Is gostik.xyz legit or a scam?
A 9-day-old unit converter tool flagged for phishing and spam by multiple security engines despite its professional appearance.
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 9 days ago, which is a common characteristic of temporary sites used for malicious purposes. Our antivirus network shows that SOCRadar and Fortinet have already flagged the site for phishing and spam activities. Although the visual interface looks like a legitimate 'Practical Toolkit' for unit conversions, there is no verifiable business registration or owner information available. The registrar used has a history of hosting infrastructure for cybercrime, further increasing the risk profile. Because the site is so new, the lack of widespread user complaints is expected and does not indicate it is safe.
