High RiskStatus

Coveragestrong3 of 4 applicable core capabilities

Verdict

ShowBox (showbox.media) is a piracy-streaming site that links to unauthorized copies of movies and TV shows.

The site provides access to copyrighted content through third-party infrastructure (Febbox) and promotes an Android app download. While no malware signatures were detected in scans, the core activity is copyright infringement and the visitor flow involves third-party streaming and download services.

Avoid the site; accessing or downloading copyrighted material without authorization is illegal and exposes visitors to third-party content risks.

The score combines saved evidence strength and analysis quality. Coverage is reported separately.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

Strongest evidence

The site is explicitly described as a piracy-streaming platform that supplies unauthorized access to movies and TV shows.

The hosting IP shows a clean abuse score (0/100), indicating no prior malicious reports tied to the IP itself.

Technical versus operator risk

Technical scans report no immediate malware signatures, yet the site’s purpose—linking to pirated content—carries inherent legal and security exposure through third-party hosts.

Real visitor flow

Users land on the homepage, search for titles, and are directed to third-party streaming or download links hosted on Febbox infrastructure.

Why the score is 35

Site purpose is unauthorized streaming of copyrighted movies and TV shows. 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 showbox.media a scam or a legit website?

showbox.media shows strong warning signs of being a scam site — avoid interacting with it. 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 showbox.media safe to use?

showbox.media has a Safety Score of 35/100 (High Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 82%. Avoid login, payment and downloads.

What should I do if I already gave my details to showbox.media?

If you've already paid or handed over details on showbox.media, 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 showbox.media 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 showbox.media?

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.

Is my device at risk after visiting showbox.media?

Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.

How do I report showbox.media?

You can report showbox.media 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 showbox.media 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 showbox.media been flagged by antivirus engines?

No — all 91 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report showbox.media as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.

Is showbox.media on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — showbox.media 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.

Does showbox.media have a valid SSL certificate?

No — showbox.media has an invalid or broken SSL certificate, so browsers will show a security warning. Combined with the other signals, we recommend avoiding it.

Where is showbox.media hosted?

showbox.media resolves to an IP operated by OVH US LLC in US (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.

How often is the showbox.media report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on August 8, 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 showbox.media has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
