ImageTwist is a long-running image host with a documented DMCA complaint, but its own pages were never reviewed
ImageTwist (img401.imagetwist.com) is an image hosting service that has been online for many years and currently shows no security-vendor threat warnings. The strongest adverse signal is a public complaint that a formal DMCA takedown notice was ignored despite the site publishing a DMCA policy. Because the site's own contact, About and policy pages were not read in full, the operator's identity and customer-facing terms remain unverified, so this is a Moderate Risk rating rather than a clean bill of health.

01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
ImageTwist (img401.imagetwist.com) is an image hosting service that has been online for many years and currently shows no security-vendor threat warnings. The strongest adverse signal is a public complaint that a formal DMCA takedown notice was ignored despite the site publishing a DMCA policy. Because the site's own contact, About and policy pages were not read in full, the operator's identity and customer-facing terms remain unverified, so this is a Moderate Risk rating rather than a clean bill of health.
What the evidence actually shows
The registrable domain is 6586 days old, placing ImageTwist among long-established image hosts rather than a freshly registered shell. The browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, so there is no evidence of active malware, phishing or interception on this host.
The one adverse item is a public complaint stating that a formal DMCA notification was sent asking for pictures to be removed, and that the site took no action even though it publishes a DMCA paragraph. That is a copyright-enforcement and responsiveness concern, not proof of malware or of a payment scam.
Operator and customer-facing terms remain unverified
The site's own contact details were not reviewed because the page text was not read in full. That means the operator's identity, the terms attached to a member account, and the handling of uploaded content could not be checked against the site's own statements.
The visible page presents a registration prompt and the ImageTwist brand, indicating an account-based hosting model, but the exact commercial terms behind that account were not established from the reviewed material.
Why the score is 62
One customer complaint on a public review site: "I have send them a formal complaint (DMCA notification) and asked to remove my pictures. They do not take action even though they have a DMCA paragraph on…". Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

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.
