01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

Cineby.im is a movie and TV discovery and streaming site that displays trending titles including Spider-Man: Brand New Day and multiple TV shows. The page loads content from image.tmdb.org and other CDNs. Browser behavior recorded a popup to omg10.com after a Play interaction. No credential forms, downloads, or wallet prompts were observed. the multi-engine malware scan returned 0 malicious detections out of 92 engines.

What the site appears to do

Cineby.im presents itself as a streaming and discovery platform for movies and TV shows. The homepage shows a large Spider-Man: Brand New Day hero banner with Play and See More buttons, followed by Trending Today and TV Shows Airing This Week carousels listing titles such as The Odyssey, Lioness, House of the Dragon, and various anime and K-dramas.

Strongest evidence and limitations

The only concrete adverse observation is a cross-domain popup to omg10.com triggered by clicking Play on the Spider-Man banner. The hosting IP shows zero abuse reports. the multi-engine malware scan reports 0 malicious and 0 suspicious detections. No login forms, download buttons, or payment flows were recorded on the scanned page. The domain uses Cloudflare with valid TLS issued in July 2026.

Practical user impact

Users may encounter intrusive pop-up ads when attempting to play content. The site does not collect credentials or prompt for downloads in the observed flow. Content appears sourced from public TMDB metadata rather than official studio streams. No evidence of malware distribution or account takeover was found on this visit.

Why the score is 52

A primary play, convert, continue, or download control opened an unrelated external destination. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Aggressive ads and redirects

Observed behavior includes unrelated pop-ups or redirects, notification prompts, or deceptive download controls. These are the primary risk unless the evidence separately proves a more serious mechanism.

  1. Treat cineby.im as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  2. Close unexpected tabs and deny notification requests

    Do not follow an unrelated landing page, click "Allow notifications", or install a player, codec, browser extension, or update offered through an advert.

  3. If you clicked "Allow", turn the notifications back off

    Open your browser's Site Settings → Notifications, find the site, and set it to Block (or remove it). That stops the spam pop-ups it now pushes to your desktop.

  4. Remove anything installed through an advert

    Uninstall any browser extension, player, codec, or app added because of a pop-up, then run a reputable adware and malware scan. Do not call support numbers shown by unrelated landing pages.

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 cineby.im a scam or is it safe?
There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give cineby.im a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. Until it can be independently verified, don't enter passwords, card details, or send money, and confirm the company through channels you find yourself rather than links on the site.
Is cineby.im safe to use?
cineby.im has a Safety Score of 52/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 85%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.
Has cineby.im been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report cineby.im as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is cineby.im on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — cineby.im 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.
Does cineby.im have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — cineby.im presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 79 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".
Where is cineby.im hosted?
cineby.im resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). 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 cineby.im report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 4, 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 cineby.im has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
