Is apk15.net legit or a scam?
A malicious clone of the Ignition app store using fake game mods and 'free Robux' lures to steal user login credentials.
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.

MT Intelligence
The site is a confirmed clone of the legitimate ignition.fun domain, designed to trick users into thinking they are on a trusted third-party app store. Our analysis detected a credential-harvesting pattern where the page impersonates Roblox and presents a login form to steal account details. Several security partners, including Chong Lua Dao, alphaMountain.ai, and Gridinsoft, have flagged the domain as malicious or phishing. While the domain itself is several years old, it currently hosts a gaming-scam template that relies on external redirects and link-shorteners to distribute suspicious files. The lack of any verifiable business registration or contact information further confirms its fraudulent nature.
