Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on aparat.com and not a lookalike like a-parat.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

- aparat.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 89/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
- Yes. aparat.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Asseco Data Systems S.A. · Certum DV TLS G2 R39 CA, expiring in 209 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
- aparat.com is 23.4 years old, registered on 12/31/2002 through CSL Computer Service Langenbach GmbH d/b/a joker.com. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

- No. aparat.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
- aparat.com resolves to an IP operated by Fannavaran-e Idea Pardaz-e Saba PJSC in IR (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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.
