zTube (ztube.org) is a porn tube site.
DESCRIPTION
The homepage of ztube.org had six rows of four featured video thumbnails. The thumbnails were more decorated than average and featured thick white borders on top of a dark background picture that looks to me to be dark grey/black white highlighted toward the center. The thumbnails in the featured videos section are linked directly to the single post pages with the videos on them. Beneath the featured videos section was a random videos section. The thumbnails were similarly laid out on the page and also opened the single post pages with the videos directly. The third section down the page was labeled new videos and they too opened single post pages — nothing on the homepage opened a category; however, you could use the top menu to open categories from there. Though it may not be obvious from the domain name, the “z” in ztube.org seemingly stands for “zoo” as there is a lot of animal content on the site. Each time I clicked on the video player, a pop-up ad loaded and then the video would start playing automatically after that. Many videos accessible from the homepage had comments beneath the videos on the single post pages. The comment section chose to use MonsterID default WordPress icons. Sometimes when I navigated the category menu in the header, it would load other sites after I clicked. It would load a common site I would see loaded on similar sites, which tells me that it was an ad.

I then ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on ztube.org, and it is suspicious.
Unmask Parasites cites 1 suspicious inline script:

I also checked ztube.org on VirusTotal, and it is clean.
