Is id.modcombo.com legit or a scam?
A high-risk Indonesian portal distributing cracked APKs and modded games that are flagged by our malware engines and independent security researchers.
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.
Analysis Summary
Brand impersonation — not the real site
A high-risk Indonesian portal distributing cracked APKs and modded games that are flagged by our malware engines and independent security researchers. This page is styled as a brand but is not the brand's real site. Go to the official site directly, and treat any download, login, or payment request here as unsafe.

MT Intelligence
The site operates as a repository for 'MOD APKs,' which are pirated versions of popular apps modified to unlock premium features for free. Our analysis shows that several security engines flag the domain for hosting malicious objects. Research into the files provided reveals that these downloads are often significantly larger than the official versions, a common sign of bundled spyware or data stealers. The page also uses deceptive branding, cloning elements of the official Minecraft site to gain unearned trust. Furthermore, the lack of any verifiable business registration or contact information is a major red flag for a site handling file downloads.

- Do not interact with id.modcombo.com
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
