Assessment

The domain sdl.link was recorded on 2026-10-08 with several security sources noting its presence, including a VirusTotal scan and listings on two external blocklists. On the same date, sdl.link was also internally listed by Phishdestroy, providing another source observation.

Recorded Evidence

On 2026-10-08, VirusTotal reported 6 detections out of 92 scanners for sdl.link. The domain appeared on the MetaMask and SEAL external blocklists as of that date. OTX referenced sdl.link in 2 pulses on 2026-10-08. Phishdestroy internally listed the domain, and its registrar was NAMECHEAP INC with a registration date of 2024-03-14.

Interpretation

The available records show that sdl.link was cited by multiple security sources on the same date, each providing a distinct observation. These include detection counts from VirusTotal, appearances on two named blocklists, and references in OTX pulses, as well as an internal listing by Phishdestroy. Each of these records offers a different perspective on how the domain has been tracked or categorized by various monitoring platforms.

Recommended Actions

For sdl.link, it is advisable to preserve the VirusTotal scan results, external blocklist entries, and OTX pulse references for ongoing review. Comparing these records over time may help identify changes in how the domain is classified by different security sources. Retaining the internal listing from Phishdestroy can also support further analysis or investigation.

Accreditation and RAA context

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.

RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Accountability draft Nothing is sent automatically.
