## Stored PhishDestroy analysis

Overview
PhishDestroy classified ankergams.net as a suspicious redirector because it points to a confirmed phishing domain. The domain was first seen by PhishDestroy on 2026-10-26, three days after registration, and the recorded HTTP response was a 301 redirect to ankergamers.com with the page title “ankergamers.com | 522: Connection timed out”.

How the scam works
Redirector domains are commonly used to hide the final destination by first sending users to a short‑lived or innocuous URL that forwards to a malicious site. The primary risk observed here is the redirection itself, which can lead users to credential‑stealing or fraudulent pages.

Evidence
VirusTotal scanned the domain on 2026-10-27 and reported 2 detections out of 92 engines, labeling it malicious (CRDF) and suspicious (SOCRadar). Google Safe Browsing checked on the same day and did not flag the domain. urlscan captured the redirect on 2026-10-26; its automated engine marked the URL as malicious with a score of 93, while the overall verdict was non‑malicious. Spamhaus DBL listed the domain as spam on 2026-10-27. OTX recorded four pulses mentioning the domain on 2026-10-27. PhishDestroy’s internal blocklist contained the domain, and external blocklists showed no entries at the time of checking.

Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-10-23 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. DNS records resolve to Cloudflare‑managed addresses, including IPv6 2a06:98c1:3120::3 and IPv4 188.114.96.3, with nameservers kaiser.ns.cloudflare.com and suzanne.ns.cloudflare.com. The TLS certificate is a Let’s Encrypt certificate issued by YE2, valid from 2026-10-23 to 2027-01-21. Cloudflare’s web application firewall was observed, and DNSSEC was not enabled.

What to do
Avoid following the redirect or entering any credentials on the target site; if credentials were entered, change the associated passwords and monitor accounts for unusual activity. Network defenders should block ankergams.net, log any requests to it, and keep watch for updates related to the linked phishing domain.
