high

malicious redirect

Third-party ad script loaded from //aq.gnomesyeuked.com/tjxlgX6I9Mtaaf4/116567 — a non-reputable domain with an obfuscated path. This script is injected inline with data-cfasync="false" and async execution, bypassing Cloudflare checks, and could serve malicious redirects or drive-by payloads to visitors. (location: page.html:86)

medium

malicious redirect

Ad script loaded from //a-zzz.com/btag.min.js — a low-reputation domain (a-zzz.com) serving a tag manager script for a 300x250 ad zone. Third-party tag managers from unrecognized domains are a common vector for malicious redirects and ad fraud. (location: page.html:125)

medium

social engineering

The site distributes APK files outside of the official Google Play Store, including modified/unofficial builds of major apps (Google Play Store, WhatsApp Business, Facebook, Instagram, Chrome, etc.). This pattern is a well-known social engineering vector used to distribute repackaged or trojaned apps to users who believe they are installing legitimate software. (location: page.html:121, page-text.txt:68)

medium

brand impersonation

APKCombo hosts and distributes APKs for major brand-name apps (Google Play Store, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, ChatGPT, Chrome, etc.) outside of official channels. The site presents these with official icons and branding, creating an appearance of legitimacy that could mislead users into downloading unofficial or tampered versions. (location: page.html:121, page-text.txt:53,68)

low

hidden content

A 1x1 pixel transparent div with id 'elgoogybsda2' is present on the page. While labeled as an AdSense element, invisible 1x1 elements are a common technique used to hide tracking pixels, fingerprinting code, or ad fraud beacons. (location: page.html:311)

low

social engineering

The page title and meta description claim APKCombo is the '#1 APK Downloader', using authoritative framing to build trust and encourage users to download APKs from this unofficial source rather than official app stores. (location: page.html:18-19)

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

Common questions teams ask before deciding whether to use this domain in agent workflows.

Is apkcombo.com safe for AI agents to use?

apkcombo.com currently scores 45/100 with a suspicious verdict and medium confidence. The goal is to protect agents from high-risk context before they act on it. Treat this as a decision signal: higher scores suggest lower observed risk, while lower scores mean you should add review or block this domain.

How should I interpret the score and verdict?

Use the score as a policy threshold: 80–100 is safe, 50–79 is caution, 20–49 is suspicious, and 0–19 is dangerous. Teams often auto-allow safe, require human review for caution/suspicious, and block dangerous.

How does brin compute this domain score?

brin evaluates four dimensions: identity (source trust), behavior (runtime patterns), content (malicious instructions), and graph (relationship risk). Analysis runs in tiers: static signals, deterministic pattern checks, then AI semantic analysis when needed.

What do identity, behavior, content, and graph mean for this domain?

Identity checks source trust, behavior checks unusual runtime patterns, content checks for malicious instructions, and graph checks risky relationships to other entities. Looking at sub-scores helps you understand why an entity passed or failed.

Why does brin scan packages, repos, skills, MCP servers, pages, and commits?

brin performs risk assessments on external context before it reaches an AI agent. It scores that context for threats like prompt injection, hijacking, credential harvesting, and supply chain attacks, so teams can decide whether to block, review, or proceed safely.

Can I rely on a safe verdict as a full security guarantee?

No. A safe verdict means no significant risk signals were detected in this scan. It is not a formal guarantee; assessments are automated and point-in-time, so combine scores with your own controls and periodic re-checks.

When should I re-check before using an entity?

Re-check before high-impact actions such as installs, upgrades, connecting MCP servers, executing remote code, or granting secrets. Use the API in CI or runtime gates so decisions are based on the latest scan.
