Confidence

While this was once the primary domain for a popular streaming service, it was officially shut down in August 2020 due to copyright issues. Our analysis shows the domain is currently parked on third-party servers and listed for sale, but it continues to trigger security detections. Multiple antivirus partners, including Sophos and ADMINUSLabs, flag the site for malware and malicious behavior. Historical data and community reports confirm the site was notorious for aggressive adware and browser-hijacking scripts. Any current activity on this specific URL should be treated as a significant security risk.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site currently fails to load any functional content, returning a 403 Forbidden error or displaying a parked page notice. Visual analysis confirms there is no longer a streaming interface, only a placeholder indicating the domain is for sale.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted on an IP with a history of abuse reports and currently uses nameservers associated with domain parking services. The lack of a valid SSL certificate and the absence of a functional web server suggest the original infrastructure has been dismantled.

Domain History

Registered in 2016, this domain was the 'official' home of KissAnime until its 2020 demise. Since the shutdown, it has transitioned from a goodbye message to a parked state, frequently targeted by malicious actors to redirect traffic to scam mirrors.

Web Reputation

The reputation is overwhelmingly negative across security circles. Our antivirus network shows 7 different engines flagging the site as malicious or suspicious. Security forums and independent researchers have documented the site's use of 'ScrInject' and other adware scripts designed to compromise user browsers.

Risk Factors

Multiple antivirus engines including Sophos and BitDefender flag the domain as malicious.
The original service shut down in 2020; any current activity is an impersonation or a risk.
Historical reports of adware, Trojans, and browser-hijacking scripts.
The domain is currently parked and lacks a valid SSL certificate.
High volume of abuse reports associated with the hosting IP address.

Positive Signals

The domain has a long history (registered in 2016), though its current use is malicious.

AI Recommendation

Do not attempt to visit this site or download any files associated with it. The original service is gone, and the current domain is a known vector for malware and aggressive adware.
