Crypto-mining infrastructure host listed in a mining threat feed, not a site for visitors
donate.graef.in is not a normal website. The XMRigCC project's documentation lists this address, on port 80, in its mining software configuration. A public security blocklist names related hosts on the same domain in its cryptocurrency-mining list, and three antivirus vendors have flagged the address. The site's own pages could not be reviewed because the server did not answer. There is no evidence of phishing or a scam aimed at shoppers. The score reflects the address's role as mining infrastructure: if your device is contacting it without your knowledge, that may point to unwanted mining software.

Where this site sits
- Dangerous1–20
- High Risk21–44
- Moderate Risk45–69
- Low Risk70–84
- Safe85–100
The score combines saved evidence strength and analysis quality. Coverage is reported separately.
Why 40/100
High Risk covers scores 21–44. 1 finding pulled the score down; 2 pushed it up.
What pulled the score down
- Strong3 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe browser threat feed returned no threat warning
- SupportsThe registrable domain is 4732 days old (graef.in, the parent domain of this subdomain host; it does not show how long the subdomain itself has existed)
No points per finding are stored for this report: our analysis weighed all findings together to set the score. Each finding shows its saved severity instead (Decisive, Strong, Moderate or Minor). Community reviews never change the Safety Score.
Lost money or shared details on donate.graef.in? Do this now
Act quickly: the first hours matter most for a chargeback.
- Call your bank or card issuer now
Ask them to dispute the charge or open a chargeback; the sooner you act, the better your odds. Card payments can often be reversed. Bank transfers and gift cards are harder, but report them to your bank too. Crypto payments usually cannot be reversed: report the wallet address and transaction ID to the exchange you sent from.
- Change any password you entered
If you entered a password on donate.graef.in, change it there and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. Keep screenshots, order confirmations and messages as evidence.
- Report the site
Reports help get scam sites taken down faster and warn other people.
- Report the domain to its registrar
1&1 IONOS SE takes abuse reports at info@ionos.de (+49.2602961280). Include the address and what happened.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your money
"Recovery" services or agents who contact you, or ask for a fee up front, are almost always a second scam aimed at victims. Your bank's dispute process and the official reporting services never charge a fee in advance.

01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
donate.graef.in is not a normal website. The XMRigCC project's documentation lists this address, on port 80, in its mining software configuration. A public security blocklist names related hosts on the same domain in its cryptocurrency-mining list, and three antivirus vendors have flagged the address. The site's own pages could not be reviewed because the server did not answer. There is no evidence of phishing or a scam aimed at shoppers. The score reflects the address's role as mining infrastructure: if your device is contacting it without your knowledge, that may point to unwanted mining software.
Why this address is flagged
The XMRigCC wiki uses donate.graef.in:80 in its configuration for the miner software. This means the address works as a back-end endpoint for mining tools rather than as a page for people to browse.
The Maltrail threat list includes donate2.graef.in and xmrigcc.graef.in in its suspicious crypto-mining trails. Three antivirus vendors also reported an adverse result in a saved, older analysis.
Technical risk versus visitor risk
The browser threat feed showed no warning, and the parent domain graef.in is about 13 years old. Neither fact covers what this subdomain is used for.
The address did not respond, and the screenshot showed only a 'proxy upstream failed' message. Its HTTPS connection used a self-signed certificate. No shop, login form or download was observed.
Why the score is 40
3 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Investigation story
What the site claims
No page claim could be verified for donate.graef.in because no usable page content or saved capture was available.

The page itself could not be fully inspected, so the report relies on the other saved checks.
What independent research found
2 external findings were saved and compared with the page evidence.
What remains unverified
2 of the 6 applicable core capabilities did not complete, so those gaps remain visible in the coverage ledger.
Web research findings
Independent findings for donate.graef.in, including public complaints, named review sources, registration records, and look-alike-domain evidence. A missing result is shown as unverified, never converted into a clean bill of health.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
