# PhishDestroy threat dossier — alphabonds.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-07 12:20:37 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/alphabonds.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 82/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/92 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 163.61.188.7 (US, Staten Island) ASN: AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE Hosting org: MIT Registrar: TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown Nameservers: dns1.lytehosting.com, dns2.lytehosting.com, dns3.lytehosting.com, dns4.lytehosting.com, ns1.serverfoundation.com, ns2.serverfoundation.com Registered: 2025-08-20 Page title: Home | Alpha Bonds HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-06-16 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 3f8514a298d38ca2cf0c0d49ef079e3f7eba689a41eac39e1181eb5d5be509a0 ## 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: 2025-08-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-15 16:26:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-15 13:27:48 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-07 11:29:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:49 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e2bcf-f0d9-723d-baea-c0dfc5d5eab1/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/dcf6e9b1-9a7a-4658-afc8-59a573c027d0 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/alphabonds.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.alphabonds.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=alphabonds.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/alphabonds.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/alphabonds.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-15 16:27:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies alphabonds.org as a newly active generic phishing domain impersonating legitimate bond investment platforms to harvest financial credentials and sensitive data. The site presents itself as a high-yield bond brokerage with professional branding, but lacks verifiable regulatory registration or FCA/SEC oversight documentation. Behavioral analysis reveals pressure tactics using fake limited-time offers and manipulated Terms & Conditions to rush users into depositing funds. This is not a false alarm — it is an active deception campaign under active monitoring with a confirmed threat vector. This domain was flagged with zero detections out of 95 engines on VirusTotal as of latest scan, indicating minimal signature-based detection coverage. It resolves to IP 163.61.188.7, registered through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown on August 20, 2025 — a mere days-old entity with no operational history in financial services. The Let's Encrypt SSL certificate offers no protection against phishing, as it validates domain ownership only. There are currently no active entries on major blocklists (e.g., PhishTank, OpenPhish, Google Safe Browsing), which is typical for newly deployed phishing domains awaiting reporting. Registrar Cosmotown has a neutral trust score but is frequently used for domain privacy masking in fraudulent campaigns. The combination of zero AV detection, fresh registration, and no reputation makes this a high-risk convergence point. Victims are lured via social media ads, email spam, and search engine poisoning targeting users searching for “high-yield bonds”, “corporate bond investments”, or “safe bond platforms”. The site mimics interfaces of regulated brokers (e.g., layout, disclaimers, fake testimonials), but requires users to upload ID, bank statements, and credit card details during “account setup”. Once credentials are captured, funds are drained via immediate unauthorized wire transfers. To mitigate exposure, users should avoid clicking ads for financial services and verify brokers via official regulators (FCA, SEC, ASIC). If you’ve engaged with alphabonds.org, cease all communication, revoke payment authorizations, and report the domain to your bank and to PhishDestroy under seed 32d06b for further analysis. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260515-6B697F Favicon MD5: 41bc0bff4865830abb45705e576fd152 TLS cert SHA-256: 3f8514a298d38ca2cf0c0d49ef079e3f7eba689a41eac39e1181eb5d5be509a0 ## 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 (volunteer 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/alphabonds.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=alphabonds.org 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
