No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-27 20:33:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 21:04:09 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 20:35:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] pearlgclutch.run credential harvesting site detected The domain pearlgclutch.run is presently active and has been identified as a generic phishing site used for credential harvesting. Registration information shows it was created through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly associated with high‑profile domain management. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain is served by the nameservers ns911a.microsoftinternetsafety.net and ns911b.microsoftinternetsafety.net, indicating the hosting environment is linked to Microsoft‑related DNS infrastructure. An HTTP request to the root URL returns a 302 redirect, a behavior often employed to forward victims to malicious login pages or to conceal the final landing page. Threat intelligence sources have placed pearlgclutch.run on one security blocklist and it is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service. VirusTotal scans report that 15 of 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation engines flag the domain as malicious, providing additional corroboration of its abusive nature. The current operational status remains active, confirming that the infrastructure continues to be reachable for potential victims. No further public evidence such as page title or SSL certificate details is currently available, leaving the exact content of the hosted page unverified. Absence of SSL/TLS certificate information prevents assessment of certificate trust metrics, which is a gap that should be addressed by future scans. Given the observed indicators, defensive teams should immediately block any network traffic to pearlgclutch.run at the DNS and proxy layers, and include the domain in URL filtering rules. Continuous monitoring of the associated nameservers and any newly observed IP addresses is advisable, as the infrastructure could be leveraged for additional phishing campaigns. Security operations centers should also correlate any observed credential theft incidents with this domain and consider threat‑hunting activities that examine logs for requests to the identified nameservers. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 57827fa88083035e2381d11a25a7825f58138a6d1a4c8d389c6a9b841720f4bd ## 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/pearlgclutch.run/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pearlgclutch.run 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.
