FPO XXX (fpo.xxx) is a porn tube site.
DESCRIPTION
The homepage of fpo.xxx showed rows of four video thumbnails and 24 videos in total. The thumbnails had data on them such as the duration of the video and whether they were in HD or not. The titles were beneath the thumbnail images. And beneath the titles was the total number of views for each video, and the rating users gave the videos. If the rating was positive, it was green; if the rating was negative, it would be red. Every video thumbnail on the homepage was green with a very high rating. Were they ranking higher on the site because of their rating? Sometimes I see similar sites with negatively rated videos on the homepage, so it’s not necessarily a rating system. One of the categories at the top of the homepage was “top-rated” and I could see that each video on the first page of that category had a 100% rating, so I could see evidence of fpo.xxx being able to rank sites to some extent. The single post pages loaded quickly and the video player was high quality. The videos I watched had watermarks on them from other domains.
HISTORY
As of January 2024, fpo.xxx has 20.92 million monthly views. Fpo.xxx was founded on April 6, 2016, The Internet Archive has saved fpo.xxx 268 times between April 6, 2016 and October 19, 2023.
Is fpo.xxx Safe?
Here, I analyzed fpo.xxx for malware and malicious content to check if it was legit or a scam:
I checked fpo.xxx on Sucuri, and it returned as a critical security risk.
Sucuri says it detected malware on fpo.xxx. More specifically, it found woof.002 malware on https://www.fpo.xxx/js/main.min.js?v=5.0. It also found spam (spam-seo.porn_keywords) on https://www.fpo.xxx/popular-1/.
I then ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on fpo.xxx, and it is clean.
I also checked fpo.xxx on VirusTotal, and it is clean.
Further, fpo.xxx passed all blocklist engines on URLVoid.
In conclusion, all scans returned as pristine. OVERALL GRADE: Malicious.

A barebones porn tube without any notable features beyond the videos themselves. It tends to have a lot of Indian videos. The title of the site is "Free Porn Videos" but the domain is "fpo," so I don't get the connection. It also has sign-up and log-in buttons, but there are no obvious features for someone who has signed up. I don't see any social profiles as I would on a porn tube like Pornhub. These things could be innocent. Maybe they're trying to rank for "free porn videos" in search engines and it wasn't the plan until after they bought the domain. But something is definitely off about the site in general.
