Is shrusti261-dev.github.io legit or a scam?
Netflix UI clone on a 0-day-old GitHub Pages domain flagged by four antivirus engines as phishing.
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.

MT Intelligence
The domain shrusti261-dev.github.io was created today and hosts a Netflix login-page replica at the /InternSpark_Task4 path. While the evidence confirms this is part of a legitimate internship assignment from InternSpark (a real Bengaluru-based platform), the phishing risk is genuine: Emsisoft, G-Data, Gridinsoft, and Webroot all flag the page as phishing or malicious. The site mimics Netflix's sign-in flow, promotional text, and movie thumbnails—exactly the pattern used in credential-harvesting attacks. The fact that similar Netflix clones by other InternSpark participants have also been flagged by security engines underscores the phishing potential, regardless of the creator's intent. The domain's zero age, lack of business registration, and presence on a free hosting platform compound the risk. A legitimate internship project should not be deployed where it can be mistaken for or used as a phishing vector.

- Subpath https://shrusti261-dev.github.io/InternSpark_Task4/ hosts a Netflix UI clone with title "NETFLIX", "Sign In", promotional text "Unlimited movies, TV shows and more", "Watch anywhere. Cancel anytime.", "Get Started" button, and TMDB
- This is a documented InternSpark internship task: "Clone the UI of a real-world website" with Netflix as an explicit option (internspark.in/task/frontend_developer.html).
- InternSpark is a legitimate Bengaluru-based online internship platform by Alfido Tech offering project-based certificates in web development.
- Similar Netflix clones by other InternSpark participants (e.g. dishaaaaa20.github.io/INTERNSPARK-Netflix-UI/) have been flagged malicious by some scanners, likely due to phishing potential of login-mimicking pages.
- No scam reports, complaints, or reviews found specifically for shrusti261-dev.github.io or the associated GitHub user shrusti261.

We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for shrusti261-dev.github.io and found no scam reports or complaints. The domain is part of a documented InternSpark internship task—a legitimate project-based learning platform. However, the absence of reports on a 0-day-old domain is not reassuring; similar Netflix UI clones by other InternSpark participants have been flagged by antivirus engines for phishing potential. The phishing risk is real regardless of the creator's educational intent.
