pacifsern[.]com

This domain, pacifsern.com, is actively flagged as a high-risk phishing site targeting Pacific Southern Bank customers. Analysis indicates the domain resolves to IP address 163.61.188.7, hosted in the United States under an MIT-associated network. The site returns an HTTP 200 status, suggesting it is operational and serving content. The page title explicitly displays 'Pacific Southern Bank,' aligning with known phishing tactics to impersonate financial institutions. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain is registered through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, with nameservers hosted by LyteHosting (dns1.lytehosting.com through dns4.lytehosting.com). The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites due to its free and automated nature. While the certificate itself does not indicate malicious intent, its presence does not mitigate the domain's risk. Threat intelligence confirms the domain appears on at least one security blocklist, and AlienVault OTX includes it in two threat intelligence pulses, reinforcing its classification as malicious. Five of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, though the absence of detections from other vendors does not imply safety. The domain remains unblocked by most major security providers, which may allow continued exploitation if not proactively mitigated. Defenders should treat this domain as an active threat. Immediate actions include blocking the domain and its resolving IP (163.61.188.7) at the network level, updating endpoint protection rules, and alerting users to avoid interaction. Given the domain's association with a known financial brand, monitoring for credential harvesting or fraudulent transaction attempts linked to this infrastructure is recommended. Further investigation into the hosting provider and registrar may reveal additional connected threats or patterns of abuse.
