files.catbox.moe came up as unsafe though?
Here are the results for files.catbox.moe, if anyone else is curious:

Only 2 out of 93 antivirus providers flag it as malicious. Chances are, it's either a false positive or those 2 antivirus providers detected an issue with a specific file hosted on catbox and irresponsibly flagged the entire domain.
It's also worth mentioning that some antivirus software have a history of making false claims against programs that the devs simply don't want their users to have, e.g. a keygen for one of their own products.
Keep in mind that catbox is a freedom based hosting site. It's not unusual for Google, various browsers, and anti virus companies to flag sites as unsafe due to content they determine should be censored.
I am not aware of any modern browser exploits related to mp4s or jpgs that can infect your computer via these file types. Things that use Javascript or pdf are still possible I think. Other cyber anons might correct me.
ight well thenks kek
