Is kbz0pwvxmv.com legit or a scam?
Phishing clone of Hola VPN using a lookalike domain to distribute malware and harvest credentials.
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 site presents itself as 'Hola | Fast, Secure, and Reliable Proxy Unblocker & VPN' but the domain kbz0pwvxmv.com bears no relationship to the legitimate Hola brand (hola.org). Our scam-network fingerprint confirms this is a clone. Multiple sandbox analyses from Joe Sandbox and ANY.RUN explicitly flag the domain as phishing and malicious, with detected behaviors including AMSI evasion, malware dropping, and credential theft. Five security engines (alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, Criminal IP, DNS8, and Gridinsoft) independently flagged the domain as malicious or phishing. Subdomains linked to this domain (zagent*.kbz0pwvxmv.com, perr.kbz0pwvxmv.com) have been observed in active malware campaigns delivering Hola VPN installer executables. The domain was registered over 1,000 days ago with privacy protection, a common tactic for long-running phishing operations.
