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.

Editorial security brief

75%
Confidence
The domain kinozal.guru has been registered since 2017 and shows zero antivirus detections across 92 engines. The page presents a standard login form for a Russian-language torrent tracker that mirrors the established kinozal.tv platform. Evidence confirms this is a community-driven site used to bypass regional blocking rather than a fraudulent operation. However, the site distributes copyrighted material without authorization and lacks any visible business registration or contact information. The combination of credential collection and illegal content distribution places it in the suspicious category despite clean technical signals.
Risk Factors
3
  • Site requires login credentials for a platform distributing copyrighted material without authorization.
  • No business registration or contact information is provided despite operating as a content distribution service.
  • The site functions as a mirror for a known torrent platform frequently blocked for copyright violations.
Positive Signals
3
  • Domain registered 8.8 years ago with clean WHOIS history.
  • Zero detections across 92 antivirus engines and clean browser blocklist status.
  • Valid SSL certificate from Google Trust Services with no abuse reports on hosting IP.
Investigation notes

Page Content

The captured page displays a Russian-language login portal titled "Вход :: Кинозал.GURU" with fields for username and password. The meta description identifies the site as a torrent tracker offering films, series, cartoons, books, and music for free download. No contact email, phone number, or physical address appears anywhere on the page.

Infrastructure

The site runs on IP 104.21.25.173 with a clean abuse score of 0/100 and valid SSL issued by Google Trust Services. Two external domains load: deltarockme.com and static.cloudflareinsights.com. The domain uses Cloudflare hosting and shows no redirect chains beyond the two hops recorded.

Domain History

WHOIS records show the domain was registered on 2017-09-18 through GoDaddy.com, LLC, making it 8.8 years old. Privacy protection is disabled, though no owner details are publicly visible. The domain ranks outside the global top 200,000 sites.

Web Reputation

No scam reports, complaints, or positive reviews were located across searched databases. The domain is documented as an alternative address for the established kinozal.tv torrent tracker and appears in browser extension scripts targeting that platform. Automated security tools classify it as safe, citing Cloudflare hosting.

What this means for you

Entering credentials on this site sends your login details to a torrent tracker that distributes copyrighted material. While the domain itself is not distributing malware, the illegal nature of the content and the requirement to provide login information create legal and privacy risks for users.

Recommendation
Do not enter login credentials or personal information. The site distributes copyrighted material illegally and collecting login details for such services carries legal and privacy risks.

    This scan re-ran every check; the current findings are detailed above.

kinozal.guru is an established domain now carrying threat signals. An older domain that starts tripping security checks is a classic pattern for an asset that was sold, repurposed, or compromised — the age alone is not reassurance.

Technical Details

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.

Contact Verification

We fetched the page and looked for real-world contact details. Legitimate businesses almost always publish an email on their own domain, a phone number, and a postal address. Scam shops usually don't.

What to do

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  • Treat kinozal.guru as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  • Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  • Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • kinozal.guru shows strong warning signs of being a scam site — avoid interacting with it. The domain is 8.9 years old through GoDaddy.com, LLC. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
  • Proceed with caution — kinozal.guru scores 59/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend verifying it through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
  • If you've already paid or handed over details on kinozal.guru, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on kinozal.guru and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
  • Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
  • Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.
  • You can report kinozal.guru through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
  • Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
  • No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report kinozal.guru as clean. 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.
  • No — kinozal.guru 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.
  • kinozal.guru is 8.9 years old, registered on September 18, 2017 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.
  • Yes — kinozal.guru presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 40 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".
  • kinozal.guru 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.
