A deceptive live sports streaming portal flagged by 11 security engines for phishing and malicious behavior on a high-risk .sbs domain.
Score breakdown

Intelligence
Our analysis reveals a high-risk profile for this domain, primarily driven by a significant consensus among our antivirus partners. Eleven different security engines, including BitDefender, ESET, and Sophos, have flagged the site as malicious or a phishing threat. The domain is relatively new, registered only 222 days ago, and uses the .sbs top-level domain, which is frequently associated with low-quality or fraudulent streaming networks. While the page claims to offer free HD sports without registration, this is a common tactic used to expose users to aggressive ad-trackers, browser hijackers, or credential-harvesting scripts. The lack of any verifiable contact information or business registration further confirms its status as an untrustworthy operator. We have high confidence that this site poses a direct threat to user security.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for live-tv.sbs, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
We searched for independent reports regarding live-tv.sbs and found no established consumer reviews or scam reports. For a relatively new streaming site on a low-trust TLD, this lack of history is common and does not indicate that the site is safe.

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 live-tv.sbs as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
- No — live-tv.sbs scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
- Yes. live-tv.sbs presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 44 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
- live-tv.sbs is 7 months old, registered on 11/26/2025 through Ultahost, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
- 14 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged live-tv.sbs as malicious or suspicious (11 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
- No. live-tv.sbs is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
- live-tv.sbs resolves to an IP operated by Ultahost Inc in NL (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 July 7, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around live-tv.sbs have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
