Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      4/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 7 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     R10
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)

Last verified:     2026-05-03 03:14:25 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:23:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy classifies plasma-connect.to as a medium-risk phishing domain engaging in generic phishing tactics. Users should exercise caution when interacting with this site.

The domain plasma-connect.to, created in February 2026, is active and appears on seven security blocklists. VirusTotal flags it with 4 out of 95 security vendors, resolving to IP 23.111.160.242, indicating suspicious infrastructure consistent with phishing behavior.

Users are advised to avoid this domain and refrain from entering sensitive information. Continuous monitoring is in place as plasma-connect.to remains active. Reporting any encounters with this domain helps strengthen defenses against phishing threats.

## 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.
