YTS (yts.mx) is one of the most reputable online brands for downloading movie torrents. The full name for this brand is Yify Torrents. It gets abbreviated to YTS for the domain names. The original YIFY/YTS website was shut down in 2015. Since then several reliable YTS domains have allowed users to download torrents again and they get lots of traffic. Several other YTS domains are getting similar amounts of traffic. yts.mx is considered the main domain.
As of December 2023, yts.do has 92.60 million monthly views (2.1 million Dec 2022), according to SimilarWeb. The Wayback Machine estimates that yts.mx was founded on April 14, 2018. The Internet Archive has saved yts.mx 2,621 times between April 14, 2018 and January 26, 2024.

Is yts.mx Safe?
I analyzed yts.mx for malware and malicious content to check if it was legit or a scam. Here are the results:
I checked the yts.do domain on Sucuri, and it returned as a medium security risk. Results: Sucuri scan for the site yts.do.
Sucuri says yts.mx is a medium security risk because it runs outdated software (PHP under 7.4.6).
I then ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on yts.mx, and it is suspicious. Results: Unmask Parasites scan for the site yts.mx.
Unmask Parasites cites 1 suspicious inline script found:
(function(){var js = "window['__CF$cv$params']={r:'7c5c4d0ddd2f2da6',m:'0xoGGbhNelevZO9AZC6eSdyElbbOaBTfgZzTYl93lfg-16838...
I also checked yts.mx on VirusTotal, and it is clean. Results: VirusTotal scan for the site yts.mx.
In conclusion, Sucuri says YTS runs an outdated PHP version, but there was no malware detected and the site was not blacklisted by any vendors. Still, the online malware scanner suggests it deserves the label of a medium security risk because of the outdated php version. OVERALL GRADE: Relatively Safe.
