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 liveintent.com and not a lookalike like l-iveintent.com.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.

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 found no threat indicators on liveintent.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • liveintent.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 88/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. liveintent.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 63 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • liveintent.com is 17.3 years old, registered on 3/5/2009 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report liveintent.com as clean.
  • No. liveintent.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • liveintent.com resolves to an IP operated by WPEngine, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). 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.
  • Yes. liveintent.com sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.
