Is xhamster18.desi Safe?
I conducted a series of malware tests to find out if xhamster18.desi is safe and legit. Here are the results:
I installed the Malwarebytes Browser Guard on my Edge browser and was able to browse the xhamster18.desi domain without any issues which tells me that the browser guard doesn’t think the site is compromised or malicious.
To check this further I ran malware scans on my computer after visiting the site xhamster18.desi with Malwarebytes and Spybot – Search & Destroy and they returned no malware detection. I also ran a system-wide scan on my computer with Microsoft Defender and no malware was found.
To confirm that the site is clean, I also checked the site xhamster18.desi on the online malware scanner Sucuri and it returned as a low security risk. You can see the same here: Sucuri scan for the site xhamster18.desi.
There were some issues, namely the 404 Not Found site issue and there is no website monitoring or firewall. However, none of these were enough to raise the grade of the scan from being a low security risk. Moreover, it has several missing security headers which I have listed below:
Missing security header for ClickJacking Protection. Alternatively, you can use Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors ‘none’. Affected pages:

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/’ _.O(_.P(h).replace(/;/g,Missing security header to prevent Content Type sniffing.
Missing Strict-Transport-Security security header. Affected pages:
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/’ _.O(_.P(h).replace(/;/g,Missing Content-Security-Policy directive. We recommend to add the following CSP directives (you can use default-src if all values are the same): base-uri
Lastly, I ran a malware scan with VirusTotal on the domain xhamster18.desi and one security vendor did flag the site as malicious. However, it was only 1 out of 88 sites that flagged it which is not uncommon. You can see the results here: VirusTotal scan for the site xhamster18.desi.
In conclusion, the site xhamster18.desi is a low security risk. It had a 404 error on the homepage; however, the scan was still able to conclude there was no malware found. Moreover, only 1 out of 88 security vendors flagged it as malicious which is likely a false positive.
