Our automated security review marked scnsrc.me as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.

Is scnsrc.me safe to use?

scnsrc.me currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.

Does scnsrc.me have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. scnsrc.me presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 67 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

Has scnsrc.me been flagged by antivirus engines?

2 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged scnsrc.me as malicious or suspicious. Even one detection is a meaningful signal.

Is scnsrc.me on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. scnsrc.me is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is scnsrc.me hosted?

scnsrc.me resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

How often is the scnsrc.me report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 27, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around scnsrc.me have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Confidence

The domain has been active since 2011 and is well-known in piracy communities as a source for 'scene' release lists. However, our security partners, including alphaMountain.ai and Gridinsoft, flag the site as suspicious. Independent review aggregators also warn that the site's content is linked to copyright infringement and may contain malware within its downloads. While the site claims to be 'malware-free,' the lack of transparent business registration and the nature of 'cracked' software make it a high-risk destination. We have adjusted the trust score downward to reflect these persistent security warnings.
