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 domain operates as a piracy aggregator, hosting subpaths for Library Genesis mirrors (/libgen/), YFlix streaming clones (/yflix/, /weflix/), and similar unauthorized content mirrors. Six major antivirus engines—BitDefender, CyRadar, G-Data, and Kaspersky—classify it as phishing; Fortinet and Chong Lua Dao flag it as malware. Independent security researchers assign it a 21/100 trust score and note it is blacklisted by multiple vendors. The domain was registered only 7 months ago (October 2025) with hidden ownership, a pattern consistent with disposable piracy infrastructure. A Reddit user in r/libgen explicitly warned that the /libgen/ mirror "sends me to scam sites," and French security researchers report "strong scam suspicion." No legitimate business registration, contact details, or company information exists. The combination of antivirus consensus, low trust scoring, recent registration, hidden ownership, and direct user reports of malicious redirects establishes this as a high-risk phishing and malware distribution vector.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page presents itself as "YFlix – Watch Movies & TV Series Online For Free," a generic free streaming interface. The domain hosts multiple piracy-related subpaths including /libgen/ (Library Genesis mirror), /yflix/, and /weflix/. No contact email, phone number, postal address, or social links are present anywhere on the page—a red flag for any legitimate service.

Infrastructure

Hosting IP 172.67.128.109 has a clean abuse score (0/100) and no reported abuse history, suggesting the IP itself is not flagged. However, SSL is valid (Google Trust Services issuer, 76 days to expiry), which is typical for modern phishing and malware sites. The page loads external resources from code.jquery.com, freemovies.lol, barkequilibrium.com, and Cloudflare Insights—a mix that includes a suspicious domain (freemovies.lol) known in piracy circles.

Domain History

riverlanes.site was registered approximately 7–8 months ago (October 2025) via Dynadot registrar with hidden ownership. WHOIS data is unavailable, consistent with intentional anonymization. The domain is not indexed in global traffic rankings, indicating minimal legitimate traffic or deliberate exclusion from search engines.

Web Reputation

Six major antivirus engines flag the domain as phishing or malware: BitDefender (phishing), CyRadar (phishing), G-Data (phishing), Kaspersky (phishing), Fortinet (malware), and Chong Lua Dao (malicious). Independent security researchers (Gridinsoft) assign a 21/100 trust score and explicitly warn against entering personal or payment data. Reddit users report the /libgen/ mirror redirects to scam sites. French security researchers report "strong scam suspicion." No positive reviews or legitimate business registration exist.
