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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

plume-network.live Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

The website plume-network.live impersonates the Across brand and presents a cryptocurrency scam. The page title, "Claim Your Share of the Arbitrum Ecosystem | Up to $25,000 for Active Wallets," falsely promises financial rewards to lure users into connecting their wallets, posing a threat of cryptocurrency theft or unauthorized access.

Technical evidence shows the site was flagged by 7 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors and is listed on 1 blocklist. It was created on 2026-02-21 and is hosted on IP 45.9.148.51 (NL), registered with AS49447 Nice IT Services Group Inc. The SSL certificate is R11. Specific flagging entities include ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, and CyRadar.

The domain is currently DOWN/OFFLINE. Trust ratings are critically low, with GridinSoft at 0/100 and ScamAdviser at 11/100, and a DOM risk score of 63, indicating a high-risk threat.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 7/95 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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.
