pipsdeals[.]com

The domain pipsdeals.com was registered on February 21, 2026 through Cosmotown, Inc. and is currently classified as a generic_phishing resource. Its public page title reads “1 new message,” a common indicator of credential‑stealing portals that prompt victims to enter login information. Network analysis shows the domain resolves to the IPv4 address 163.61.188.5, advertised by AS153568 (NEW DHAKA HARDWARE) and geolocated to the United States. The site serves content over HTTPS using a Let’s Encrypt R12 certificate, confirming the presence of a valid TLS handshake. Underlying web stack includes PHP, the LiteSpeed web server, and front‑end frameworks such as Bootstrap, jQuery, Owl Carousel, Lightbox, and assets delivered via jsDelivr and Google Hosted Libraries. Threat intelligence indicates the domain is listed on one active security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering engine. The site returns HTTP status code 200, indicating it is reachable and serving content. Automated reputation scoring from Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, reflecting a high confidence of malicious intent. VirusTotal scans have reported 0 detections out of 95 engines, which does not constitute a safety signal given the limited detection coverage at this early stage. Given the observed infrastructure, the presence of a phishing‑oriented page title, and the active blocklist entry, defenders should treat pipsdeals.com as hostile. Recommended actions include adding the domain and its resolved IP address to network deny lists, monitoring DNS queries for the associated nameservers (dns1.lytehosting.com, dns2.lytehosting.com, dns3.lytehosting.com, dns4.lytehosting.com), and employing email gateway rules to quarantine messages that reference the “1 new message” pattern. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised as additional telemetry becomes available.
