Is K2s.cc Safe?

I ran malware tests to find out if k2s.cc is safe and legit. Here are the results:

I checked the site k2s.cc on the online malware scanner Sucuri and it returned with no issues. You can see the same here: Sucuri scan for the site k2s.cc.

K2s.cc Sucuri results

Sucuri says the site k2s.cc doesn’t have any malware and is a low security risk. Sucuri also says the site k2s.cc isn’t blacklisted by any of the 9 blacklists checked. I can also see the site k2s.cc already uses a website firewall to prevent it from being compromised.

The site k2s.cc is missing some security headers:

  • Missing security header for ClickJacking Protection. Alternatively, you can use Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'none'.
  • Missing security header to prevent Content Type sniffing. Affected pages:
    https://k2s.cc/ for Google’s UA
  • Missing Strict-Transport-Security security header. Affected pages:
    https://k2s.cc/ for Google’s UA
  • 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 k2s.cc and it says the page is clean. You can see the same here: Unmask Parasites scan for the site k2s.cc.

To try to confirm that the site is clean, I checked the domain k2s.cc on VirusTotal and 1 out of 84 security vendors has flagged the domain as malicious. You can see the same here: VirusTotal scan for the site k2s.cc.

K2s.cc VirusTotal results

In conclusion, the site k2s.cc doesn’t have malware and is a low security risk according to Sucuri. The site k2s.cc isn’t blacklisted by any of the 9 security vendors on Sucuri. Unmask Parasites says the site k2s.cc is clean. And only 1 out of 84 security vendors (Seclookup) on VirusTotal has flagged the domain as malicious. Overall, the site k2s.cc is safe. The 1 flag by the security vendor Seclookup is likely a false positive.
