Is video.twimg.kim legit or a scam?
Typosquat URL shortener impersonating Twitter CDN; flagged by 6+ security engines as malicious or phishing; high abuse risk.

MT Intelligence
The domain video.twimg.kim is a subdomain registered 184 days ago that mimics Twitter's legitimate CDN domain (twimg.com) — a classic typosquat pattern. Six antivirus engines (Chong Lua Dao, G-Data, SOCRadar, Webroot, Certego, CyRadar) flag it as malicious, phishing, or suspicious. The site hosts a URL shortening service branded 'shortmylink' with an Indonesian interface, and evidence shows it has been shared on social media with paths mimicking Twitter's /amplify_video/ structure, making it an effective phishing and redirect vector. One independent aggregator gave it a high trust score (86/100), but two dedicated security scanners rated it 16–19/100 due to blacklist detections and lack of legitimate business history. The hosting IP has a clean abuse score but the domain's typosquat nature, new registration, and multi-engine detections outweigh the single positive review.

Web research identified three scam reports and complaints. PCRisk Scanner assigned a trust score of 19/100, with 6 of 91 security engines flagging the domain as potentially dangerous or a generic malicious object. Gridinsoft classified video.twimg.kim as a suspicious website with a 16/100 trust score, citing multiple security vendor blacklist detections and lack of review history. A Reddit user in a cybersecurity help forum reported clicking a video.twimg.kim link and noted the page did not load before they exited. One independent aggregator (an independent review aggregator) assigned a trust score of 86/100 and concluded the site appears safe, citing valid SSL and DNSFilter clearance — however, this conflicts sharply with the dedicated security scanners' low ratings and the typosquat pattern.
