As far as I can recall, EMPRESS called them out for linking malware to her crack releases. Please someone correct me about its details as I don’t fully remember it.
Edit: Looked it up, there was a torrent with a bitcoin miner injected that 1337 mods appearently didnt remove which caused the whole ordeal.
1337x.to is generally fine to use, just be sure to check the notes on the Megathread and use your common sense.
Context
When signing up on the 1337x platform, it’s crucial to bear in mind that it’s accessible to all users.
The act of downloading movies and TV shows is often regarded as safe. This is primarily because these files do not come in .exe format, thus reducing the likelihood of virus infection.
Risk
It’s highly advisable to be careful when downloading games and software from the site unless you have total confidence in the uploader’s trustworthiness. Avoid uploaders like IGGGames due to their notorious track record of distributing malware.
Opt for reputable uploaders like DODI Repacks, FitGirl Repacks, and KaOsKrew to ensure reliable content and mitigate any potential risks associated with unverified sources.
What I’m referring to is the Baldur’s Gate 3 fiasco. I don’t know how things panned out, but people were turning away from it at the time. Admins were aware/involved as far as I know remember.
1337x is known to host some game cracks with malicious bitcoin miners built-in. If you don’t play cracked games, maybe it’s nbd, but it still stands that you shouldn’t trust them.
Haven’t found one yet. In general you shouldn’t trust any crack. That’s why you have to check every game with virustotal and restrict internet acces to all of them. Fitgirl posts her repacks there too.
Wonder how long that will stand. Also hasn’t 1337 been deemed unsafe, or is it back on good terms?
Commenting so I can follow thread, I have been using 1337 for a good few years and has no idea it got into the bad books.

1337x is good. Open it with tor and get rid of all the shit. Then get the magnet.

Any public site is bound to have some just download from known safe uploaders and you’re fine
