No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-26 01:47:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-30 06:17:09 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f012c-68a6-7375-a093-d167ff9ae0da/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/perplexity-platform.gitlab.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.perplexity-platform.gitlab.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=perplexity-platform.gitlab.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/perplexity-platform.gitlab.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/perplexity-platform.gitlab.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 01:56:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, perplexity-platform.gitlab.io, poses a high-risk credential harvesting threat designed to deceive users into submitting sensitive login information. Analysis indicates the site likely impersonates trusted platforms or services, presenting fraudulent login portals that capture usernames, passwords, and other authentication details. Such domains are commonly used in targeted phishing campaigns to gain unauthorized access to corporate or personal accounts, leading to data breaches, financial fraud, or further malware distribution. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain is hosted on GitLab Pages infrastructure, resolving to the IP address 35.185.44.232. The SSL certificate is issued by GlobalSign nv-sa, which, while legitimate, does not mitigate the malicious intent of the domain. As of the latest scan, only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal has flagged this domain, suggesting it may evade detection by many automated systems. The domain remains active, increasing the likelihood of successful phishing attempts against unsuspecting users. Users who have visited perplexity-platform.gitlab.io should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. First, cease all interaction with the domain and avoid entering any credentials or personal information. If credentials were submitted, reset passwords for all associated accounts, particularly those sharing the same or similar passwords. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) where available to add an additional layer of security. Monitor accounts for unusual activity, such as unauthorized logins or transactions, and report any suspicious incidents to the appropriate security teams or platforms. Organizations should block the domain and its associated IP (35.185.44.232) at the network level to prevent further access. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 66f9a1c3f2cfd0df1b570990e86d3095 TLS cert SHA-256: dd0525989e2180a70e046b83909bb7b33ba4b6f714e59de909ed068f9bd5b099 ## 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/perplexity-platform.gitlab.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=perplexity-platform.gitlab.io 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.
