Illegal movie-streaming site flagged by 5 antivirus engines as malware distributor with 2/100 trust score.

Independent trust aggregators rate it 2/100, citing hidden ownership, illegal pirated content, and confirmed malware distribution.

User reports on Reddit corroborate malware spread and content theft, though a small minority claim safety with ad-blockers—a false sense of security that does not mitigate the underlying malware threat.
