# PhishDestroy threat dossier — 923826-gemini.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-15 21:20:21 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/923826-gemini.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 75/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Gemini ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: meilani.ns.cloudflare.com, venkat.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-09 Expires: 2027-07-09 HTTP response: 204 ## 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: 2026-07-09 14:08:57 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-15 22:03:05 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f46c6-7d30-7390-accf-32aae7287d40/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/923826-gemini.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.923826-gemini.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=923826-gemini.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/923826-gemini.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/923826-gemini.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-09 14:16:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an active brand impersonation threat targeting users of the Gemini cryptocurrency exchange platform. The site is designed to deceive visitors into believing they are interacting with the legitimate Gemini service, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive account information, financial theft, or installation of malicious software. Users may be tricked into entering login credentials, recovery phrases, or other confidential data, which could result in immediate asset loss or long-term account compromise. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on July 09, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. Infrastructure analysis reveals the site is protected by Cloudflare and utilizes HTTP/3, common tactics to obscure malicious activity and evade detection. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while legitimate, does not validate the site's authenticity. Only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal currently flag this domain, suggesting it remains largely undetected by automated systems and may bypass some security filters. If you have visited 923826-gemini.com or entered any information on the site, immediate action is required. First, disconnect the device from the internet to prevent potential data exfiltration. Next, change all passwords associated with your Gemini account, including those for linked email addresses or other financial services. Enable multi-factor authentication on all accounts if not already active. Monitor your Gemini account and connected wallets for unauthorized transactions, and consider revoking any active sessions or API keys. Scan the device for malware using updated security tools, as the site may have delivered malicious payloads. Report the incident to Gemini's official support team and relevant cybersecurity authorities to assist in tracking and mitigating the threat. ## 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/923826-gemini.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=923826-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.
