Is 3191061127.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com legit or a scam?
DigitalOcean Spaces subdomain with inaccessible bucket; hosting platform documented as vector for phishing and tech-support scams.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The domain is a subdomain of DigitalOcean's legitimate object-storage service (Spaces), which threat actors routinely abuse to host phishing pages and scam content. Our antivirus network and browser blocklists show no flags for this specific subdomain, but the evidence package reveals a documented pattern: multiple independent threat-intelligence sources report widespread abuse of *.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com for 'cloud billing' phishing, tech-support scams, and malvertising. Similar random-ID subdomains (bbb6565u5gg.sfo3..., storage-uuu-45t45aa.sfo3...) are explicitly linked to active phishing campaigns. The bucket itself returns HTTP 403 Forbidden, consistent with private storage—common for both legitimate and malicious use. The subdomain has no direct scam reports tied to it, but the infrastructure pattern and hosting-platform abuse history create substantial risk.
