Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] octopusenergylimited.com Safety Check — Phishing Detected The domain octopusenergylimited.com was registered on September 01, 2025 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. Since its creation it has been observed resolving to the IPv4 address 156.232.88.10 and using the authoritative name servers ns1.cloudoon.com, ns2.cloudoon.net, and ns3.cloudoon.org. Within a short period the domain was added to at least one public security blocklist and is currently listed by PhishDestroy as a blocked phishing source. VirusTotal analysis shows that two of ninety‑one scanning engines have raised detections, confirming that the domain is associated with malicious activity. The internal risk rating is high, and the operational status remains active, indicating that the infrastructure is still reachable. The use of the cloudoon name servers suggests the infrastructure is hosted on a shared cloud‑based DNS platform, a pattern frequently observed in recent phishing campaigns that rely on rapid domain provisioning. The hosting IP 156.232.88.10 is not presently linked to a known reputable service provider in public ASN databases, supporting the inference that the server may be part of a disposable hosting arrangement. No publicly available SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page metadata have been published, so the exact content served by the site cannot be verified at this time. Likewise, additional threat‑intel feeds such as OTX or further blocklists have not been referenced, leaving the broader distribution of the infrastructure unknown. Defenders should proactively block traffic to octopusenergylimited.com at perimeter firewalls and DNS resolvers, monitor for outbound connections to the hosting IP, and add the domain to internal blocklists. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑engine services is advised to capture any changes in detection status. Organizations receiving emails that appear to originate from Octopus Energy or related brands should treat any links to this domain as malicious and advise users to avoid interaction. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-BF7775 Favicon MD5: cbcfaf4958d19ee93fbf93a6e8639b6c TLS cert SHA-256: f374b098d32510efbbccf4929597b768d3e40ff97d75f4677f4bcf947fa699ef ## 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 (operator 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/octopusenergylimited.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=octopusenergylimited.com 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
