celestia[.]best

The domain celestia.best is currently active and has been classified as a high‑risk brand‑impersonation campaign targeting the Celestia brand. The site returns HTTP 200 and presents the page title “Celestia – My WordPress Blog”, indicating a WordPress installation backed by MySQL and PHP on an Nginx web server. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026 through NameCheap, Inc. and resolves to the IP address 207.244.91.208, which belongs to AS30633 Leaseweb USA, Inc. The authoritative name servers are ns309.sellvir.com and ns310.sellvir.com. An SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (R13) is in place, but the certificate does not mitigate the malicious intent. VirusTotal analysis shows eight of ninety‑three security vendors flag the domain as malicious, and the domain appears on three external blocklists, including PhishDestroy, CryptoFirewall, and Enkrypt. Gridinsoft’s trust score is 0 / 100, reinforcing the malicious assessment. While the exact payload or credential‑harvesting mechanisms have not been observed, the combination of brand‑impersonation labeling, active hosting, and multiple vendor detections suggests a phishing operation designed to lure Celestia users. Defenders should block the domain at perimeter filters, add the IP and name servers to deny‑list rules, and monitor DNS queries for the associated identifiers. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised in case the infrastructure changes or additional indicators emerge.
