# PhishDestroy threat dossier — 165-227-112-65.cprapid.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-27 23:57:16 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/165-227-112-65.cprapid.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 68/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 21/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, DNS8, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, MalwareURL, Netcraft, PREBYTES, Seclookup, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 165.227.112.65 (US, Clifton) ASN: ASAS14061 DIGITALOCEAN-ASN - DigitalOcean, LLC, US Hosting org: AS14061 DigitalOcean, LLC Registrar: Tucows Domains Inc. Nameservers: ["ns1.pdns.tech", "ns2.pdns.tech", "ns3.pdns.tech"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Default Web Site Page ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-18 15:28:03 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-27 20:21:23 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-01 04:57:30 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c70b6-f066-774a-8268-16e82701639e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/165-227-112-65.cprapid.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.165-227-112-65.cprapid.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=165-227-112-65.cprapid.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/165-227-112-65.cprapid.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/165-227-112-65.cprapid.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-23 23:47:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] 165.227.112.65.cprapid.com Safety Check — Generic Phishing The domain 165-227-112-65.cprapid.com was taken offline as of the report date, July 23, 2026, and no SSL certificate is present on the host. HTTP probing indicates the site is not serving content, returning an offline status. The page title that was observed before takedown was "Default Web Site Page," which offers no indication of a legitimate service and is commonly used by default web server installations. The domain resolves to IP address 165.227.112.65, hosted in the United States under AS14061 DigitalOcean, LLC. The IP is currently listed on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy feed. VirusTotal analysis recorded 21 detections out of 93 security vendors, confirming that multiple independent scanners flag the domain as malicious. Scamadviser assigned a trust score of 1 out of 100, reinforcing the low confidence in the site's legitimacy. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026 through Tucows Domains Inc. and uses the nameservers ns1.pdns.tech, ns2.pdns.tech, and ns3.pdns.tech. While the evidence clearly demonstrates malicious activity, the specific phishing payload or targeted brand has not been disclosed, leaving the exact social engineering technique uncertain. Defenders should add the domain and its IP address to deny‑list rules, continue monitoring the IP for any reactivation, and verify that client endpoints are protected against the 21 vendor‑reported detections. Continuous observation of the associated nameservers is advised, as future campaigns may reuse the same DNS infrastructure. ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/165-227-112-65.cprapid.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=165-227-112-65.cprapid.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
