What is Sci-hub?

We flagged Sci-hub.vg as phishing. The page behavior matches a common credential-theft flow: impersonation first, urgency second, data request last.

Typical prompts on sites like this include account alerts, failed-delivery notices, or "verify now" dialogs asking for passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes. Do not submit credentials here. Open the real service in a new tab and check your account directly.

This domain was registered February 20, 2025 at 10:14 AM through the company TLD Registrar Solutions Ltd. and ownership information is not publicly available.

Is sci-hub.vg safe?

— Unfortunately, not likely.

🚨 Gridinsoft blocks this website because it was classified as phishing.

sci-hub.vg shows phishing risks and a 1/100 trust score. Do not enter passwords, verification codes, personal details, or payment data.

Why is sci-hub.vg marked "Phishing"?

Gridinsoft evaluates sci-hub.vg, focusing on limited website popularity, suspicious content indicators (Heuristic - Phishing, Heuristic Risk), hosting technology and infrastructure, SSL certificate status, website reputation across multiple databases, customer reviews from various independent platforms. We weigh these indicators to calculate the trust score.

Note: Automated systems are not perfect — while the evidence suggests risk, there is still a chance the site is legitimate. We recommend you check the website using detailed analysis or by contacting the company directly through verified channels.
