Stored registration data identifies NameSilo as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate registrar investigations; that broader material is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
PhishDestroy identifies adblockplus.digital as an active generic-phishing domain masquerading as the legitimate AdBlock Plus browser extension. The threat is classified as under_investigation with an elevated risk signal due to its recent registration and current operational status. Users who download the installer from this domain risk installing unwanted software, browser hijackers, or credential-stealing binaries instead of the intended privacy tool. The domain leverages the Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate and may be promoted through malvertising or spoofed update notifications. This domain was flagged with 1 out of 95 VirusTotal detections as of the seed 443c49 scan, indicating zero coverage by current antivirus engines. It was registered through NameSilo, LLC on March 30, 2026, and resolves to IP address 104.21.81.6. No blocklist entries or trust-score penalties are currently recorded, leaving it undetected by mainstream reputation systems. The recent creation date—within the last 24 hours—coupled with the lack of detection, suggests a fast-moving campaign targeting users searching for ad-blocking solutions. Mitigation requires immediate network and endpoint action. Block adblockplus.digital and its resolving IP 104.21.81.6 at firewall and DNS levels. Instruct users to download AdBlock Plus only from the official site https://adblockplus.org or verified browser stores. Monitor endpoints for unusual browser extensions or process launches related to AdBlock Plus. Conduct phishing awareness training emphasizing verification of download sources and SSL indicators. Report any observed redirects or installer hashes to threat intelligence platforms to accelerate detection and takedown.

What we count
Elapsed time from the first stored abuse report to the first observation that the content was unavailable. This does not establish the cause.
What each report contains
Stored outgoing-report records may reference evidence available at the time, such as vendor verdicts, registration data, hosting details, classifications, or screenshots. This page does not infer the exact payload delivered, receipt, acknowledgement, or action by a recipient.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
