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 shows that this site is actively blocked by major browser security filters due to social engineering risks. Seven independent antivirus engines, including Kaspersky, Emsisoft, and Fortinet, have explicitly flagged the domain as a phishing threat. While the page currently shows an 'Account Suspended' message, this is a frequent occurrence when hosting providers or security teams disrupt a live scam operation. The domain's history and the consensus among our security partners indicate it was designed to harvest sensitive information under the guise of a decentralized finance platform. We found no evidence of legitimate business activity or transparent ownership.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

  • The site currently displays a generic 'Account Suspended' message, which often indicates that the hosting provider has taken action against malicious activity.
  • Internal metadata and previous scan patterns suggest the site was themed around 'Planet of DeFi,' likely targeting cryptocurrency users.
  • The page lacks any legitimate contact information, physical addresses, or social media presence.

Infrastructure

  • The site is hosted on IP 216.252.233.14, which has been associated with various short-lived phishing landing pages.
  • It utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common choice for scammers because it provides a 'secure' padlock icon at no cost.

Domain History

  • The domain was registered 527 days ago, but it lacks any global traffic ranking, suggesting it is used for targeted attacks rather than public business.
  • The registration details are hidden behind a privacy service, preventing the verification of the actual operator.

Web Reputation

  • Seven major security vendors have blacklisted this URL for phishing and malicious intent.
  • Major browser blocklists have flagged the site for social engineering, which typically triggers a red warning screen for visitors.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review flags planetofdefi.com as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — planetofdefi.com scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. planetofdefi.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 58 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • planetofdefi.com is 1.4 years old, registered on 1/11/2025 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 7 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged planetofdefi.com as malicious or suspicious (7 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • Yes. The major browser blocklist feeds flagged planetofdefi.com with the following threat categories: SOCIAL_ENGINEERING. This protects billions of browser users from visiting the site.
  • planetofdefi.com resolves to an IP operated by THC Servers Global, LLC in NL (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 22, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around planetofdefi.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
