Is minet.vn legit or a scam?
Vietnamese hosting provider minet.vn is flagged for malware distribution and botnet activity across multiple subdomains.
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.
