protocol-rp[.]com

Analysis of protocol-rp.com indicates that the domain is actively being used for a phishing operation. The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on January 17, 2026 and remains active as of the report date. DNS resolution points to a single IP address, 160.153.0.6, and the authoritative name servers are ns23.domaincontrol.com and ns24.domaincontrol.com, both typical of GoDaddy’s default hosting.

The domain appears on one external security blocklist and is also listed by the PhishDestroy blocklist, providing independent corroboration of malicious intent. VirusTotal has processed the domain with 91 scanning engines, and none of the engines reported a detection at the time of analysis; however, the lack of detections does not constitute evidence of safety, especially given the confirmed blocklist entries. No additional threat‑intel such as OTX references, SSL certificate details, HTTP status codes, or page‑title information is presently available, leaving the surface‑web characteristics of the site unverified.

The certainty around the phishing classification stems from the blocklist presence and the registrar’s rapid domain creation timeline, while the absence of detailed payload or credential‑stealing evidence creates a gap in the full threat picture. Defenders should prioritize adding protocol-rp.com to local and network‑level deny lists, monitor traffic to the associated IP address (160.153.0.6) for anomalous connections, and consider broader domain‑control monitoring for other domains using the same nameservers. Ongoing collection of HTTP response data and content analysis is recommended to refine detection signatures and to confirm the specific phishing vectors employed by this infrastructure.
