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: 2025-07-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 22:47:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 19:50:21 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-03 03:25:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e84b7-88c5-7761-aba1-34f8d723b63a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/2988bfc1-dd83-4199-bad7-6e99e131c3c7 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pltba09083.shop crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pltba09083.shop Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pltba09083.shop AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pltba09083.shop URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pltba09083.shop/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:42:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain pltba09083.shop has been identified as a phishing threat, specifically targeting users with a fake YouTube copyright strike notification page titled 'Yоutubе | Copyright strikes'. The domain is currently offline and poses a high risk to anyone who may have interacted with it. This threat is a classic example of credential harvesting, designed to trick users into entering their login details under the guise of resolving a copyright issue. Technical analysis reveals that pltba09083.shop was registered on July 22, 2025, through Web Commerce Communication Ltd., and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3. The domain is flagged as phishing by Google Safe Browsing and appears on one security blocklist. VirusTotal reports that 17 out of 95 security vendors classify this domain as malicious, indicating broad consensus among the security community. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), which may lend a false sense of legitimacy. Additionally, AlienVault OTX has detected this domain in one threat intelligence pulse, confirming its inclusion in known threat actor campaigns. Given that pltba09083.shop is now offline, the immediate risk of further compromise is reduced. However, users who may have visited the site or entered credentials should change their passwords immediately and enable two-factor authentication on their accounts. PhishDestroy recommends always verifying URLs before entering sensitive information, especially when receiving unsolicited messages about account issues. Security teams should block this domain and monitor for related domains using similar patterns. For ongoing protection, users are advised to use reputable security tools and stay informed about emerging phishing tactics. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260601-CA0034 Favicon MD5: 9f33212b5ee70133ab3ed86ca00cc3b3 TLS cert SHA-256: 356681118d9e2425e499229dfda99419cfd08a1232f26748d9ea3fbc972f183b ## 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/pltba09083.shop/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pltba09083.shop 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.
