Is 1fichier.com Safe?

I analyzed 1fichier.com for malware and malicious content to check if it was legit or a scam. Here are the results:

I checked the site 1fichier.com on the online malware scanner Sucuri and it returned with no issues. You can see the same here: Sucuri scan for the site 1fichier.com.

Sucuri says the site 1fichier.com doesn’t have malware or any important security issues and is a low security risk.

Some hardening improvements can be made:

  • Missing security header for ClickJacking Protection. Alternatively, you can use Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'none'. Affected pages:
    https://1fichier.com/404javascript.js
    https://1fichier.com/404testpage4525d2fdc
  • Missing security header to prevent Content Type sniffing. Affected pages:
    https://1fichier.com/404javascript.js
    https://1fichier.com/404testpage4525d2fdc
  • Missing Strict-Transport-Security security header.
  • Missing Content-Security-Policy directive. We recommend to add the following CSP directives (you can use default-src if all values are the same): script-src, object-src, base-uri, frame-src

However, these hardening improvements don’t impact the Sucuri grade.

To check this further I ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on the site 1fichier.com and it came back clean. You can see the same here: Unmask Parasites scan for the site 1fichier.com.

I also checked the domain 1fichier.com on VirusTotal and 1 out of 88 security vendors has flagged the domain as malicious. You can see the same here: VirusTotal scan for the site 1fichier.com.

1fichier.com VirusTotal results

It’s never good when a security vendor flags a domain, but 1 out of 88 is still a low score and likely a false positive.

In conclusion, the site 1fichier.com is a low security risk and doesn’t have malware according to Sucuri. It is also clean of parasites. Moreover, only 1 out of 95 security vendors has flagged the domain as malicious which is likely a false positive. Overall grade: Safe.
