Free cyber tools
We publish news, and we also build tools. Each one works from public information or from records you are entitled to hold, shows where every figure came from, and is free to use. The checking tools report what they find. They do not tell you a site or a wallet is safe, because no automated check can.
Check something
For anyone. Paste what you were sent and see what public records show. No sign-up.
Website Scam Checker
Paste a link, a website name or a sender's email. See whether the address copies a known brand or bank, what public records and warning lists show, and what the page asks for, without opening it yourself.
OpenCrypto Balance Checker
Paste a wallet address or transaction ID on Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, Solana and more. See the balance, recent transfers, sanctions and police-alert matches, and whether the issuer has frozen it.
OpenBulk USDT Balance Checker
Check up to 25 wallet addresses at once for USDT and Bitcoin balances, with a report ID anyone can verify and a CSV download.

OpenHow these tools are built
- They read public sources (blockchain explorers, domain records, regulator lists) and name the source beside each result.
- Contact details in the directories are taken from the organisation’s own website and dated.
- A lookup that fails is shown as a failed lookup, never as “nothing found”.
- Where a tool uses AI to summarise, it says so, and the summary never replaces the facts beside it.
- We are an independent publication, not a government body. For how we work, see About us.
