Verdict

New streaming site with low trust score and minimal commercial signals

PopcornMovies.ac is a very new domain (registered August 13, 2026) that presents itself as a streaming-content site using TMDB metadata. The site carries a 44/100 trust score from Gridinsoft and contains only a neutral 'Donate' link with no observed aggressive monetization or malicious behavior.

Exercise normal caution with any new streaming domain; the low trust score stems mainly from lack of history rather than confirmed malicious behavior.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

Trust signals and domain history

The domain was registered on August 13, 2026 through Immaterialism Limited with privacy-protected ownership, giving it essentially zero operational history at the time of review.

Gridinsoft's automated analysis assigned a 44/100 trust score, citing the recent registration and lack of established reputation as primary factors.

Page content and commercial indicators

The site displays a single 'Donate' link and credits TMDB for metadata and artwork while explicitly stating it is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.

No malware, phishing, or active blacklist detections were reported by major engines at the time of the Gridinsoft scan.

Why the score is 52

Gridinsoft trust score of 44/100. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

07 · 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 popcornmovies.ac a scam or is it safe?

There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give popcornmovies.ac 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 popcornmovies.ac safe to use?

popcornmovies.ac has a Safety Score of 52/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.

Has popcornmovies.ac been flagged by antivirus engines?

No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report popcornmovies.ac 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.

Is popcornmovies.ac on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — popcornmovies.ac 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 popcornmovies.ac have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes — popcornmovies.ac presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 78 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 popcornmovies.ac hosted?

popcornmovies.ac 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.

How often is the popcornmovies.ac report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on August 24, 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 popcornmovies.ac has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
