Verdict

B98.TV is a cartoon-streaming site with no current browser threat warning

B98.TV presents itself as a place to watch classic cartoons online. The available checks are broadly reassuring: there is no current browser threat warning, and the hosting IP has no saved abuse reports. However, one older antivirus observation marked the URL as suspicious, so the site is best treated as low risk rather than fully trusted.

Use ordinary caution: avoid entering sensitive information or downloading unexpected files, and leave if the site redirects you or displays warnings. Current evidence does not establish an active scam or technical threat.

Investigation Brief

B98.TV presents itself as a place to watch classic cartoons online. The available checks are broadly reassuring: there is no current browser threat warning, and the hosting IP has no saved abuse reports. However, one older antivirus observation marked the URL as suspicious, so the site is best treated as low risk rather than fully trusted.

What the site offers

The page identifies itself as B98.TV and promotes free online viewing of classic cartoons, including Looney Tunes, Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry, and Pink Panther.

The supplied evidence does not document a checkout, login request, download, forced redirect, or other concrete harmful visitor flow.

Technical checks are mostly reassuring, with one caution

A fresh browser-safety check returned no threat warning, while the hosting IP showed an abuse confidence score of 0 out of 100 across zero saved reports.

One saved antivirus result previously labeled the URL suspicious, but that observation is stale and its timing should be confirmed. This isolated result warrants caution without establishing malware or fraud.

The domain has existed for 3,034 days. Longevity adds context but does not by itself prove that the operator or content is trustworthy.

Why the score is 76

The score combines saved deterministic evidence with the grounded analysis available for this report. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before you trust

We couldn't gather enough signal for a confident verdict — tread carefully.

  1. Find the company through independent channels

    Search for the business on LinkedIn, an official registry (Companies House, OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR), or via the brand's known social channels. If you can't trace a real entity, that itself is a red flag.

  2. Never pay by crypto, gift card, or bank transfer

    If the site forces an irreversible payment method, stop. Cards and PayPal give you chargeback protection — irreversible methods don't.

  3. Ask the forum

    Post the URL in the MalwareTips Scam Reports forum — experienced members often recognise patterns immediately.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is b98.tv a scam or is it safe?
b98.tv has a Safety Score of 76/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is b98.tv safe to use?
b98.tv has a Safety Score of 76/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has b98.tv been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 90 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged b98.tv as suspicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is b98.tv on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — b98.tv is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the b98.tv domain?
b98.tv is 8.3 years old, registered on June 1, 2018 through NameSilo, LLC. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does b98.tv have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — b98.tv presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE1, valid for another 54 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is b98.tv hosted?
b98.tv resolves to an IP operated by Tamatiya EOOD in BG (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the b98.tv report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on September 21, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about b98.tv has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
