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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-11-01 12:51:33 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-25 03:55:39 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-27 06:00:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/f7a1ee98-8ede-4124-91ee-fc25b0adce10/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/8989.life crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.8989.life Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=8989.life AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/8989.life URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/8989.life/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-27 04:42:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] 8989.life — Credential Harvesting Phishing Report This domain is classified under an elevated risk level due to its confirmed credential harvesting phishing activity. The page title, "6789 ỦY QUYỀN CHÍNH THỨC DUY NHẤT," suggests a targeted phishing campaign aimed at Vietnamese-speaking users, likely impersonating an official authorization or verification portal to steal login credentials. Analysis indicates the domain 8989.life is flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100. It resolves to the IP address 43.174.229.104 and is registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. The domain appears on 2 security blocklists and is referenced in 2 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Cloudflare for hosting, alongside technologies such as Vue.js, jsDelivr, jQuery, HSTS, and cdnjs. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, and the domain is currently offline but was previously blocked by ScamSniffer and PhishDestroy. Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediate blocking of the domain and its resolving IP (43.174.229.104) at the network perimeter. Security teams should monitor for any attempts to access this domain or related indicators of compromise (IOCs) within logs. End-user education should emphasize the risks of credential harvesting phishing, particularly for campaigns impersonating official authorization portals. If credentials were entered on this site, affected accounts should be reset, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be enforced where possible. Additionally, review and update threat intelligence feeds to include this domain and its associated infrastructure. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 634c5162521e2c28c90a688dd42625647b3f6d51d12cc31223248817ad7db4bd ## 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/8989.life/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=8989.life 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.
