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.

What our vision model saw

5 signals

Promotes game 'executors' and 'cheats' which are high-risk categories for malware distribution

Offers third-party software for Roblox that likely violates platform terms of service

Layout uses a directory style to lend an air of legitimacy to unverified software repositories

Generic branding 'CheatDex' used to aggregate potentially malicious tools

Focus on 'free' tools for Windows often serves as a lure for credential stealers or miners

Confidence
The domain was registered just three days ago, which is a major red flag for any site offering software downloads. Our analysis shows the site functions as a directory for 'executors' and 'cheats' for games like Roblox, which are frequently used as lures for credential stealers and miners. Fortinet and SOCRadar have already flagged the site as suspicious or related to spam. There is no company information, physical address, or contact email provided, making it impossible to hold the operators accountable. Furthermore, it has already appeared on phishing watchlists shortly after its creation.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents a simple directory layout titled 'CheatDex,' listing 38 different tools including aimbots and script executors. It links directly to external repositories, primarily on GitHub, without providing any security disclaimers or vetting information for the software it promotes.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted behind a common content delivery network, but the underlying registrar is known for high-volume, low-cost registrations. While it has a valid SSL certificate, this only secures the connection and does not verify the legitimacy of the content being served.

Domain History

The domain was registered on June 25, 2026, making it extremely new at the time of this scan. It has no established history, no global traffic ranking, and was submitted to phishing databases within 72 hours of its registration.

Web Reputation

The site has no presence on independent review aggregators or social media discussions. The lack of a 'digital footprint' combined with its focus on high-risk gaming tools suggests it may be part of a short-lived campaign to distribute malicious files.
Risk Factors
6

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review flags cheatdex.app as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — cheatdex.app scored 25/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. cheatdex.app presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 86 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • cheatdex.app is 3 days old, registered on 6/25/2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 28, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around cheatdex.app have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
