Why 35/100
High Risk covers scores 21–44. 1 finding pulled the score down; 3 pushed it up.
What pulled the score down
- Strong3 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe browser threat feed returned no threat warning.
- SupportsTLS certificate is valid.
- SupportsDomain is 2356 days old.
No points per finding are stored for this report: our analysis weighed all findings together to set the score. Each finding shows its saved severity instead (Decisive, Strong, Moderate or Minor). Community reviews never change the Safety Score.
Lost money or shared details on modder.me? Do this now
Act quickly: the first hours matter most for a chargeback.
- Call your bank or card issuer now
Ask them to dispute the charge or open a chargeback; the sooner you act, the better your odds. Card payments can often be reversed. Bank transfers and gift cards are harder, but report them to your bank too. Crypto payments usually cannot be reversed: report the wallet address and transaction ID to the exchange you sent from.
- Change any password you entered
If you entered a password on modder.me, change it there and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. Keep screenshots, order confirmations and messages as evidence.
- Report the site
Reports help get scam sites taken down faster and warn other people.
- Report the domain to its registrar
NameSilo, LLC registered this domain. ICANN's lookup shows the registrar's abuse contact.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your money
"Recovery" services or agents who contact you, or ask for a fee up front, are almost always a second scam aimed at victims. Your bank's dispute process and the official reporting services never charge a fee in advance.

01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
The site offers MOD APK downloads for popular Android games and apps. Three independent antivirus families have flagged the domain as malicious or suspicious, and the site itself states it provides modified versions that bypass premium restrictions.
Antivirus detections and site content
Three separate antivirus families (alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, Webroot) have flagged the domain for hosting potentially malicious software.
The site presents itself as a repository for MOD APK files, which are modified versions of legitimate Android applications designed to bypass premium paywalls.
Technical signals versus operator risk
The browser threat feed shows no active warning and the TLS certificate is valid, yet these clean technical checks do not override the malware distribution risk indicated by the antivirus detections.
The domain is over six years old, but age alone does not reduce the risk when the site’s primary purpose is distributing modified Android packages.
Why the score is 35
3 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

If this is a scam — what it means for you
What happens when a visitor downloads
A visitor clicks a download link for a MOD APK file advertised on the site.
If this is a scam, how it works
The evidence-backed path
Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.
The downloaded file is a modified Android package that multiple antivirus engines have flagged as malicious or suspicious.
Installing the package can expose the device to malware, spyware, or adware bundled inside the modified app.
Do not download or install any APK files from this site. Use only official app stores for Android applications.
Web research findings
Independent findings for modder.me, including public complaints, named review sources, registration records, and look-alike-domain evidence. A missing result is shown as unverified, never converted into a clean bill of health.
No independently sourced scam reports or credibility records were found for modder.me. That is common for new or low-traffic sites and does not clear the site.

04 · Domain & Infrastructure
Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

- Oct 16, 2026Saved security review — Rated High Risk
The completed checks from this saved scan are detailed above.
modder.me is an established domain now carrying threat signals. An older domain that starts tripping security checks is a classic pattern for an asset that was sold, repurposed, or compromised — the age alone is not reassurance.
Contact Verification
Saved contact details can help identify the operator. Their presence supports traceability; it does not prove the business is trustworthy.
- No direct contact email found on the captured page.
- Phone number listed (1.90.2270).
Domain & Encryption
Cloudflare DNS is used by legitimate and scam sites alike, so it does not identify who runs the site.
Certificate issued for modder.me.
A shared Cloudflare address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.
