# PhishDestroy threat dossier — apexfiduciarysuisse.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 23:18:20 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/apexfiduciarysuisse.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation (Sui) Targeted brand: foundation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 17/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Certego, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE URLQuery: 100 detections AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.23.193.170 (US, Buffalo) ASN: ASAS36352 AS-COLOCROSSING, US Hosting org: AS36352 HostPapa Registrar: Dynadot LLC Nameservers: dns1.geebytesdns.com, dns2.geebytesdns.com, ns1.nezercloud.com, ns2.nezercloud.com Registered: 2025-12-28 Page title: Home - Keystone Private Fund HTTP response: 429 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2025-12-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-12-31 16:08:58 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 00:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-11 21:06:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b752a-fcb8-72ae-9203-325ef3fa8215/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/apexfiduciarysuisse.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.apexfiduciarysuisse.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=apexfiduciarysuisse.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/apexfiduciarysuisse.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/apexfiduciarysuisse.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 23:47:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, apexfiduciarysuisse.com, is confirmed as a brand impersonation phishing site targeting foundation-related entities. Analysis of the page title, 'Home - Keystone Private Fund,' indicates an attempt to mimic legitimate financial or private fund services, likely to deceive victims into disclosing sensitive information or transferring assets. No crypto drainer kit signatures were identified, but the domain aligns with typical brand impersonation tactics used in credential harvesting or investment fraud schemes. Technical indicators reveal multiple red flags. The domain resolves to IP address 198.23.193.170, hosted on AS36352 (HostPapa) in the United States, and was registered on December 28, 2025, through Dynadot LLC. VirusTotal detection shows 17 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The domain appears on one security blocklist and lacks an SSL certificate, further degrading its legitimacy. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) entries were recorded at the time of analysis, though this may reflect delayed reporting rather than benign status. The domain is currently offline, reducing immediate risk to end users. However, the infrastructure remains a latent threat, as domains registered for phishing often resurface under different IPs or subdomains. The registrar, Dynadot LLC, has been associated with prior phishing campaigns, suggesting potential for re-registration or abuse of related domains. Organizations should monitor for similar naming conventions (e.g., 'fiduciary,' 'suisse,' or 'private fund') and block the IP 198.23.193.170 at perimeter defenses. Users who interacted with the domain should assume credential exposure and rotate passwords for financial or sensitive accounts. Proactive hunting for related domains registered under the same ASN or registrar is recommended to mitigate future threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 8515daf6a3363ec02dea6dd5f76e87c3 ## 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/apexfiduciarysuisse.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=apexfiduciarysuisse.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.
