Investigation Brief
gogoanime.by is a replica of the shut-down GogoAnime piracy platform offering free English-subbed/dubbed anime streaming and downloads. VirusTotal flags it malicious on 3/92 engines with 2 suspicious; Google Safe Browsing clean. No popups or credential harvesting observed on the captured page.
What the site appears to do
Hosts a searchable catalog of ongoing and completed anime TV shows and movies with episode lists, summaries, genres, and direct streaming links. Navigation includes Home, Schedule, Bookmark, TV Series, Movies, filters by genre/status/type, and latest releases.
Decisive evidence
VirusTotal reports 3 malicious detections (ADMINUSLabs, Chong Lua Dao, Webroot) and 2 suspicious (alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft) on a fresh scan of 92 engines. The site self-describes as the new address after the original GogoAnime was shut down for piracy violations.
Practical user impact
Users face legal copyright risks plus elevated malware exposure typical of piracy streaming domains. No account required; external analytics and image hosts present. TLS is valid and Safe Browsing reports no threat.
Why the score is 28
2 independent antivirus familyies reported an adverse result. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
