Verdict

pyq1.cc hosts Roundcube Webmail login with moderate risk from low-trust infrastructure

The site at pyq1.cc presents a standard Roundcube Webmail login form in Chinese. No active malware, redirects, or downloads were observed, but the .cc domain (registered June 2025), invalid TLS, and stale VirusTotal flags from Forcepoint and alphaMountain create operator risk for a credential-harvesting login portal.

Investigation Brief

The site at pyq1.cc presents a standard Roundcube Webmail login form in Chinese. No active malware, redirects, or downloads were observed, but the .cc domain (registered June 2025), invalid TLS, and stale VirusTotal flags from Forcepoint and alphaMountain create operator risk for a credential-harvesting login portal.

What the site appears to do

It displays a clean Roundcube Webmail login interface with username and password fields, a blue login button, and the Roundcube branding. The page title and body confirm it is a webmail login portal.

Strongest evidence and limitations

Stale antivirus detections (one malicious, one suspicious engine) and low-trust .cc TLD with 423-day domain age are the main adverse signals. Safe Browsing is clean, IP has zero abuse reports, and no popups, downloads, or credential-harvest flags were triggered. TLS validation failed.

Practical user impact

Entering credentials here risks theft if the operator is malicious. The login form itself matches legitimate Roundcube but runs on untrusted hosting. Avoid using real email passwords; treat as unverified webmail access.

Why the score is 52

Saved antivirus evidence is adverse but is not fresh enough for a current conviction. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Your next move

Proceed with caution

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

  • Analyst recommendation

    Do not log in with important credentials. Use official Roundcube instances or verified email providers instead. The combination of login portal and low-trust signals warrants caution despite lack of active malicious behavior in the scan.

  • Treat pyq1.cc 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.

The site at pyq1.cc presents a standard Roundcube Webmail login form in Chinese. No active malware, redirects, or downloads were observed, but the .cc domain (registered June 2025), invalid TLS, and stale VirusTotal flags from Forcepoint and alphaMountain create operator risk for a credential-harvesting login portal.

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 pyq1.cc a scam or is it safe?
There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give pyq1.cc a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. The domain is 1.2 years old. 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 pyq1.cc safe to use?
pyq1.cc has a Safety Score of 52/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is partial at 61%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.
Has pyq1.cc been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 2 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged pyq1.cc, 1 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is pyq1.cc on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — pyq1.cc 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.
How old is the pyq1.cc domain?
pyq1.cc is 1.2 years old, registered on June 2, 2025 through Spaceship, Inc.. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does pyq1.cc have a valid SSL certificate?
No — pyq1.cc has an invalid or broken SSL certificate, so browsers will show a security warning. Combined with the other signals, we recommend avoiding it.
Where is pyq1.cc hosted?
pyq1.cc resolves to an IP operated by I LAYER LIMITED in HK (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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 pyq1.cc report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on July 31, 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 pyq1.cc has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
