# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pleiartdes.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 07:19:30 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pleiartdes.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 94/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Apple (and: shopify) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 16/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 182.16.35.250 (HK, Tung Chung) ASN: ASAS45753 NETSEC-HK Netsec Limited, HK Hosting org: AS45753 Netsec Limited Registrar: NameMart Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: ns1.domainnamens.com, ns2.domainnamens.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Shopee ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none 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) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-18 20:53:39 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-27 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-14 06:10:18 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bd2d7-c226-7019-9780-7982d02eddc3/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pleiartdes.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pleiartdes.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pleiartdes.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pleiartdes.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pleiartdes.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 05:02:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This report details the technical analysis of the domain pleiartdes.com. The site displayed a page title of "Shopee" and was identified as an impersonation scam specifically targeting the brand "Apple." The primary threat posed is brand impersonation, where the site likely attempted to deceive visitors into believing they were interacting with a legitimate Apple or Shopee-related service to potentially harvest credentials or financial information. Technical evidence confirms the malicious nature of the site. VirusTotal scans returned 16 detections out of 95 vendors, with specific flags from ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, and CRDF. The domain was registered through NameMart Pte. Ltd. and created on 2026-02-21. Its IP address is 182.16.35.250, hosted in Hong Kong by AS45753 Netsec Limited. The site had no SSL certificate, indicating a lack of secure connections. The nameservers were ns1.domainnamens.com and ns2.domainnamens.com. As of the analysis, the domain status is DOWN/OFFLINE. The GridinSoft trust rating is 0 out of 100, and the DOM risk score is 25. Despite being offline, the recent creation date and high detection rate indicate a high risk level for any user who may have visited the site while it was active. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260118-D2DF35 Favicon SHA-256: 282801a0d182035440d5ef6d429d227126d2e6720a52b91d31a7d746c758154e ## 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/pleiartdes.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pleiartdes.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
