Is bukivawq.ru legit or a scam?
A malicious phishing site targeting Russian-speaking users with a fake 'verification' flow to harvest phone numbers, SMS codes, and account passwords.
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.
