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.

Visual red flags detected in the screenshot

The site appears to be a standard, functional torrent index. While torrent sites often host third-party advertisements that may be risky, the page itself displays no immediate signs of a phishing or malware scam.

Editorial security brief
Intelligence
Elevated risktrust57/100
75%
Confidence
The site presents itself as a functional anime and manga torrent index that mirrors the established nyaa.si platform. No antivirus engine flagged the page and browser blocklists are clean. The domain itself is only 81 days old and the page loads scripts from sanityblindnesshalfmoon.com, an external domain with no reputation data. The evidence package confirms this is a recognised mirror rather than an original site, and the operator has no visible business registration. Torrent sites carry inherent legal and security risks from third-party ads and user uploads, so the combination of recent registration and unknown external scripts raises the risk level.
Risk Factors
3
  • Domain registered only 81 days ago with no established history.
  • Page loads scripts from sanityblindnesshalfmoon.com, an external domain with no reputation data.
  • Operates as a clone of nyaa.si without visible business registration.
Positive Signals
3
  • Zero detections across 92 antivirus engines and clean browser blocklist status.
  • Valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt.
  • Page layout matches expected torrent index functionality with no phishing elements.
Investigation notes

Page Content

The captured page displays a standard torrent index layout with categories for anime, manga, music, and software. Listings show recent uploads with file sizes, dates, and seed/peer counts. No login forms, countdown timers, or deceptive pop-ups are present.

Infrastructure

The site runs on IP 37.19.207.38 with a clean abuse score and valid Let's Encrypt certificate. It loads resources from googletagmanager.com, cdnjs.cloudflare.com, twitter.com, and the unknown domain sanityblindnesshalfmoon.com. No redirects occur.

Domain History

The domain nyaa.one was registered 81 days ago through Dynadot Inc with privacy protection disabled. No prior history or business registration appears in the evidence package.

Web Reputation

Zero scam reports or complaints were found across searched databases. The evidence package identifies the site as a known mirror of nyaa.si within the anime torrent community, with no formal business entity behind it.

What this means for you

The site functions as intended for torrent indexing but carries the usual risks of file-sharing platforms plus the added uncertainty of a very new domain and unknown external scripts. Avoid downloading files or clicking ads if you are concerned about malware or legal exposure.

Recommendation
If you need anime torrents, use the established nyaa.si domain instead. Avoid clicking ads or downloading files from any mirror unless you have strong antivirus protection.

Key findings
5 headline facts from open-web research
  • Nyaa.one is a torrent indexer site focused on anime, manga, and music, similar to other Nyaa-branded sites.
  • The site is widely considered a mirror or clone of the Nyaa Torrents network, which has historically operated through various domain iterations after the original site shut down in 2017.
  • Users frequently discuss nyaa.one alongside nyaa.si in the context of anime piracy and torrenting, often using them interchangeably or as backups for one another.
  • There is no evidence of a legitimate business entity behind the site; it functions as a community-driven or decentralized torrent index.
  • The site's content is user-uploaded and consists of magnet links and torrent files rather than direct hosting of copyrighted media.
Impersonation / typosquat
Clone of nyaa.si

Nyaa.one is a mirror or clone of the original Nyaa Torrents ecosystem. The community widely recognizes nyaa.si as the primary successor to the defunct original Nyaa sites (nyaa.se, etc.), while nyaa.one is frequently referenced as an alternative or mirror site.

Research summary
Editorial synthesis of the sourced facts above
We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for nyaa.one and didn't find scam reports or complaints. For a new or low-traffic site this is expected and is not by itself a sign of trust.

Technical Details

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.

Contact Verification

We fetched the page and looked for real-world contact details. Legitimate businesses almost always publish an email on their own domain, a phone number, and a postal address. Scam shops usually don't.

What to do

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  • Treat nyaa.one as unverified

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

  • Verify the business through independent channels

    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.

  • Share your experience

    If you have additional context, drop a comment below or post on the MalwareTips forum.

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • nyaa.one raises serious red flags as a scam site — avoid interacting with it. Our review tagged it for clone site. The domain is only 2 months old through Dynadot Inc — a fresh registration is a classic scam fingerprint. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
  • Proceed with caution — nyaa.one scores 57/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend verifying it through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
  • If you've already paid or handed over details on nyaa.one, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on nyaa.one and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
  • Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
  • Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.
  • You can report nyaa.one through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
  • Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
  • No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report nyaa.one as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
  • No — nyaa.one 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.
  • nyaa.one is 2 months old, registered on May 5, 2026 through Dynadot Inc. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
  • Yes — nyaa.one presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE1, valid for another 85 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".
  • nyaa.one resolves to an IP operated by Datacamp Limited 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.
