# PhishDestroy threat dossier — alignicmining.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 05:38:08 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/alignicmining.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation Targeted brand: Gemini ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, Netcraft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 185.244.151.84 (RO, Bucharest) ASN: ASAS60117 HS Host Sailor Ltd, AE Hosting org: AS60117 Host Sailor Ltd Registrar: OwnRegistrar, Inc. Nameservers: ns3.ro.hostsailor.com, ns4.ro.hostsailor.com, null Registered: 2025-07-23 Expires: 2026-07-23 Page title: AlignInvest CoinageMining HTTP response: 502 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-08-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: e162d1955737853bfd203c3cdb617827892702cba5b92eb7c8caa0326edd751d Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - alignicmining.com.faststagecl.com - www.alignicmining.com.faststagecl.com ## 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: 2025-07-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 16:51:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-29 14:54:53 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 04:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 18:17:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f13db-55d3-712c-84de-cb2e4fbdab64/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c82e1ab6-5dd3-4940-81d5-9917d8cd99fc Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/alignicmining.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.alignicmining.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=alignicmining.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/alignicmining.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/alignicmining.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 16:56:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Domain alignicmining.com is flagged for a generic phishing threat and remains under investigation with an active status. No specific brand impersonation has been identified at this time, but the domain exhibits characteristics consistent with phishing campaigns targeting unsuspecting users. Infrastructure analysis reveals that alignicmining.com is registered through OwnRegistrar, Inc. and was created on July 23, 2025. The domain resolves to IP address 185.244.151.84 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 vendors, indicating the domain has not yet been widely flagged by security platforms. However, the recent creation date and registrar choice are common indicators of phishing infrastructure. No blocklist entries or trust scores are currently available, but the lack of detections does not eliminate risk. Given the domain's active status and generic phishing classification, immediate caution is advised. Users should avoid clicking any links or submitting credentials on alignicmining.com. Organizations should block access to this domain and monitor for related phishing attempts. Recommendations include adding the domain to deny lists, conducting user awareness training, and reporting the domain to relevant threat intelligence feeds for further analysis.

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/alignicmining.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=alignicmining.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.
