 14, 2026 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
Does animedex.fun have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — animedex.fun presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE1, valid for another 31 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".
Where is animedex.fun hosted?
animedex.fun 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.
How often is the animedex.fun report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on September 8, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about animedex.fun has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
