Is hianime.ba safe?

http://hianime.ba/

Moderate RiskStatus

Coveragestrong3 of 4 applicable core capabilities

Verdict

HiAnime.ba is an unlicensed anime streaming site that relies on third-party ads and provides no operator contact details.

The site offers unauthorized access to copyrighted anime through a search-and-watch interface, funded by a single ad placement that the operator claims to monitor. No registration, payment, or contact information is disclosed, leaving users exposed to whatever ads the third-party networks serve.

Treat the site as high-risk for intrusive or malicious ads; use an ad blocker and avoid entering any personal or payment information.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

What the site offers

A prominent 'Watch anime' button and search bar let visitors locate and stream subbed or dubbed titles in HD without creating an account.

The operator states the service is free and financed by a single ad slot that is scanned '24/7' to keep it clean.

Operator accountability

No email address, physical address, or registration details appear on the captured pages.

The site explicitly notes it does not host files itself and instead links to third-party services, further distancing the operator from content responsibility.

Why the score is 45

HiAnime is a free site to watch anime... By having only one ads in all kinds, we are trying to make it the safest site for free anime. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Aggressive ads and redirects

Observed behavior includes unrelated pop-ups or redirects, notification prompts, or deceptive download controls. These are the primary risk unless the evidence separately proves a more serious mechanism.

Treat hianime.ba as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
Close unexpected tabs and deny notification requests
Do not follow an unrelated landing page, click "Allow notifications", or install a player, codec, browser extension, or update offered through an advert.
If you clicked "Allow", turn the notifications back off
Open your browser's Site Settings → Notifications, find the site, and set it to Block (or remove it). That stops the spam pop-ups it now pushes to your desktop.
Remove anything installed through an advert
Uninstall any browser extension, player, codec, or app added because of a pop-up, then run a reputable adware and malware scan. Do not call support numbers shown by unrelated landing pages.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is hianime.ba a scam or is it safe?

There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give hianime.ba a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. Until it can be independently verified, don't enter passwords, card details, or send money, and confirm the company through channels you find yourself rather than links on the site.

Is hianime.ba safe to use?

hianime.ba has a Safety Score of 45/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 82%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.

Has hianime.ba been flagged by antivirus engines?

No — all 65 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network that rated it reported hianime.ba as clean in the saved analysis from July 13, 2025. 32 other engines had no rating for it. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.

Is hianime.ba on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — hianime.ba is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.

Does hianime.ba have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes — hianime.ba presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE1, valid for another 71 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".

Where is hianime.ba hosted?

hianime.ba resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.

How often is the hianime.ba report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on October 13, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about hianime.ba has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
