Verdict

scene.cat lists pirated scene game releases, with only one isolated security flag

scene.cat is a listing site for software and game releases credited to scene groups such as RUNE and Razor1911. One antivirus engine marked the address as suspicious, but there was no consensus among the other engines. The browser threat feed gave no warning. Pirated content is not a scam by itself. However, we found no evidence about who runs the site or where its files come from, so we place it in Moderate Risk rather than Safe.

Be cautious. If you download anything linked from release listings like these, scan it with up-to-date security software before opening it. Avoid running unknown executables.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

scene.cat is a listing site for software and game releases credited to scene groups such as RUNE and Razor1911. One antivirus engine marked the address as suspicious, but there was no consensus among the other engines. The browser threat feed gave no warning. Pirated content is not a scam by itself. However, we found no evidence about who runs the site or where its files come from, so we place it in Moderate Risk rather than Safe.

A directory of scene release names

The page lists entries such as "ASPIS-RUNE" and "Thank_You_Bus_Driver_Repack-Razor1911". These are names of releases from piracy groups. Distributing them raises copyright questions, but that is context only and not the reason for the score.

The page was longer than our reader's size limit and was not read to the end. Any contact details further down the page, usually in the footer, were therefore not reviewed.

Technical checks are mostly clean; the operator is unverified

One antivirus vendor marked the URL as suspicious. That was an isolated detection out of 93 engines, with no vendor consensus. The browser threat feed returned no threat warning, and the site uses a valid encrypted connection.

Clean checks only mean that nothing was detected. They do not prove that files downloaded through such listings are safe, and the evidence does not show who operates the site.

Why the score is 62

1 antivirus result marked the URL as suspicious. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Proceed with caution

The evidence is mixed or incomplete, so treat this site as unverified until you can confirm who runs it.

  1. Analyst recommendation

    Be cautious. If you download anything linked from release listings like these, scan it with up-to-date security software before opening it. Avoid running unknown executables.

  2. Treat scene.cat as unverified

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Share your experience

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

Safer Alternatives

Trying to download software? Use a safe option instead

Downloading software? Get it from the maker's official site or an official app store — "cracked", "modded", or keygen downloads are one of the most reliable ways to install malware.

  1. The vendor's official website

    Search the product name + "official" and check the domain before downloading.

  2. Microsoft Store

    Vetted Windows apps.

  3. Ninite

    Bundles legitimate free apps from their real sources.

Suggestions for safety only — not endorsements. Always verify the address bar before signing in or paying, even on well-known sites.

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 scene.cat a scam or is it safe?
There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give scene.cat 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 scene.cat safe to use?
scene.cat has a Safety Score of 62/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 95%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.
Has scene.cat been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 93 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged scene.cat as suspicious. A single "suspicious" vote is a weak signal on its own, so it is weighed alongside the other checks rather than treated as a confirmed threat.
Is scene.cat on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — scene.cat 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 scene.cat have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — scene.cat presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 72 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 scene.cat hosted?
scene.cat 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 scene.cat report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 25, 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 scene.cat has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
