# PhishDestroy threat dossier — altgrainassets.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 09:24:08 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/altgrainassets.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Netcraft URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) 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.cprapid.com, ns2.cprapid.com Registered: 2025-11-26 Expires: 2026-11-26 Page title: altgrainassets - Investment ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 25cb0832bb16f3375b3c796a4555c98151296eef150dee111bb8ed3685a3716e ## 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: 2025-11-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 03:57:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 02:10:44 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 11:15:25 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b64-0013-75cf-b6cd-1f7db91fb425/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6d0a9833-297a-42e3-aaf5-366a8c25fa15 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/altgrainassets.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.altgrainassets.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=altgrainassets.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/altgrainassets.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/altgrainassets.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 04:46:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, altgrainassets.com, is actively engaged in credential theft targeting individuals seeking investment opportunities. Analysis of the page title, 'altgrainassets - Investment,' indicates an attempt to mimic legitimate financial asset platforms, likely to harvest login credentials, personal information, or financial details from unsuspecting users. The domain’s infrastructure and content suggest a focus on deceiving visitors into entering sensitive data under the guise of investment services, a common tactic in credential theft campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple indicators of malicious activity. The domain was registered on November 26, 2025, through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 163.61.188.7 and is flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with a Gridinsoft trust score of 1 out of 100. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist and has been identified in two threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX. The SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt, does not mitigate the risk, as it is commonly used by both legitimate and malicious actors to encrypt traffic and evade detection. Users who have visited altgrainassets.com or interacted with its content should take immediate action to mitigate potential compromise. Those who entered credentials or personal information should assume their data has been exposed and initiate password resets for all accounts using the same credentials. Monitoring for unauthorized transactions or account activity is strongly advised. If financial information was provided, contacting relevant institutions to report potential fraud is recommended. Additionally, affected users should scan their devices for malware, as credential theft domains often serve as vectors for secondary infections. Vigilance against follow-up phishing attempts via email or other communication channels is also critical. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-3F64D9 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 25cb0832bb16f3375b3c796a4555c98151296eef150dee111bb8ed3685a3716e ## 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/altgrainassets.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=altgrainassets.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
