# PhishDestroy threat dossier — 192852-gemini.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-14 11:17:25 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/192852-gemini.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 72/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Gemini ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/95 security vendors flagged this domain URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: betty.ns.cloudflare.com, joaquin.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-09 Expires: 2027-07-09 HTTP response: 204 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 235e56d53fc96f1ba81c5bc1a1551a8b5e2fe0570f0c96730bb1c2b32d8a250b ## 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: 2026-07-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-10 10:53:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-12 16:54:39 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-14 12:20:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4b3a-5cbe-74cb-8280-6d22b342d2c0/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/0c9f1ebe-2d6f-41f0-84d5-99caccc95810 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/192852-gemini.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.192852-gemini.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=192852-gemini.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/192852-gemini.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/192852-gemini.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-10 10:55:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, 192852-gemini.com, is flagged for brand_impersonation targeting Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange platform. The site is designed to deceive users into believing they are interacting with the legitimate Gemini service, potentially facilitating credential harvesting, unauthorized transactions, or malware distribution. Given the domain's active status and targeted impersonation, users may be exposed to financial or data compromise if they engage with the site. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on July 09, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and employs an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend an appearance of legitimacy. As of the latest assessment, the domain has not been flagged by security vendors, with a VirusTotal detection count of 0/95. No blocklist entries or prior malicious associations have been identified, suggesting the campaign may still be in an early or evasive phase. Users who have visited 192852-gemini.com are advised to take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. Any credentials or sensitive information entered on the site should be considered compromised and reset across all platforms where identical or similar credentials may have been reused. System scans using updated security tools are recommended to detect potential malware infections. Additionally, users should monitor financial accounts and transaction histories for unauthorized activity. If interaction with the domain occurred, reporting the incident to relevant financial institutions and cybersecurity authorities is strongly encouraged to aid in broader threat containment efforts.

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/192852-gemini.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=192852-gemini.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.
