Is minecraftcompanionmod.netlify.app legit or a scam?
Fake Minecraft mod promotional site on a 0-day-old Netlify subdomain that clones the official brand.
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.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The page presents itself as an official Minecraft mod offering an AI companion but runs on a domain created today with no business records. Our analysis flags clear brand impersonation of Minecraft on a non-official free hosting platform. The hosting IP shows minor abuse history while the site lacks any contact details or legitimate mod listings on known platforms. Independent sources including Reddit discussions and YouTube references treat the link as suspicious and note the original domain was previously seized. These signals together outweigh the clean antivirus scan and produce a high-risk profile.

- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
