Investigation Brief

whos.tv is an AI reverse-image search tool for Japanese adult videos that matches user-uploaded screenshots to video codes, scenes, and performers. Clean security profile with valid TLS, no Safe Browsing flags, zero VirusTotal malicious detections, and no credential collection or deceptive downloads observed.

What the site does

Provides AI-powered image search for AV content using uploaded screenshots or pasted images to identify Japanese video codes (番号), timestamps, actors, and scene categories. Includes frame exploration, actor database, rankings, and community features. Operates as a search index only with no video hosting.

Strongest evidence and limitations

Domain registered December 2023 (969 days old); valid TLS from Google Trust Services; Google Safe Browsing clean; VirusTotal 0/95 malicious; privacy policy and service terms explicitly state no video hosting and data use limited to search. Verified X account @whos__tv linked. No popups, redirects, or download attempts recorded. Limitations: adult content category carries inherent operator risk; partial external ratings available; no independent audits found.

Practical user impact

Users can safely search adult content via images without malware risk. Account registration optional; uploads processed for matching only. Avoid sharing sensitive personal details. Standard browser protections sufficient; site displays clear disclaimers and age-appropriate language.

Why the score is 78

The saved analysis does not include enough completed checks for a Safe rating. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before you trust

We couldn't gather enough signal for a confident verdict — tread carefully.

  1. Find the company through independent channels

    Search for the business on LinkedIn, an official registry (Companies House, OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR), or via the brand's known social channels. If you can't trace a real entity, that itself is a red flag.

  2. Never pay by crypto, gift card, or bank transfer

    If the site forces an irreversible payment method, stop. Cards and PayPal give you chargeback protection — irreversible methods don't.

  3. Ask the forum

    Post the URL in the MalwareTips Scam Reports forum — experienced members often recognise patterns immediately.

08 · 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 whos.tv a scam or is it safe?
whos.tv has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is whos.tv safe to use?
whos.tv has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 75%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has whos.tv been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 95 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report whos.tv 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 whos.tv on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — whos.tv 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.
How old is the whos.tv domain?
whos.tv is 2.7 years old, registered on December 6, 2023 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does whos.tv have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — whos.tv presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 87 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is whos.tv hosted?
whos.tv resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). 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 whos.tv report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 2, 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 whos.tv has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
