Is myartes.com legit or a scam?
A 2-day-old art portfolio site that distributes malware via a hidden download link, recently flagged by security researchers.
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.

MT Intelligence
The domain was registered only two days ago and immediately began hosting malicious content. Our research identified a specific malware sample, 'artes.zip', being distributed from the site's download directory. While the page looks like a harmless personal blog for a 19-year-old artist, this is a common 'lure' used to trick users into downloading infected files. Gridinsoft has already flagged the site as suspicious, and the malware research community has linked it to active threat campaigns. The lack of any verifiable business or contact information further confirms its malicious intent.

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 flags myartes.com as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
- No — myartes.com scored 17/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
- Yes. myartes.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE1, expiring in 87 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
- myartes.com is 2 days old, registered on 6/16/2026 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

- No. myartes.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
- myartes.com resolves to an IP operated by Hostinger International Limited in BR (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
- This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 19, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around myartes.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
