These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

We capture a fresh screenshot of the live page and ask a vision model to look for scam visual patterns — fake trust badges, countdown timers, overlay pop-ups, and visual clones of legitimate brands.

Visual red flags detected in the screenshot

The site appears to be a manga aggregation platform. While it contains an advertisement formatted to look like a content entry, it does not exhibit standard patterns of a high-risk scam or phishing site.

Editorial security brief
Intelligence
High risktrust6/100
85%
Confidence
The site presents itself as a manga aggregator but is explicitly identified as a clone of the now-defunct comick.io. Three separate sources, including Reddit users and GitHub maintainers, report that comick.live steals account credentials and locks users into the platform. Gridinsoft assigns it a 30/100 trust score and notes multiple security vendors blacklist the domain. The .live TLD is over-represented in scam infrastructure, and the domain shows no legitimate business registration. These signals together establish clear malicious intent rather than a benign mirror or fan site.
Risk Factors
5
  • Explicitly identified as a clone of the legitimate comick.io platform by multiple independent sources.
  • Gridinsoft and other security vendors assign a 30/100 trust score and maintain blacklists.
  • Reddit users report credential theft and deliberate account lock-in preventing deletion.
  • No business registration, contact information, or verifiable operator identity exists.
  • Uses .live TLD, which is over-represented in documented scam infrastructure.
Positive Signals
3
  • No antivirus engines flagged the page as outright malicious.
  • Hosting IP shows zero abuse reports.
  • Valid SSL certificate from Google Trust Services.
Investigation notes

Page Content

The page functions as a manga and webtoon aggregator with search, category browsing, and user lists. A prominent notice urges users to bookmark the site because it may disappear from Google results. The site loads external domains including Reddit, Discord, and a status page, but contains no contact email, phone, or physical address. One advertisement is disguised as a comic entry in the popular section.

Infrastructure

The domain resolves to Cloudflare IP 104.26.7.77 with a clean abuse score of 0/100. SSL certificate is valid from Google Trust Services and expires in 73 days. No redirects occur. The page loads JavaScript bundles and functions as a single-page application. External resources include fonts from Bunny and Google, plus social widgets from Reddit, Discord, and Facebook.

Domain History

WHOIS data is unavailable, preventing direct age verification. The domain uses the .live TLD, which security researchers note is frequently abused by scam operators. The site is documented as a clone of comick.io, the original platform that has ceased operations.

Web Reputation

Gridinsoft flags the site as suspicious with a 30/100 trust score and notes multiple security vendors maintain blacklists. Reddit users in r/ComicK explicitly warn that comick.live steals account information and prevents account deletion. GitHub maintainers of the Keiyoushi manga extensions project state that any Comick domain other than comick.io should be treated as fake and potentially malicious. No positive reviews or business registrations were located.

What this means for you

Entering login credentials or personal information on this site risks account theft. The operators have no verifiable identity and actively work to trap users. Avoid the site entirely and do not interact with any login or registration forms.

Recommendation
Do not visit the site or create an account. If you already have an account, change passwords elsewhere and monitor for unauthorized activity.

Technical Details

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.

Contact Verification

We fetched the page and looked for real-world contact details. Legitimate businesses almost always publish an email on their own domain, a phone number, and a postal address. Scam shops usually don't.

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • comick.live is a high-risk scam site — avoid interacting with it. Our review tagged it for clone site and data harvester. 1 of 92 security engines flag it. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
  • No — comick.live scored just 6/100 on our trust scale, and we detected active threat indicators. We recommend avoiding it entirely: don't log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
  • If you've already paid or handed over details on comick.live, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on comick.live and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
  • Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
  • Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.
  • You can report comick.live through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
  • Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
  • Yes. 1 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged comick.live as suspicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
  • No — comick.live 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.
  • comick.live resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). 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.
  • This report is a record of the scan run on July 26, 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 comick.live has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
