Confidence
The domain has been registered for over 15 years and is officially linked to Alibaba Cloud and the Zhejiang Taobao Network. It serves as a backend delivery system rather than a consumer-facing website, which explains why it may appear blank or non-functional if visited directly. While some automated security tools occasionally flag its subdomains, these are widely recognized as false positives by the security community. The high traffic volume and long-standing business registration confirm its role as a critical piece of global e-commerce infrastructure. Our analysis shows no evidence of malicious intent or fraudulent activity.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The domain does not host a traditional website for users to interact with; instead, it functions as a Content Delivery Network (CDN) node. It primarily serves static assets like images, CSS, and JavaScript for the Alibaba ecosystem. Direct visits to the root URL typically result in a blank page or a server error, which is standard behavior for this type of infrastructure.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted on IP addresses belonging to Alibaba Cloud (Beijing) and utilizes Taobao's dedicated nameservers. It handles massive amounts of global traffic, placing it within the top 1,000 most-visited domains globally. The technical setup is consistent with a large-scale enterprise CDN.

Domain History

Registered in August 2010, the domain has a continuous history of over 15 years under the same corporate ownership. This longevity is a strong indicator of legitimacy, as scam domains are typically short-lived and frequently rotated.

Web Reputation

The domain maintains a clean reputation across our antivirus network with zero active detections. Community discussions on technical forums confirm that DNS queries to this domain are a normal part of using apps like AliExpress, Temu, or Taobao. Independent trust aggregators also verify its status as a legitimate business asset.

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 tbcache.com and not a lookalike like t-bcache.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 tbcache.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • tbcache.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 97/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • tbcache.com is 15.9 years old, registered on 8/12/2010 through Alibaba Cloud Computing (Beijing) Co., Ltd.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report tbcache.com as clean.
  • No. tbcache.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • tbcache.com resolves to an IP operated by Zhejiang Taobao Network Co.,Ltd in CN (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.
  • Yes. tbcache.com sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 19, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around tbcache.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
