The domain hls.erfanhalgheh.live is a subdomain serving HLS video streams for Erfan Halgheh TV, a spiritual organization with established online presence including official websites, mobile apps, and course platforms. Our antivirus network flagged no malware or phishing, browser blocklists are clean, and the hosting IP has zero abuse reports. The parent domain erfanhalgheh.live is 1584 days old (approximately 4.3 years), registered through GoDaddy with valid SSL from Let's Encrypt. Our web research found no scam reports, complaints, or fraud allegations targeting either subdomain or parent domain. While the movement itself is controversial in Iran and labeled negatively by Iranian authorities, this is a political/religious classification unrelated to technical fraud or malware. The subdomain's inclusion in public IPTV playlists and its integration with legitimate Google Play apps (Taheri Academy Inc.) confirms it serves as a functional media delivery service rather than a phishing or malware vector.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on hls.erfanhalgheh.live and not a lookalike like h-ls.erfanhalgheh.live.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.
