Is flic.kr safe to use?

flic.kr passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 96/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.

Does flic.kr have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. flic.kr presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M01, expiring in 194 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

Has flic.kr been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report flic.kr as clean.

Is flic.kr on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. flic.kr is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is flic.kr hosted?

flic.kr resolves to an IP operated by Amazon.com, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

Is flic.kr a well-known website?

Yes. flic.kr sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 21, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on flic.kr and not a lookalike like f-lic.kr.com or an IDN homoglyph.
Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
