# PhishDestroy threat dossier — api.semiconductor.samsung.cn
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-21 07:34:19 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/api.semiconductor.samsung.cn/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 45/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      0/91 security vendors flagged this domain
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
HTTP response:   404

## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
First detected:    2026-07-19 12:59:55 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-21 08:20:23 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:58 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

api.semiconductor.samsung.cn: Confirmed Phishing Site

The domain api.semiconductor.samsung.cn is currently listed on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy. HTTP requests to the host return a 302 redirect, a pattern frequently observed in credential‑harvesting infrastructure. VirusTotal records indicate the domain has been scanned by 91 AV engines, with none reporting a detection at the time of analysis; this lack of detections does not constitute a safety assurance. The domain’s status is marked as active and the risk level remains under investigation, reflecting limited publicly available intelligence. No additional metadata such as registration details, hosting ASN, or content analysis is presently available, leaving the full scope of the campaign uncertain. Defenders should continue to enforce existing blocklist rules, consider adding the domain to internal deny lists, and monitor outbound traffic for attempts to resolve or contact the host. Network logs should be reviewed for any connections to the domain, and any credential submissions originating from internal users should be treated as potentially compromised. Ongoing observation of threat‑intel feeds for new sightings or expanded attribution is recommended.

## 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.
