Verdict

Sports-streaming directory carries multiple antivirus phishing detections and asks visitors to log in

Match Direct (matchdirect.live) presents itself as a listing page for upcoming sports matches with links out to broadcasters, and shows 'CONNEXION' and 'INSCRIPTION' buttons that invite visitors to log in or register. A saved antivirus observation records that seven independent antivirus families returned an adverse result against this domain, naming phishing among the detections. The domain is only about 261 days old, and the site's contact details were not fully reviewed, so there is no established reputation to offset the detection. The browser threat feed returned no warning and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, but those are absence-of-detection facts, not proof the operator is trustworthy. Because a credential prompt sits on a domain flagged for phishing, the score lands in the High Risk band.

Do not enter any username, password or personal details on matchdirect.live. If you already have an account there, change that password anywhere else you reused it and treat the credentials as compromised. Use official broadcaster apps or sites to find live sports, and rely on your browser's security warnings rather than this directory.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

A login prompt on a domain flagged for phishing

The strongest adverse fact is the saved antivirus observation: seven independent antivirus families reported an adverse result for this domain, with BitDefender, CyRadar and ESET named among them. The observation is a saved record rather than a fresh submission, so the detection is real but its timing should be confirmed. Phishing detections on a live domain are a direct warning that the site may be used to harvest credentials or push visitors toward malicious redirection.

That warning matters because the page itself shows a header with 'CONNEXION' and 'INSCRIPTION' buttons alongside a list of upcoming sports matches and links to various broadcasters. A visitor who registers or signs in on this page is typing credentials into a site that multiple security vendors have already associated with phishing, which is the classic setup for credential theft.

Clean connection checks do not clear the operator

On the technical side, the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection and the browser threat feed returned no threat warning. Those results mean no detection was recorded at the time of the check; they do not establish that the operator is honest or that the login flow is safe.

On the operator side, the registrable domain is only 261 days old, so there is no long track record to weigh against the antivirus detections. The page lists a phone number, but its text was not read to the end, so a missing phone number or postal address cannot be confirmed either way. With a young domain, an unverified operator and a phishing detection on record, the balance of evidence is adverse.

Why the score is 38

7 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is matchdirect.live a scam or a legit website?

matchdirect.live raises serious red flags as a phishing site — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for phishing. 9 of 93 security engines flag it (8 as outright malicious). The domain is 8 months old through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.

Is matchdirect.live safe to use?

matchdirect.live has a Safety Score of 38/100 (High Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 86%. Avoid login, payment and downloads.

What should I do if I already gave my details to matchdirect.live?

If you've already paid or handed over details on matchdirect.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 matchdirect.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.

Can I get my money back from matchdirect.live?

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.

Did matchdirect.live steal my password or personal information?

If you entered anything on matchdirect.live, assume it was captured. Phishing pages exist purely to harvest what you type — usernames, passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes. Change the password immediately on the real site and anywhere you reused it, enable two-factor authentication, and if you entered card or banking details, contact your bank about the risk of fraud. Also be alert for follow-up "security" calls or emails that try to exploit the same information.

How do I report matchdirect.live?

You can report matchdirect.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.

Why does matchdirect.live look legitimate if it's a scam?

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.

Has matchdirect.live been flagged by antivirus engines?

Yes. 9 of 93 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged matchdirect.live, 8 of them as outright malicious in the saved analysis from October 19, 2026. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.

Is matchdirect.live on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — matchdirect.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.

How old is the matchdirect.live domain?

matchdirect.live is 8 months old, registered on February 6, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. A registration history of under two years is neither a strong positive nor a strong negative signal on its own.

Does matchdirect.live have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes — matchdirect.live presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE1, valid for another 66 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".

How often is the matchdirect.live report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on October 25, 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 matchdirect.live has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
