Is sex.com Safe?

I analyzed sex.com for malware and malicious content to check if it was legit or a scam. Here are the results:

I checked the site sex.com on an online malware scanner Sucuri and it returned with no issues. It said the site didn’t have any malware. It also said the site was not blacklisted by any known security vendors. You can see the same here: Sucuri scan for the site Sex.com.

There is one thing that could be improved which is related to the security headers. According to the malware scan,  the ‘unsafe-inline’ keyword in Content-Security-Policy is not recommended.

To check this further I ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on the site sex.com and it says the page is clean. You can see the same here: Unmask Parasites scan for the site Sex.com.

Lastly, I ran a malware scan with VirusTotal on the domain sex.com. The scan detected at least 10 files communicating with the domain and no security vendor listed the site as malicious. You can see the same here: VirusTotal scan for the site Sex.com.
