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.

Confidence
LinkHub is a real link-in-bio platform operated by STAMUL, LLC, with a 4-year-old domain, published iOS and Android apps (4.2-star rating on Google Play with 34 reviews), and genuine creator testimonials on Reddit. However, the short domain lhub.to itself carries concerning signals: Chong Lua Dao and VIPRE flag it as malicious or phishing, and GridinSoft reports a 1/100 trust score with 9 blacklist detections. The domain also appears in Reddit r/phishing discussions where users questioned whether lhub.to links in Instagram DMs indicated a scam. The contradiction between the legitimate service and the flagged domain suggests either that the short URL has been misused in phishing campaigns (causing the detections), or that security vendors are over-flagging a legitimate service. The lack of contact information on the landing page and privacy-protected WHOIS registration add minor friction to verification.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page presents LinkHub as a link-in-bio tool for creators, with a clean marketing layout, drag-and-drop editor claims, and calls-to-action for app downloads. No login form, countdown timer, or push-notification spam detected. The page loads external resources from legitimate domains (Google Tag Manager, Apple App Store, Google Play, social platforms) and a support subdomain on linkhub.online.

Infrastructure

Hosting IP 40.160.21.214 has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score (0/100 abuse). SSL certificate is valid (Let's Encrypt, 79 days to expiry). No redirect chains or homoglyph tricks detected. The domain does not appear in major browser blocklists.

Domain History

lhub.to registered 1543 days ago (~4.2 years) via Namecheap with privacy protection disabled in WHOIS. The associated linkhub.online domain and STAMUL, LLC copyright indicate a stable operator. Mobile apps (iOS and Android) are published under the same company name with positive user ratings.

Web Reputation

Security vendors show conflicting signals: Chong Lua Dao and VIPRE flag the domain as malicious or phishing; GridinSoft reports 1/100 trust score and 9 blacklist detections. Conversely, the service has legitimate app-store presence, creator endorsements on Reddit, and no widespread scam-report aggregator complaints. The domain appears in Reddit r/phishing discussions, suggesting it may have been used in or associated with phishing campaigns, though the service itself is not confirmed as a scam.

Safety FAQ

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

  • Our automated security review flags lhub.to as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — lhub.to scored 25/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. lhub.to presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE1, expiring in 79 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • lhub.to is 4.2 years old, registered on 3/19/2022 through NAMECHEAP. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 4 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged lhub.to as malicious or suspicious (2 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. lhub.to is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • lhub.to resolves to an IP operated by OVH US LLC in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 10, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around lhub.to have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
