Domain Security & Threat Intelligence Report

14/95 VT Taken Down Jan 20, 2026 1 Blocklist

71 Threat

PhishDestroy AI

HIGH

The domain emtesla.us has been identified as a phishing site impersonating a legitimate entity. It has a VirusTotal score of 14 out of a possible 95, indicating a significant risk. Scamadviser rates this site as 'Very Likely Unsafe' with a trust score of just 1. The domain is particularly dangerous as it utilizes WHOIS privacy services to obscure its ownership details, coupled with non-functional email addresses for registrant and technical contacts, further suggesting malicious intent.

Registered just three days ago with CNOBIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, emtesla.us is hosted on an IP address associated with potentially malicious activity. The site has been flagged by multiple sources with warnings indicating a low rank on Tranco, reinforced by the very low trust score from Scamadviser. Although the SSL certificate is valid and DNSFilter considers the site safe, these factors do not mitigate the overall risks posed by the domain.

PhishDestroy has confirmed the status of emtesla.us as taken down, having reported it and blocklisted the domain. Continuous monitoring will ensure that any re-emergence of this threat is promptly addressed to protect users from phishing attempts.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →
