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.

Confidence
The page mimics the legitimate CrystalDiskInfo software by using the official product name and describing genuine features (S.M.A.R.T monitoring, temperature alerts, multi-language support). However, six antivirus engines—BitDefender, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, SOCRadar, and Chong Lua Dao—independently flag it as phishing. The domain uses a .cn TLD (China) rather than the legitimate software's official channels, lacks verifiable business registration, and the WHOIS data is unavailable, which is typical of throwaway phishing infrastructure. The page redirects across two hops to external domains, a common credential-harvesting pattern. The combination of impersonation, antivirus consensus, and redirect behaviour indicates this is a phishing site designed to trick users into downloading malware or entering credentials.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page presents itself as the official CrystalDiskInfo download portal, complete with feature descriptions, version history, and software comparisons. The content is in simplified Chinese and closely mirrors legitimate software-distribution pages. However, the domain name (crystaldiskinfo.cn) is not the official distribution channel for the real CrystalDiskInfo tool, which is maintained by the original developer.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on IP 43.134.171.15 with a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (81 days to expiry). The IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. However, the WHOIS registration data is unavailable, preventing verification of the domain owner. The page loads external resources from Tailwind CSS, jsDelivr, Baidu Pan, and Baidu analytics—a mix typical of hastily-constructed phishing pages that reuse public CDNs.

Domain History

The domain is not indexed in global traffic rankings, indicating it is either very new or deliberately kept low-profile. No historical registration details are available via WHOIS. The lack of transparency combined with the phishing flags suggests this is a temporary infrastructure asset.

Web Reputation

Six antivirus engines flag this page as phishing: BitDefender, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, SOCRadar, and Chong Lua Dao. Browser blocklists remain clean, and the sandbox did not trigger on the page itself, but the antivirus consensus on phishing intent is strong. No independent trust aggregators have rated this domain.

Risk Factors
7
  • Six antivirus engines flag the page as phishing, including tier-1 detectors BitDefender and CyRadar.
  • Domain impersonates a legitimate software tool (CrystalDiskInfo) but uses an unofficial .cn TLD and lacks official branding.
  • WHOIS registration data unavailable; typical of disposable phishing infrastructure.
  • Page redirects across two hops to external domains, a common credential-harvesting pattern.
  • Not indexed in global traffic rankings; suggests new or deliberately hidden domain.
  • No verifiable business registration, postal address, or legitimate contact information.
  • Loads external analytics (Baidu) and file-sharing services (Baidu Pan, Quark), consistent with phishing-page construction.
Positive Signals
3
  • SSL certificate is valid and issued by Let's Encrypt.
  • Hosting IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score.
  • Page does not contain obvious malware payloads detected by our sandbox.
AI Recommendation
Do not download software from this domain. If you need CrystalDiskInfo, visit the official developer's website or download from trusted software repositories. If you have already downloaded a file from this site, scan it with antivirus software before running it.
