Is thermopower.pl legit or a scam?
A brand-new YouTube downloader site with no business registration and placeholder contact information, flagged by independent researchers as high risk.
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 was registered very recently and has already attracted negative attention in security communities. Our analysis found that the site uses a placeholder email address (contact@ytmp3.test) instead of a real support channel, which is a common trait of temporary or deceptive operations. There is no evidence of a registered business or physical address behind the service. While the interface looks professional, the lack of transparency and the high-risk nature of the 'YouTube converter' niche suggest this site may be used for aggressive advertising or distributing unwanted software. We have lowered the trust score due to the combination of domain age and the absence of legitimate ownership data.
