Is dtale.co legit or a scam?
Malware distribution site flagged by 13 antivirus engines and browser blocklists as unwanted software.
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
Our antivirus network detected malware on dtale.co with 13 of 92 engines flagging it as malicious, including BitDefender, CyRadar, ADMINUSLabs, and Chong Lua Dao. Major browser blocklists have also flagged the domain as unwanted software, a classification reserved for pages that distribute malicious code or potentially unwanted programs. The site presents itself as a design/web services business ("D'tale — You vision; We shape") but this appears to be a cover for malware distribution. The hosting IP has no abuse history, suggesting the infrastructure itself may be compromised or recently repurposed. The SSL certificate is valid but recent (68 days to expiry), a common pattern for quickly-deployed malicious sites.
