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.

Confidence
The site impersonates Picsart's legitimate app by offering a 'MOD APK' version with premium features unlocked for free. Three antivirus engines (alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, SOCRadar) flag it as malicious or phishing, and Gridinsoft marks it suspicious. The domain is 337 days old but operates with zero contact information — no email, phone, or address — a hallmark of cracked-app distribution networks. The page loads Google Tag Manager but contains no legitimate business presence. Independent trust aggregators rate it 40/100 (questionable). Cracked APK templates are commonly used to distribute malware bundled with the promised software.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page presents itself as a download hub for Picsart MOD APK version 28.9.6, claiming to unlock premium and gold features without payment. The title and meta description explicitly advertise free access to paid features. No legitimate business information, privacy policy, or terms of service are visible.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted on IP 172.67.146.130 with a clean abuse score (0/100) and no reported abuse history. SSL is valid and issued by Google Trust Services, expiring in 52 days. The site loads Google Tag Manager but no other tracking or analytics frameworks typical of legitimate software publishers.

Domain History

Registered 337 days ago via NameCheap with privacy protection disabled. The domain has no global traffic ranking and is not indexed by major search engines, consistent with a low-visibility distribution site.

Web Reputation

Three of our antivirus engines flag the domain as malicious or phishing: alphaMountain.ai (malicious), Forcepoint ThreatSeeker (phishing), and SOCRadar (phishing). Gridinsoft marks it suspicious. Independent trust aggregators rate it 40/100 (questionable). Browser blocklists remain clean, but the antivirus consensus is strong.

Risk Factors
7
  • Three antivirus engines flag as malicious or phishing; Gridinsoft marks suspicious.
  • Distributes cracked/modded APK — common vector for malware bundling and credential theft.
  • Zero contact information: no email, phone, or postal address on the entire site.
  • Domain has no legitimate business registration or public presence.
  • Independent trust aggregators rate it 40/100 (questionable).
  • Cracked APK template fingerprint detected — matches known distribution networks.
  • Not indexed by search engines; low-visibility distribution pattern typical of malware sites.
Positive Signals
4
  • SSL certificate is valid and current.
  • Hosting IP has no abuse reports (0/100 abuse score).
  • No push-notification spam, countdown timers, or login forms detected.
  • No cross-domain redirects or homoglyph tricks.
AI Recommendation
Do not download or install any APK from this site. Cracked app distributors commonly bundle malware, spyware, or credential-stealing trojans alongside the promised software. Download Picsart only from the official Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
