Flagged .io Domains
60 shownFrequently Asked Questions
Are all .io websites scams?
No. The .io extension is not specifically high-risk, but it is still used by scammers. The TLD alone does not determine whether a specific domain is safe. Many legitimate sites use .io. This page lists only the specific .io domains flagged by threat-intelligence feeds — not the extension as a whole.
Why do scammers use .io domains?
Scammers favour cheap, fast-to-register extensions with slower abuse enforcement, because they expect the domain to be taken down within days. Registration cost and enforcement speed — not the extension's purpose — drive the choice.
How do I check if a specific .io site is safe?
Look it up here or on Google Safe Browsing and VirusTotal, and check its registration date with a WHOIS lookup. Very new domains imitating an established brand are a strong warning sign.
