Does pegasus-sale.ru have a valid SSL certificate?

Where is pegasus-sale.ru hosted?

pegasus-sale.ru resolves to an IP operated by SPRINTHOST.RU - shared/premium hosting, dedicated servers, VDS in RU (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit).

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.

Confidence

Our analysis confirms this site is a phishing operation targeting travelers. Five major security providers, including BitDefender, ESET, and Webroot, have explicitly flagged the domain as malicious. The page uses the branding and imagery of Pegasus Airlines to appear legitimate, yet it operates on a non-official '.ru' domain that is not affiliated with the Turkish carrier. We found no valid contact email or physical address, which are standard for real travel agencies. The site's primary goal is to trick users into providing payment details for non-existent flight tickets.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site perfectly mimics the official Pegasus Airlines interface, offering flight searches for destinations like Rome, Barcelona, and Dubai. It uses professional-looking meta descriptions and flight schedules to build a false sense of authority. However, the lack of a corporate email address or a verifiable physical office is a major red flag for a travel service.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on a Russian IP address (141.8.192.14) and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. While the connection is encrypted, this only means the data sent to the scammers is private, not that the business is legitimate. It loads external scripts from third-party counters and font services to maintain its appearance.

Domain History

The domain uses a '.ru' extension which is inconsistent with the official 'flypgs.com' domain used by the airline. WHOIS data is hidden or unavailable, a common tactic for ephemeral phishing sites. The domain is not indexed in global traffic rankings, suggesting it is a recent creation used for targeted fraud.

Web Reputation

The reputation is extremely poor within our security network. BitDefender, ESET, G-Data, SOCRadar, and Webroot all categorize this specific URL as a phishing threat. There are no positive records or independent business registrations associated with this domain.

Risk Factors

Confirmed as phishing by BitDefender, ESET, and Webroot.
Impersonates the official Pegasus Airlines brand without authorization.
Uses a suspicious '.ru' domain instead of the official airline domain.
No verifiable corporate contact information or physical address provided.
Not indexed in global traffic rankings, typical of short-lived scam sites.
Requests sensitive payment information (Visa, MasterCard, Mir) on an unverified platform.

Positive Signals

The site uses a valid SSL certificate for encrypted communication.

AI Recommendation

Avoid this website entirely and do not enter any payment or passport information. Only book flights through the official Pegasus Airlines website at flypgs.com.
