operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

plume-network.top Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

This site, plume-network.top, was designed as a cryptocurrency scam that impersonates the Across brand. The page title, "Claim Your Share of the Arbitrum Ecosystem | Up to $25,000 for Active Wallets," indicates it attempted to lure users with false promises of a token airdrop or reward. The threat posed is credential theft or wallet compromise, as users would likely be prompted to connect their wallets or provide sensitive information.

Technical evidence shows the domain was flagged by 5 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, with detections from ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Fortinet, and Seclookup. It appears on 1 blocklist. The domain was created on 2026-02-21 and is hosted on IP 45.9.148.51 in the Netherlands, under AS49447 Nice IT Services Group Inc. SSL certificate type R11 was observed.

The current status of the site is DOWN/OFFLINE, indicating it is no longer accessible. The domain risk score is 63, reflecting a high-risk profile. Given the impersonation, scam type, and low detection rate, this domain posed a significant threat to cryptocurrency users.

## 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.
