Is Lookmovie.io Safe?

Lookmovie.io is a video streaming site. The problem is that the content there is being offered for streaming illegally. In addition, the site generates monetary gains via rogue advertising networks. As a result, users are oftentimes presented with questionable ads or have dubious websites opened in their web browsers.

In practice, this means that the site itself may be safe if you ignore the content made available there illegally, but users could be exposed to various security risks posed by the third-party pages opened without their consent. Indeed, visitors risk landing on phishing pages that try to obtain sensitive private details such as payment information or credit and debit card numbers. Other destinations may include deceiving websites that rely on scare tactics to trick users into downloading and installing barely-functional PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). Deceptive websites trying to lure visitors into subscribing to their push notification services under fake pretenses are also quite common. 

To answer the question to as if lookmovie.io is safe, you must ask if the download or streaming of illegal content is a good practice or not. Whether divulging on the morality of downloading illegal or copyrighted material is a good thing or not, the fact remains that doing so could have several parties liable for those bad actions, including the computer user that accesses the illegal or copyright material.
