Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] pacifsern.com Safety Check — Pacific Southern Bank Phishing Site This domain, pacifsern.com, is actively flagged as a high-risk phishing site targeting Pacific Southern Bank customers. Analysis indicates the domain resolves to IP address 163.61.188.7, hosted in the United States under an MIT-associated network. The site returns an HTTP 200 status, suggesting it is operational and serving content. The page title explicitly displays 'Pacific Southern Bank,' aligning with known phishing tactics to impersonate financial institutions. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain is registered through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, with nameservers hosted by LyteHosting (dns1.lytehosting.com through dns4.lytehosting.com). The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites due to its free and automated nature. While the certificate itself does not indicate malicious intent, its presence does not mitigate the domain's risk. Threat intelligence confirms the domain appears on at least one security blocklist, and AlienVault OTX includes it in two threat intelligence pulses, reinforcing its classification as malicious. Five of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, though the absence of detections from other vendors does not imply safety. The domain remains unblocked by most major security providers, which may allow continued exploitation if not proactively mitigated. Defenders should treat this domain as an active threat. Immediate actions include blocking the domain and its resolving IP (163.61.188.7) at the network level, updating endpoint protection rules, and alerting users to avoid interaction. Given the domain's association with a known financial brand, monitoring for credential harvesting or fraudulent transaction attempts linked to this infrastructure is recommended. Further investigation into the hosting provider and registrar may reveal additional connected threats or patterns of abuse. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 1fff7f0c3b3cd3b5389753bb214f0d7d TLS cert SHA-256: e31fd8e24769a872a11f8ded877a9bc7c0d1bf38340f117fe7d709e0a38d3ec6 ## 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/pacifsern.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pacifsern.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.
