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.

Confidence
The site presents as a legitimate portfolio for Matías Martínez, featuring high-quality design mockups and a history of professional projects. However, our security analysis shows that six different antivirus engines, including Webroot, CyRadar, and VIPRE, have flagged the domain as malicious or related to malware. Research indicates that specific subpages, such as a meme video directory, have been associated with suspicious activity in sandbox environments. While the main page appears clean to the eye, these technical flags often indicate the domain is being used for 'hotlinking' malicious scripts or hosting hidden redirects. Because the site lacks a clear business registration and has been flagged by major communication platforms like Discord, we have assigned a suspicious rating.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site serves as a personal landing page for a designer from Chile, showcasing a timeline of work from 2009 to 2024. It includes links to social media profiles and mentions involvement in notable projects like Cornershop. No aggressive marketing or typical scam indicators were found in the visual layout.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted behind a common content delivery network with a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. While the hosting IP itself has a clean reputation, the domain has been blacklisted by several specialized security providers.

Domain History

The domain has been registered since 2008, which usually suggests high trust. However, historical data shows that specific subdirectories have been used to host content that triggers malware alerts in automated sandboxes, leading to its current flagged status.

Web Reputation

Independent security aggregators show very low trust scores for this domain. While some users on community forums like Reddit report the site is safe to visit, the consensus among professional security engines is that the domain carries a high risk of phishing or malware distribution.

Proceed with caution

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

  • Treat matias.me 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 about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review marked matias.me as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.
  • matias.me currently scores 30/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
  • Yes. matias.me presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 72 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • 7 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged matias.me as malicious or suspicious (6 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. matias.me is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on July 3, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around matias.me have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
