Is dash.autorefresh.site legit or a scam?
A suspicious redirector domain flagged for malware by Fortinet, featuring a tracking-link structure and no legitimate business information.
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.

MT Intelligence
The domain exhibits several characteristics of a malicious redirector or traffic-distribution system. Fortinet has explicitly flagged the site as malware, which is a high-priority signal. The page itself contains no functional content, offering only a single link that appends tracking parameters to the user's session. Our research indicates the domain uses a TLD frequently abused for malicious activity and lacks any public business registration or contact details. The absence of a global traffic rank suggests this is an ephemeral site used for targeted campaigns rather than a public service.
