What is nyaa.si?
nyaa.si is a website that was analyzed by ScamSandbox on September 29, 2026. Based on our automated analysis across 22 security sources, the domain shows some risk signals that warrant caution before entering personal information or making purchases.
The domain was registered approximately 3430 days ago through domene.si . The domain's age suggests it has been operational for some time, which is a positive trust signal.
ScamSandbox cross-referenced nyaa.si against the VirusTotal database, which aggregates results from multiple security vendors. No security vendor in the VirusTotal database has flagged this domain as malicious or suspicious, which is a positive trust indicator.
The site uses a valid SSL/TLS certificate issued by Let's Encrypt . An SSL certificate encrypts data between the visitor and the server, but it does not guarantee the site is legitimate — scammers routinely obtain free SSL certificates for fraudulent sites.
nyaa.si is hosted by IQWeb FZ-LLC at IP address 186.2.163.20 . The site received a D grade for HTTP security headers, indicating that most browser security protections are missing. Legitimate, professionally maintained websites typically implement at minimum HSTS and Content-Security-Policy headers.
The overall risk score assigned to nyaa.si by ScamSandbox is 14/100 (where 100 is the highest risk). This score is calculated by weighing signals from blacklist detections, domain age, WHOIS data, SSL certificate validity, HTTP security headers, content analysis, and community reports.

Tips for visiting nyaa.si safely
nyaa.si shows some caution signals. While it may be legitimate, here are some best practices before proceeding:
- Verify the site's identity — check for a company registration number, physical address, and verifiable contact details.
- Use secure payment methods — credit cards and PayPal provide fraud protection that debit cards and bank transfers do not.
- Keep evidence of transactions — save screenshots of product listings, order confirmations, and all communication.
- Look for customer reviews on independent platforms before making significant purchases.
