Appshells.com distributes malware that infects computers and steals personal information.

The site tricks people into downloading harmful programs by disguising them as legitimate software, games, or useful files. Once installed, this malware can steal passwords and personal data, lock files and demand ransom payments (ransomware), spy on activities and record keystrokes, damage computer systems, or use computers for illegal activities.

Appshells.com makes malicious downloads look completely safe and legitimate. Visitors often have no idea they're downloading malware until their computer gets infected and starts behaving strangely or their personal information gets stolen.

This domain was registered 1 month ago through the company ERANET INTERNATIONAL LIMITED and had the owner REDACTED FOR PRIVACY.
