The page includes standard technical disclaimers and lacks any signs of phishing, malware, or deceptive marketing. While the parent domain is associated with YouTube conversion tools, this specific subdomain is purely functional for data tracking. All security engines currently rate the site as clean.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The landing page is a standard login and information portal for a self-hosted Plausible Analytics dashboard. It features professional branding, links to official documentation, and a transparent disclaimer stating the instance is self-managed.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on a reputable cloud provider and utilizes a valid SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt. It loads resources from official sources like GitHub and the main Plausible domain, confirming its technical alignment with the software it claims to be.

Key findings
7 headline facts from open-web research

  • The domain serves /js/script.js, which is the official lightweight Plausible Analytics tracking script (open-source, privacy-focused Google Analytics alternative, no cookies).
  • It is explicitly listed in EasyPrivacy and EasyList filter lists with rule "pb.ytmp3tube.com /js/script.js$domain=yt1s.com.co" to block tracking on sites like yt1s.com.co.
  • Appears in multiple malware analysis sandboxes (Hybrid Analysis, JoeSandbox, URLQuery) and security scanner reports (PCRisk) in context of YouTube downloader sites like yt1s.com.co and y2meta.is, but consistently marked "Not flagged" for ma
  • No direct scam reports, user complaints, or reviews found specifically for pb.ytmp3tube.com or ytmp3tube.com.
  • Related YouTube-to-MP3 sites (ytmp3.cc, variants) have widespread warnings about aggressive ads, redirects, and potential PUPs/malware risks, but the analytics subdomain itself is not implicated in malice.

Research summary
Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above
We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for pb.ytmp3tube.com and didn't find scam reports or complaints. The domain is frequently cited in technical security logs as an analytics endpoint for YouTube-to-MP3 conversion sites, but it is not associated with the distribution of malware or phishing. For a specialized technical subdomain like this, the lack of consumer reviews is expected and does not indicate a risk.

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 pb.ytmp3tube.com and not a lookalike like p-b.ytmp3tube.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 pb.ytmp3tube.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • pb.ytmp3tube.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 85/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. pb.ytmp3tube.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, expiring in 65 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • pb.ytmp3tube.com is 1.7 years old, registered on 10/28/2024 through Spaceship, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. pb.ytmp3tube.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • pb.ytmp3tube.com resolves to an IP operated by DigitalOcean, LLC in DE (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 29, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around pb.ytmp3tube.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
