Investigation Brief

Nyaa.land is a BitTorrent index focused on Eastern Asian anime, manga and related media. The site displays a prominent affiliate banner promising $600-$2700 monthly earnings from privateiptvaccess.to referrals. Technical signals are clean with valid TLS and no malware detections, but the core activity is unauthorized distribution of copyrighted content.

What the site appears to do

Provides searchable torrent listings for anime episodes, music, literature and software with direct magnet/download links. A large promotional banner advertises an IPTV affiliate program with claimed earnings and a link to privateiptvaccess.to.

Decisive evidence

Page content shows hundreds of recent anime torrent entries with file sizes and seed/peer counts. The affiliate banner explicitly offers 30% commission plus recurring revenue. VirusTotal reports one stale suspicious flag; Safe Browsing and TLS checks are clean.

Practical user impact

Users downloading torrents risk copyright notices or legal action. Clicking the affiliate link leads to an IPTV service of unknown legitimacy. No malware, phishing or forced downloads observed on the scanned page.

Why the score is 52

The saved analysis does not include enough completed checks for a Safe rating. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

  • Analyst recommendation

    Avoid torrent downloads to prevent copyright issues. Do not join the displayed IPTV affiliate program without independent verification of the linked service.

  • Treat nyaa.land as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  • Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

08 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is nyaa.land a scam or is it safe?
There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give nyaa.land a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. Until it can be independently verified, don't enter passwords, card details, or send money, and confirm the company through channels you find yourself rather than links on the site.
Is nyaa.land safe to use?
nyaa.land has a Safety Score of 52/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 75%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.
Has nyaa.land been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged nyaa.land as suspicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is nyaa.land on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — nyaa.land is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
Does nyaa.land have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — nyaa.land presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 80 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is nyaa.land hosted?
nyaa.land resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
Is nyaa.land a well-known website?
Yes — nyaa.land ranks in the global top 100,000 most-visited sites, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. Genuine popularity doesn't automatically make a site safe, but throwaway scam domains almost never reach this level of traffic, so it's a meaningful point in the site's favour.
How often is the nyaa.land report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on July 30, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about nyaa.land has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
