Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is plutonovaflux.com a Phishing Site Targeting Financial Analysis of the domain plutonovaflux.com indicates it is actively associated with high-risk phishing activity as of July 27, 2026. The domain was registered on December 25, 2025, through Squarespace Domains LLC, a registrar frequently observed in malicious infrastructure due to its accessibility and bulk registration options. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to the IP address 163.61.188.2, with nameservers hosted under dns1.lytehosting.com, dns2.lytehosting.com, dns3.lytehosting.com, and dns4.lytehosting.com. Lyte Hosting has been previously linked to bulletproof hosting services, which are commonly exploited by threat actors to sustain phishing and malware distribution operations. Detection data from VirusTotal shows that 4 out of 91 security vendors flag plutonovaflux.com as malicious, a modest but notable detection rate that suggests early-stage identification of phishing behavior. The domain is also listed on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, a specialized anti-phishing service. No additional context regarding the specific brand being impersonated or the exact nature of the phishing content is currently available, as the page title and target brand have not been confirmed through available threat intelligence sources. Defenders are advised to treat this domain as hostile. Network-level blocking of the IP 163.61.188.2 and the domain plutonovaflux.com is recommended for enterprise and consumer security controls. Organizations should monitor for any internal traffic attempting to resolve this domain or communicate with its associated IP, as such activity may indicate compromised endpoints or user interaction with phishing material. Given the domain's recent creation and ongoing activity, further monitoring and updates to detection rules are warranted as additional threat intelligence emerges. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 15fe1ae96e6996def59788483aa2f080 TLS cert SHA-256: 5626cf366c7e77080610c064f1e3e7b21153d8bdd0f1d2eba8decffdce70e6e2 ## 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/plutonovaflux.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=plutonovaflux.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
