artifydigital[.]net

artifydigital.net was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on 21 February 2026. The domain resolves to IP 163.61.188.5, which belongs to AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE and is geolocated in the United States. DNS resolution uses four nameservers (dns1.lytehosting.com, dns2.lytehosting.com, dns3.lytehosting.com, dns4.lytehosting.com). The site presented the page title “Discover digital art and collection” before being taken offline.

An SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (R12) was observed, and the web server identified LiteSpeed with Bootstrap, jQuery and HTTP/3 support. On VirusTotal, seven of ninety‑three scanning engines flagged the domain as malicious, indicating a moderate detection rate. The domain appears on one external security blocklist and is listed by PhishDestroy as a confirmed phishing site. The current operational status is offline, which limits further live analysis.

The evidence points to a generic phishing campaign that likely leveraged the “digital art” theme to lure victims, but the exact phishing vector, credential collection method, and target audience have not been publicly disclosed. Defenders should block the domain at the DNS and proxy layers, add the IP address 163.61.188.5 to network deny lists, and ensure that any outbound connections to the identified nameservers are monitored. Continuous monitoring of threat intel feeds for re‑registration attempts or related indicators is recommended, as attackers frequently recycle infrastructure after takedown. Organizations should also review email filtering rules for subject lines or content referencing digital art collections, given the page title observed, and consider sharing the indicator set with industry ISACs to accelerate collective detection.
