Investigation Brief

The domain is an IPFS service-worker gateway that can load any content-addressed file. Antivirus vendors report 6 malicious detections and 2 suspicious detections for specific subdomains, indicating that attackers are using this gateway to host phishing pages and malware.

Antivirus detections

Six independent antivirus families (alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Kaspersky) flagged the gateway subdomain as malicious.

the multi-engine malware scan reports 6 malicious and 2 suspicious detections across 92 engines for the same subdomain.

Technical versus operator risk

The gateway itself is open-source infrastructure, but its design allows any IPFS CID to be served through the browser, enabling attackers to host phishing or malware content without moderation.

Visitor exposure path

A visitor clicking an untrusted IPFS link is routed through the gateway, which then renders the attacker-controlled content directly in the browser.

Why the score is 15

6 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Safety FAQ

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

Is bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link a scam or a legit download site?
bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link shows every sign of being a malware & deceptive downloads — avoid interacting with it. Our review tagged it for phishing and malware. 8 of 92 security engines flag it (6 as outright malicious). The domain is an unknown age. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
Is bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link safe to use?
No — bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link has a Safety Score of 15/100 (Dangerous) because decisive threat evidence was saved with this scan. Leave the site and do not log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
I already paid or entered my details on bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link — what should I do?
If you've already paid or handed over details on bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
Can I get my money back from bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link?
Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
Is my device infected after visiting bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link?
Simply loading a page is usually lower-risk than downloading or running a file from it. If you downloaded or opened anything from bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link, run a full scan with reputable antivirus software and consider it untrusted. If you only viewed the page, keep your browser and OS updated, watch for unexpected pop-ups or new programs, and change passwords from a clean device if you entered any.
How do I report bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link?
You can report bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link looks professional — how can it still be a scam?
Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
Has bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 8 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link, 6 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link 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 bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link domain?
bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link is an unknown age. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Where is bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link hosted?
bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link resolves to an IP operated by Protocol Labs in US (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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 bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 7, 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 bafkreieursegqbjjixv6xjqtpco5i56bt7gtcvisn6tomftwrxy2bzqxzi.ipfs.inbrowser.link has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
