Domain Security & Threat Intelligence Report

19/95 VT Taken Down Nov 20, 2025 1 Blocklist

96 Threat

PhishDestroy AI

HIGH

The domain downstreamscientific.ae presents a significant phishing risk, impersonating what appears to be a legitimate scientific entity. With a VirusTotal score of 19 out of 95, the domain has been flagged by multiple security sources, including a very low trust score of 1 on Scamadviser, which also describes it as 'Very Likely Unsafe'. The use of keywords potentially related to scams raises further concerns about its credibility.

Registered with ECOMM-201010, this domain is hosted on an IP address of 50.6.7.251. Identity concealment through WHOIS protection indicates an attempt to evade scrutiny. Additionally, the site has been identified as a threat by DNSFilter and reported as unsafe by Maltiverse, further substantiating its dubious nature. The presence of two blocklist entries underscores its malicious activity.

Currently, downstreamscientific.ae remains operational. PhishDestroy has taken steps to monitor this domain closely and has reported it to relevant authorities for potential takedown. Continuous vigilance is warranted given its alarming threat profile.

Beware of recovery scammers!
