: The site is not listed on most "trusted" megathreads, which is the gold standard for safety in the pirated software world.

: There is very little public information regarding the owners or operators of the site, unlike legitimate news or community hubs like Patch.com, which is a verified hyperlocal news network. Safe Alternatives
