viabitminner[.]com

Analysis shows viabitminner.com is actively hosting a phishing campaign. The domain is registered through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown and presents a Let’s Encrypt R12 certificate, indicating encrypted communications but no elevated trust. DNS resolution points to IP 163.61.188.7, hosted in the United States and associated with the MIT network. The site returns HTTP 200 and the page title is reported as "viabit." Threat intelligence sources corroborate the malicious nature: AlienVault OTX lists the domain in two separate pulses, VirusTotal records five positive detections from ninety‑one vendors, and PhishDestroy has already blocked it. The domain appears on one additional security blocklist, and its authoritative nameservers are dns1.lytehosting.com through dns4.lytehosting.com, with an MX record pointing to viabitminner.com itself. While the exact content and credential‑capture mechanisms have not been publicly disclosed, the convergence of registration, hosting, and detection data confirms a high‑risk phishing operation. Defenders should immediately block the domain and its resolved IP, add the domain to outbound‑filter deny lists, and monitor for any outbound connections to the listed nameservers. Continued observation of traffic to the IP and periodic re‑scans are recommended to detect any changes in the payload or additional infrastructure components.
