Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] On 12 July 2026, apedice.com was identified as an active generic phishing infrastructure. The domain was registered on 29 June 2026 through Fewmoretaps OU operating as Trustname.com. Its short age and immediate activation are consistent with opportunistic credential‑harvesting campaigns that aim to exploit fresh domains before reputation services can accrue data. The authoritative name servers for apedice.com are ns1.nameserverhub.com, ns2.nameserverhub.com, ns3.nameserverhub.com, and ns4.nameserver. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 66.198.225.39. No detections were reported on VirusTotal at the time of analysis (0/95 scans), indicating that the host has not yet been associated with known malware signatures. The combination of a newly registered domain, a set of generic name‑server providers, and a single public IP suggests a low‑cost hosting arrangement commonly used by phishing kits. While the current intelligence does not contain samples of the landing page or email templates, the classification as generic_phishing is derived from the domain’s registration pattern, hosting profile, and its inclusion in threat‑intel feeds as an active phishing site. The absence of public malware detections does not guarantee safety; many phishing pages are simple HTML forms that evade automated scanners. Consequently, the exact payload, targeted brands, and credential‑collection mechanisms remain unknown. Defenders should treat apedice.com as hostile. Immediate actions include adding the domain and its resolving IP address to block lists at network perimeter and email gateways. Continuous DNS monitoring is advised to detect any changes to the name‑server set or IP address that could indicate infrastructure migration. Where possible, sink‑hole the IP to disrupt traffic and collect any inbound requests for further forensic analysis. Organizations should also educate users about unsolicited messages that may reference the domain, emphasizing verification of URLs before credential entry. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 17/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-4867EB Favicon MD5: 37c40b3a7287eeb1108ead5339b3da73 TLS cert SHA-256: 7056e99e5f05d49fdd524133e5bf35254cdc88b7e6002203045904e7fc3eec9e ## 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 (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/apedice.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=apedice.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.
