Verdict

IPFS gateway URL flagged by 11 security engines as phishing and serving only a broken service-worker error

This address is not a normal commercial website. It is an IPFS content gateway under the inbrowser.link namespace, a technical mechanism for exposing decentralized files through a browser, and the page currently returns only an installation error about a service worker. The decisive concern is threat intelligence: an aggregate scan records 11 malicious and 2 suspicious detections across 93 engines, with 11 independent antivirus families reporting an adverse result, including alphaMountain.ai, Emsisoft and ESET. Clean the browser threat feed and valid TLS results show no additional technical warning, but they do not clear a host that security vendors have flagged as phishing. The operator is undisclosed and the site's own contact and policy pages were not read in full, so there is no trustworthy explanation for the flagged host or the content it is meant to serve.

Do not enter credentials, personal details or payment information on this address, and do not treat it as a normal site simply because it loads a technical error page. Independent web research was completed, but the operator remains unidentified and 11 security engines classify the host as phishing. If you reached this URL from a link, message or ad, treat the source as untrustworthy and close the page.

Investigation Brief

This address is not a normal commercial website. It is an IPFS content gateway under the inbrowser.link namespace, a technical mechanism for exposing decentralized files through a browser, and the page currently returns only an installation error about a service worker. The decisive concern is threat intelligence: an aggregate scan records 11 malicious and 2 suspicious detections across 93 engines, with 11 independent antivirus families reporting an adverse result, including alphaMountain.ai, Emsisoft and ESET. Clean the browser threat feed and valid TLS results show no additional technical warning, but they do not clear a host that security vendors have flagged as phishing. The operator is undisclosed and the site's own contact and policy pages were not read in full, so there is no trustworthy explanation for the flagged host or the content it is meant to serve.

The decisive signal: phishing detections by multiple vendors

An aggregate reputation scan records 11 malicious detections and 2 suspicious ones across 93 engines. Those negative results are not a single noisy vendor: 11 independent antivirus families flagged this host, and the listed families include alphaMountain.ai, Emsisoft and ESET. A host of this kind belongs in the high-risk band because the engine consensus points to phishing use, meaning the address has been seen hosting content built to imitate a legitimate page or harvest credentials.

Clean results elsewhere do not cancel that out. The browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, but both of those simply say no additional warning was raised at scan time and the connection is encrypted. Neither verifies who runs the host or what it will serve next.

The technical wrapper is legitimate; the host's reputation is not

The address itself is an IPFS gateway URL under the inbrowser.link namespace, which is commonly used to expose content stored on the InterPlanetary File System through a standard browser. That is a neutral technical mechanism, not a fraud signal on its own.

What the address actually returns is far less reassuring. The page shows an installation error stating an error occurred while trying to install a service worker for the same long IPFS identifier, so a visitor arriving here gets a broken gateway, not content. The site's own contact and policy text was never read in full, and no operator, company or contact details are disclosed in what was observed, so there is nothing to explain who published the content or why it is being flagged.

Why the score is 30

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

Your next move

Proceed with caution

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

  1. Analyst recommendation

    Do not enter credentials, personal details or payment information on this address, and do not treat it as a normal site simply because it loads a technical error page. Independent web research was completed, but the operator remains unidentified and 11 security engines classify the host as phishing. If you reached this URL from a link, message or ad, treat the source as untrustworthy and close the page.

  2. Treat bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link 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

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 bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link a scam or a legit website?
bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link shows strong warning signs of being a phishing site — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for phishing. 13 of 93 security engines flag it (11 as outright malicious). It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
Is bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link safe to use?
bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link has a Safety Score of 30/100 (High Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 86%. Avoid login, payment and downloads.
I already paid or entered my details on bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link — what should I do?
If you've already paid or handed over details on bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.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 bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.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 bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.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.
Did bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link steal my password or personal information?
If you entered anything on bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link, assume it was captured. Phishing pages exist purely to harvest what you type — usernames, passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes. Change the password immediately on the real site and anywhere you reused it, enable two-factor authentication, and if you entered card or banking details, contact your bank about the risk of fraud. Also be alert for follow-up "security" calls or emails that try to exploit the same information.
How do I report bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link?
You can report bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.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.
bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.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 bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 13 of 93 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link, 11 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 bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.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 bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link domain?
bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link is a site on a shared hosting service, so the provider's own domain age does not apply to it.
Does bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, valid for another 57 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".
How often is the bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 19, 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 bafkreiezmd4nzibsiqhijt2gwbek2z2vephne4pl43m2v36m7lg7enzyuy.ipfs.inbrowser.link has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.

IPFS gateway URL flagged by 11 security engines as phishing and serving only a broken service-worker error

Conclusion

This address is not a normal commercial website. It is an IPFS content gateway under the inbrowser.link namespace, a technical mechanism for exposing decentralized files through a browser, and the page currently returns only an installation error about a service worker. The decisive concern is threat intelligence: an aggregate scan records 11 malicious and 2 suspicious detections across 93 engines, with 11 independent antivirus families reporting an adverse result, including alphaMountain.ai, Emsisoft and ESET. Clean the browser threat feed and valid TLS results show no additional technical warning, but they do not clear a host that security vendors have flagged as phishing. The operator is undisclosed and the site's own contact and policy pages were not read in full, so there is no trustworthy explanation for the flagged host or the content it is meant to serve.

Recommended actionDo not enter credentials, personal details or payment information on this address, and do not treat it as a normal site simply because it loads a technical error page. Independent web research was completed, but the operator remains unidentified and 11 security engines classify the host as phishing. If you reached this URL from a link, message or ad, treat the source as untrustworthy and close the page.
