Is r6kzxksro2-a17t7z1yx6tu.syd1.digitaloceanspaces.com legit or a scam?
Random DigitalOcean Spaces subdomain flagged as phishing by Kaspersky with no business or review history.
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
AI Security Analysis
The page is hosted on a DigitalOcean object-storage bucket that follows the standard random-name pattern used for temporary file hosting. Kaspersky flagged it as phishing while the rest of our antivirus network stayed clean and browser blocklists showed nothing. The subdomain has zero search mentions, no business registration, and no scam complaints, which is typical for throwaway phishing infrastructure. The parent domain is old and legitimate, but that does not protect individual buckets from abuse. The combination of the detection and the hosting pattern is enough to treat the link as dangerous.
