Confidence

Video.sibnet.ru is the video section of sibnet.ru, a major regional portal for Siberia operated by АО «РИНЕТ» (Rinet), a company registered in 1994 with active business status in Novosibirsk. Independent trust aggregators rate the domain at 99% (ScamDoc) and 91/100 (GridinSoft), citing clean malware and phishing scans plus long-term SSL support. Our antivirus network shows 1 of 92 engines flagging it (MalwarePatrol), but this is an outlier against the broader clean reputation and the absence of any scam reports or complaints across consumer-review platforms and Russian complaint databases. The hosting IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. The site operates as a legitimate user-video platform with forums, news, and regional content — not a phishing, credential-harvesting, or fraud operation.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page is a Russian-language video hosting platform with login functionality, regional Siberian content categories, and user-uploaded videos. The body text shows typical video-portal structure: navigation menus, video listings with titles and metadata, user profiles, and subscription features. No phishing forms, credential-harvesting patterns, or scam-family signatures detected.

Infrastructure

Hosting IP 90.189.192.216 has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score (0/100 abuse). SSL certificate is valid, issued by GlobalSign, with 246 days to expiry. The domain loads external resources from legitimate Siberian portal subdomains (sibnet.ru, mix.sibnet.ru, st.sibnet.ru, forum.sibnet.ru, info.sibnet.ru, soft.sibnet.ru, mors.sibnet.ru) and major Russian services (Yandex, VK). No redirect chains or homoglyph indicators present.

Domain History

Business registration confirms АО «РИНЕТ» (Rinet) as the operator, founded 1994, OGRN 1025402475856, INN 5406110839, based at ul. Yakusheva 37, Novosibirsk. The parent sibnet.ru has operated as a major Siberian internet portal since at least the early 2000s, providing hosting, domains, and internet services across the region.

Web Reputation

Independent trust aggregators rate video.sibnet.ru at 99% (an independent review aggregator) and 91/100 (GridinSoft), both citing low-risk verdicts with no major malware or phishing detections. Zero scam reports found across consumer-review platforms, Reddit, an independent review aggregator, or Russian complaint databases.

Risk Factors

The domain is not indexed in global traffic rankings, likely due to regional focus and Russian-language content.

Positive Signals

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on video.sibnet.ru and not a lookalike like v-ideo.sibnet.ru.com or an IDN homoglyph.
Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
