## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      168.76.227.173 (HK, Hong Kong)
ASN:             AS137951 ASLINE LIMITED
Hosting org:     Free State Education Department
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

989by.com fake 必赢 login portal – high-risk phishing site

Analysis of 989by.com on July 19, 2026 confirms an active phishing domain targeting users through a fraudulent login portal. The page title, 必赢登录入口 - 官方注册中心 - 网页端注册更轻松, explicitly presents itself as an official registration and login center, a common tactic to deceive victims into submitting credentials. Infrastructure review reveals the domain is registered through NameSilo, LLC and resolves to IP address 168.76.227.173. Nameservers ns1.domainnamedns.com and ns2.domainnamedns.com are in use, which have been observed in prior phishing campaigns but are not inherently malicious on their own. The domain is currently flagged by one security blocklist (PhishDestroy) and has been detected by 7 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate but not universal recognition of its malicious nature.  No specific brand ownership or legitimate affiliation with 必赢 has been verified, and the exact nature of the phishing kit or backend infrastructure remains unconfirmed. The HTTP 200 status confirms the site is live and serving content, though the absence of additional forensic data limits deeper classification. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and prioritize blocking it at DNS and network levels. Security teams are advised to monitor for credential submissions or redirects originating from 168.76.227.173 and review logs for connections to the nameservers. Given the domain's active status and clear phishing indicators, immediate containment is recommended.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       639433530ca83fa00448b3f788b27364
TLS cert SHA-256:      e8fd5123016082bd45603b75c7cc8c52b5677f457ff06ec4bf14bdf2dce823a8

## 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.
