Yify.sc: Unofficial YIFY Movie Download Site - Low Malware Risk

yify.sc presents itself as the official YIFY TV site for browsing and downloading movies in 720p-4K/3D quality at smallest file sizes. Clean VirusTotal and Google Safe Browsing results indicate low malware risk, yet the site operates as an unauthorized streaming-piracy platform with no observed credential harvesting or deceptive downloads.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

yify.sc presents itself as the official YIFY TV site for browsing and downloading movies in 720p-4K/3D quality at smallest file sizes. Clean VirusTotal and Google Safe Browsing results indicate low malware risk, yet the site operates as an unauthorized streaming-piracy platform with no observed credential harvesting or deceptive downloads.

What the site appears to do

The captured page shows a full-featured movie and series browser with search, genre, quality, year, and rating filters plus direct links to titles like Oppenheimer, Barbie, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Prominent text states users can download YIFY movies and claims https://yify.sc/ is the only new official domain.

Strongest evidence and limitations

Strongest supportive signals are the valid TLS certificate, zero malicious detections on VirusTotal (60 harmless, 0 malicious), and Google Safe Browsing clean result. The page contains an explicit domain-claim statement and lists many recent 2023-2026 titles with ratings. Limitations include partial VirusTotal coverage, absence of domain-age data, and no direct observation of actual file downloads or external links.

Practical user impact

Visitors face copyright-infringement risk from unauthorized movie distribution. No evidence of malware, popups, or credential theft was recorded, but users downloading content from any unofficial YIFY mirror still risk legal notices or compromised files from unverified sources. The site uses standard Cloudflare hosting with neutral IP reputation.

Why the score is 75

The saved analysis does not include enough completed checks for a Safe rating. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before you trust

We couldn't gather enough signal for a confident verdict — tread carefully.

  • Find the company through independent channels

    Search for the business on LinkedIn, an official registry (Companies House, OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR), or via the brand's known social channels. If you can't trace a real entity, that itself is a red flag.

  • Never pay by crypto, gift card, or bank transfer

    If the site forces an irreversible payment method, stop. Cards and PayPal give you chargeback protection — irreversible methods don't.

  • Ask the forum

    Post the URL in the MalwareTips Scam Reports forum — experienced members often recognise patterns immediately.

08 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is yify.sc a scam or is it safe?
yify.sc has a Safety Score of 75/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is yify.sc safe to use?
yify.sc has a Safety Score of 75/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 75%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has yify.sc been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report yify.sc as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is yify.sc on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — yify.sc is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
Does yify.sc have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — yify.sc presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE1, valid for another 46 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is yify.sc hosted?
yify.sc resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the yify.sc report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 1, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about yify.sc has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
