Is file996740.storage11x.cfd legit or a scam?
A malicious Google Drive clone created 5 days ago to distribute trojanized game installers and malware.
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 was registered only five days ago and is part of a known malware distribution network. It uses a deceptive naming pattern and a low-trust .cfd extension to host pages that impersonate the Google Drive user interface. Our intelligence stack identified that ESET and LevelBlue have already flagged this infrastructure for malware and suspicious activity. The site specifically targets users looking for cracked games, delivering ZIP files that contain data-stealing trojans instead of the promised content. The lack of any legitimate business presence and the use of privacy-protected registration are consistent with disposable attack infrastructure.
