Investigation Brief

kemono.com resolves to a parked domain page stating it may be for sale. No credential collection, downloads, redirects, or deceptive elements observed. Stale antivirus flags exist from partial VirusTotal data but Google Safe Browsing reports clean and the hosting IP shows zero abuse reports.

What the site displays

The captured page is a minimal dark-themed parking notice from a domain registrar service. It offers generic links and notes the domain may be available for purchase. No login forms, downloads, or external content beyond standard footer links appear.

Strongest signals and limitations

Domain registered in 2002 (8879 days old) with clean IP reputation (abuse score 0). Safe Browsing returned no warnings. VirusTotal shows 4 malicious and 2 suspicious engines but the scan is stale (over 173 hours old) with no fresh corroboration. TLS validation failed but this is common for parked domains.

No evidence of phishing, malware delivery, or impersonation on the live page. Related kemono.* domains appear in piracy discussions but kemono.com itself shows no operational harmful activity.

Practical user impact

Visiting the domain poses negligible risk. Users seeking the popular kemono.party archive should note this is an unrelated parked domain and not a functional site or mirror.

Why the score is 72

Saved antivirus evidence is adverse but is not fresh enough for a current conviction. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before you trust

We couldn't gather enough signal for a confident verdict — tread carefully.

  • Find the company through independent channels

    Search for the business on LinkedIn, an official registry (Companies House, OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR), or via the brand's known social channels. If you can't trace a real entity, that itself is a red flag.

  • Never pay by crypto, gift card, or bank transfer

    If the site forces an irreversible payment method, stop. Cards and PayPal give you chargeback protection — irreversible methods don't.

  • Ask the forum

    Post the URL in the MalwareTips Scam Reports forum — experienced members often recognise patterns immediately.

08 · 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 kemono.com a scam or is it safe?
kemono.com has a Safety Score of 72/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is kemono.com safe to use?
kemono.com has a Safety Score of 72/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is partial at 74%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has kemono.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 6 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged kemono.com, 4 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is kemono.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — kemono.com 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.
How old is the kemono.com domain?
kemono.com is 24.3 years old, registered on April 9, 2002 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does kemono.com have a valid SSL certificate?
No — kemono.com has an invalid or broken SSL certificate, so browsers will show a security warning. Combined with the other signals, we recommend avoiding it.
Where is kemono.com hosted?
kemono.com resolves to an IP operated by Trellian Pty. Limited 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 kemono.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 1, 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 kemono.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
