Investigation Brief
castle.tv.in is a content site that immediately redirects visitors through castle.me.in to castletv.tv.in and prominently advertises an APK download.

Primary call-to-action and trust signals

Below the button, the site shows “Security Verified” badges attributed to McAfee, F-Secure, and Adblock.
Antivirus and threat-intel detections
BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, and G-Data each returned an adverse classification for the domain.
Bitverzo threat-intel lists the domain under phishing, malware distribution, or spam categories.
Why the score is 18
