# PhishDestroy threat dossier — gemini.zeroplus.plus ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-26 18:34:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/gemini.zeroplus.plus/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: gemini ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 17/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, BitDefender, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Trustwave, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 43.167.225.144 (JP, Tokyo) ASN: ASAS132203 TENCENT-NET-AP-CN Tencent Building, Kejizhongyi Avenue, CN Hosting org: AS132203 Tencent Building, Kejizhongyi Avenue Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: 验证页面 - Gemini Balance ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: R12 Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:19:21 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-26 21:20:28 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-09 03:23:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bca9b-2132-718d-bc13-db96ca8caff7/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/gemini.zeroplus.plus crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.gemini.zeroplus.plus Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=gemini.zeroplus.plus AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/gemini.zeroplus.plus URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/gemini.zeroplus.plus/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 00:07:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified gemini.zeroplus.plus as an active brand impersonation threat targeting users of the Gemini cryptocurrency platform. This malicious domain attempts to deceive victims by mimicking Gemini’s branding and displaying a page titled "验证页面 - Gemini Balance," which suggests a verification page designed to harvest sensitive credentials. Such impersonation attacks are critical because they can lead to unauthorized access, financial loss, and compromise of personal data. The domain gemini.zeroplus.plus was registered recently, on February 21, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 43.167.225.144. It currently appears on one security blocklist and has been flagged by 17 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a consensus about its malicious intent. The domain remains active, signaling an ongoing risk to users who may encounter it through phishing emails or deceptive links. The infrastructure suggests deliberate efforts to exploit Gemini’s brand to harvest credentials or deploy other malicious actions. Users should exercise caution and avoid interacting with gemini.zeroplus.plus or any suspicious URLs claiming to represent Gemini. Always verify website addresses by navigating directly to the official Gemini site rather than clicking on links received via unsolicited messages. Reporting any suspicious sites to cybersecurity platforms and keeping security software up to date will help mitigate exposure to such threats. Vigilance is essential to prevent falling victim to this high-risk impersonation campaign. ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/gemini.zeroplus.plus/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gemini.zeroplus.plus Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
