Is anistream.online legit or a scam?

MT Intelligence
The site operates in the high-risk niche of pirated media streaming, which frequently exposes users to malicious advertising and tracking. Our antivirus network shows a suspicious flag from alphaMountain.ai, and independent research has identified the domain as high-risk on community platforms like Reddit. The platform provides no physical address, phone number, or corporate registration, using only a generic Gmail address for contact. Furthermore, it relies on external domains known for aggressive ad-serving, which increases the likelihood of encountering malware or phishing redirects.
