Is filecrypt.cc legit or a scam?
12-year-old file container site with repeated user reports of redirects to suspicious pages and malware detections.

Intelligence
The domain has operated since 2014 with a clean browser blocklist record and valid SSL. One antivirus engine flagged the page as malicious while 91 others did not. User complaints on Reddit and ESET forums describe the site skipping captchas and forwarding visitors to pages pushing shady browser extensions. Sandbox analyses have flagged the CAPTCHA implementation on filecrypt.cc as hosted on a suspicious domain. The service functions as a DLC container and Click'n Load tool popular in piracy circles, which explains both the traffic and the negative reports. No business registration records exist, and the owner identity remains hidden behind privacy protection.
