Score breakdown
See the live page ↓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.

Visual analysis
We capture a fresh screenshot of the live page and ask a vision model to look for scam visual patterns — fake trust badges, countdown timers, overlay pop-ups, and visual clones of legitimate brands.
Visual red flags detected in the screenshot
The website appears to be a standard, functional landing page for an online game project with no immediate visual indicators of malicious intent or scam activity.
What our vision model saw
4 signalsThe website presents as a dedicated landing page for a custom online game titled 'Ethernal Blade'.
The layout includes standard gaming community features such as news, guides, rankings, and a download portal.
No suspicious urgency tactics, fake security badges, or intrusive pop-ups are present.
The design appears consistent with typical private game server or indie game project websites.
Intelligence
The site presents itself as a community-run private server for the MMORPG Hero Online, offering leaderboards, patch notes, and a download portal. The domain was registered only 169 days ago on February 5, 2026, through Realtime Register B.V. with no privacy protection. No antivirus engines flagged the site, no scam reports exist in public sources, and the visual layout shows standard gaming features without urgency tactics or fake badges. The complete absence of contact details, business registration, and any verifiable operator information creates the main concern. Private game servers are common in the gaming community, but the combination of a very new domain and zero transparency about who runs the server makes this a moderate-risk proposition.

Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- ethernalblade.com shows strong warning signs of being a scam site — avoid interacting with it. The domain is only 5 months old through Realtime Register B.V. — a fresh registration is a classic scam fingerprint. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
- Proceed with caution — ethernalblade.com scores 59/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend verifying it through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
- If you've already paid or handed over details on ethernalblade.com, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on ethernalblade.com and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
- Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
- Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.
- You can report ethernalblade.com through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
- Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
- No — all 97 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report ethernalblade.com 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.
- No — ethernalblade.com 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.
- ethernalblade.com is 5 months old, registered on February 5, 2026 through Realtime Register B.V.. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
- Yes — ethernalblade.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR1, valid for another 62 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".
- ethernalblade.com resolves to an IP operated by Virtual Systems LLC in UA (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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.
