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.

Confidence
The site is heavily flagged by our antivirus network, with 17 different engines including BitDefender, CyRadar, and Forcepoint confirming it as a threat. The page content claims to be under 'Temporary Maintenance' following a 'severe cyberattack,' which is a common social engineering tactic used to explain away technical anomalies or security warnings to a visitor. Despite being over 200 days old, the domain has no global traffic ranking and provides zero contact information, which is inconsistent with a legitimate service provider. The combination of high detection rates and deceptive 'maintenance' messaging indicates a high risk of malware or credential theft.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The landing page displays a generic 'Maintenance Mode' message claiming the site is recovering from a cyberattack. This is a classic deceptive tactic used by malicious actors to maintain a domain's presence while hiding active phishing or malware delivery scripts from casual observation.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on IP 186.2.171.26 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. While the hosting IP itself does not have a high abuse score, the domain is registered through NameSilo and lacks any verifiable business identity or contact details.

Domain History

Registered 209 days ago, the domain has failed to establish any legitimate web presence or traffic footprint. The lack of a global traffic index suggests it is used for targeted attacks rather than public-facing services.

Web Reputation

Our security partners have reached a strong consensus on this domain's intent. Engines such as ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, and Chong Lua Dao specifically identify it as a source of phishing and malicious activity.

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 flags urshort.live as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — urshort.live scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. urshort.live presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR2, expiring in 80 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • urshort.live is 6 months old, registered on 11/25/2025 through NameSilo, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 20 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged urshort.live as malicious or suspicious (17 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. urshort.live is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • urshort.live resolves to an IP operated by IQWeb FZ-LLC in BZ (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 23, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around urshort.live have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
