REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — Trustname / Fewmoretaps OU !!! Trustname (IANA #4318) is a shell company declaring EUR 120 annual revenue, 1 employee, negative equity, Belarusian ownership.

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: 2026-06-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 13:08:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 11:14:09 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0de9-567f-7735-a93f-64ce2267e85c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/87254beb-a5b9-4f97-a284-9a470ce47bb2 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/alphanote.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.alphanote.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=alphanote.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/alphanote.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/alphanote.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 18:35:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, alphanote.org, is flagged as an active credential harvesting phishing site targeting users through deceptive login interfaces. Analysis indicates the domain is operational and designed to harvest sensitive authentication details, though no specific brand impersonation has been confirmed at this time. The infrastructure remains accessible and poses a direct threat to users encountering it through phishing campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 21, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com. It resolves to the IP address 38.97.40.99 and is currently flagged by 3 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain appears on one security blocklist and holds a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, indicating a complete lack of reputation. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic among phishing operators to mimic legitimacy. The page title, 'Alpha Note - Alpha Note,' provides no clear indication of a targeted brand but aligns with generic phishing templates. The domain remains active and continues to resolve, posing an ongoing risk to users. Organizations are advised to block the domain and its associated IP address at the network perimeter. Endpoint protection systems should be updated to include alphanote.org in their phishing detection rules. Users who may have interacted with the domain should be instructed to reset credentials and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. Security teams are encouraged to review logs for connections to 38.97.40.99 and investigate any related incidents. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-2CDA80 Favicon MD5: c8f5740c4d2c55b07df319652e4224b3 TLS cert SHA-256: 9b3a4e06b160e9026a0ddd1683e6d4d1d4b1a90783df94813373fe27ccd95674 ## 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/alphanote.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=alphanote.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.
