Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain rover-link.plus presents a generic phishing threat by impersonating the YouTube website to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. By displaying a page titled "YouTube," it aims to exploit user trust and lure victims into providing credentials or other personal data. This kind of phishing tactic can lead to unauthorized account access and potential identity theft. Technical analysis reveals that rover-link.plus was registered on March 16, 2026, through Tucows Domains Inc. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend a false sense of security to visitors. Despite this, VirusTotal scanning shows 0 out of 95 detections flagged, indicating it has not yet been widely recognized by antivirus engines. No blocklist count is currently available, but the domain remains active and under investigation, underscoring the evolving nature of this phishing risk. Users who have visited rover-link.plus should immediately cease any interaction with the site, especially refraining from entering login credentials or personal information. It is recommended to run thorough antivirus and anti-malware scans on their devices and change passwords for any potentially compromised accounts. Awareness of this domain’s tactics can help users avoid falling victim to the scam and protect their online security going forward. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 8664c8de3f90ca1e989902ac189d1605 ## 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/rover-link.plus/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rover-link.plus 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.
