Is nocheat.co legit or a scam?
Malicious domain flagged for distributing PowerShell malware and hosting phishing scripts, with multiple detections from Kaspersky and CRDF.
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.
