The domain bafkreib6otoy5ydndmpdpc7afst4cmpmrrjh37hxfcb3fvx6odgoj3iexu.ipfs.dweb.link is flagged by 14 out of 92 vendors on VirusTotal for phishing activities. This site, now offline, was designed to mimic email login pages, a common tactic to harvest user credentials. Hosted on IP 209.94.90.2 in the US, the domain was registered through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.

The site's SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, a free and automated certificate authority. The use of Let's Encrypt is typical for phishing sites, as it allows them to appear more legitimate to unsuspecting users by displaying the secure padlock icon in browsers. Despite being offline, the domain was actively used to deceive users into entering their email credentials.

PhishDestroy's blocklist includes this domain, highlighting its malicious intent. The site was hosted under the organization Protocol Labs, known for hosting decentralized web content. This affiliation with IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) may have been an attempt to exploit the trust associated with decentralized platforms. The domain's presence on only one public blocklist suggests it was relatively new or not widely reported before being taken down. This case underscores the importance of early detection in combating phishing threats.
