Is sbot.cf legit or a scam?
Low-quality video hosting site with no scam reports but poor design, unverified stats, and presence on torrent pages.
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 page presents itself as a free ad-free video hosting bot for series links, with contact details and large usage statistics. No antivirus engines or browser blocklists flagged the domain, and the hosting IP shows zero abuse reports. However, the site uses plain unstyled HTML, displays broken images and irrelevant embedded graphs, and lacks any business registration or verifiable contact information. It appears on Hungarian streaming and torrent aggregator sites, and ad-blocking tools specifically target its frames and popups. The combination of missing trust signals and low-quality presentation makes the service look unreliable despite the clean technical scan.
