Investigation Brief

The site at https://link.infini.fr/ is a functional URL shortening service run by Luc Didry since 2013 under the WTFPL license. The captured page shows only a standard shortening form with no credential collection, downloads, or deceptive elements. Google Safe Browsing reports no threats and TLS is valid.

What the site appears to do

It provides a basic web form accepting a URL to shorten and optional custom text. Footer links confirm the operator (Luc Didry via fiat-tux.fr), project license (WTFPL), and documentation on Framagit. External domains are limited to the operator's known sites.

Strongest evidence and limitations

Page content analysis found no credential-harvest forms or harmful behaviors. IP reputation is clean (0 abuse reports). Safe Browsing and TLS checks are fully supportive. VirusTotal shows 7/92 engines flagging phishing or malicious, but the result is stale and contradicted by the clean page, Safe Browsing, and operator transparency.

Practical user impact

The service is a standard self-hosted lstu instance. Users face only normal short-link risks; no site-specific malware, phishing, or deceptive monetization is observed.

Why the score is 78

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.

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 link.infini.fr a scam or is it safe?
link.infini.fr has a Safety Score of 78/100 (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 link.infini.fr safe to use?
link.infini.fr has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 75%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has link.infini.fr been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 7 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged link.infini.fr, 7 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 link.infini.fr on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — link.infini.fr 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.
Does link.infini.fr have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — link.infini.fr presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by SSL2BUY EMEA LLC · SSL2BUY EMEA RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA, valid for another 79 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".
Where is link.infini.fr hosted?
link.infini.fr resolves to an IP operated by XANKOM SARL in FR (Fixed Line ISP). 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 link.infini.fr report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on July 31, 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 link.infini.fr has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
