Is missavws.com legit or a scam?
Clone of seized piracy site missav.com now operating on a 55-day-old domain with IP abuse history.
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.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The site presents itself as a direct operational replacement for missav.com after that domain was seized in a January 2025 copyright lawsuit. Its 55-day age combined with the explicit clone fingerprint and 22 abuse reports on the hosting IP are the strongest risk signals. No malware or phishing detections appeared in our antivirus network, yet the complete lack of contact information and business registration further reduces trust. The evidence package confirms the migration to .ws to evade jurisdiction while continuing to distribute pirated content. These factors together place the site in the suspicious category rather than outright malicious or safe.

Possible brand impersonation
This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.
- Treat missavws.com as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
- Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.
- Never download or sign in here
Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.
- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
