What Is NFLBite?

NFLBite (nflbite.com) is a site with NFL football streams. It was founded by the same people who run the now-banned /r/NFLStreams section on Reddit. As of July 2023, the site nflbite.com has an estimated 417K monthly views, according to SimilarWeb, though that number could rise rapidly soon with the start of the football season coming. Streaming sites such as nflbite.com do go against the terms of service of the National Football League. The Wayback Machine estimates that nflbite.com was founded on July 22, 2019. The Internet Archive has saved the domain nflbite.com 311 times between July 22, 2019, and August 18, 2023.

Sucuri says the site nflbite.com doesn’t have malware or any important security issues and is a low security risk.

Some hardening improvements can be made:

  • Missing security header for ClickJacking Protection. Alternatively, you can use Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors ‘none’.
  • Missing security header to prevent Content Type sniffing. Affected pages:
    https://www.nflbite.com/404javascript.js
    https://www.nflbite.com/404testpage4525d2fdc
    https://www.nflbite.com/wp-content/themes/twentytwenty/
  • Missing Strict-Transport-Security security header.
  • Missing Content-Security-Policy directive. We recommend to add the following CSP directives (you can use default-src if all values are the same): script-src, object-src, base-uri, frame-src

However, these hardening improvements don’t impact the Sucuri grade.

To check this further I ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on the site nflbite.com and it says the page is clean. You can see the same here: Unmask Parasites scan for the site nflbite.com.

I also checked the site nflbite.com on VirusTotal and it isn’t malicious. You can see the same here: VirusTotal scan for the site nflbite.com.
