# PhishDestroy threat dossier — appcorestake.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-06 15:51:59 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/appcorestake.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: plato.ns.cloudflare.com, princess.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-05 Expires: 2027-07-05 Page title: Belqora Security Inc. | AI Cybersecurity Platform ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-03 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 1c2b16a60e9c70bdf02005bbd5c7408ec86bfc8b63dcb74820d416d8de2525ea ## 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: 2026-07-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 10:15:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-06 16:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-06 12:17:20 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f367d-0372-722c-b22f-bf03da3e1168/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/appcorestake.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.appcorestake.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=appcorestake.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/appcorestake.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/appcorestake.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 10:55:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, appcorestake.com, is flagged as a high-risk crypto drainer targeting cryptocurrency wallets. Analysis indicates it impersonates Belqora Security Inc., a purported AI cybersecurity platform, to deceive users into interacting with malicious smart contracts or wallet-draining scripts. The domain employs social engineering tactics, presenting itself as a legitimate security service to exploit trust in cybersecurity branding. No specific drainer kit has been attributed at this stage, but the infrastructure aligns with known crypto-draining campaigns observed in recent months. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on July 05, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is associated with Cloudflare services, and utilizes HTTP/3 for communication. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a common practice among malicious domains to evade basic security checks. VirusTotal detection shows 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, indicating limited but present awareness within the security community. No entries were found in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) at the time of analysis, and no additional blocklist data is available. The domain remains active, posing a continued threat to users who may interact with it under the guise of a legitimate cybersecurity service. Response actions should include immediate blacklisting of the domain and IP address in enterprise security controls, as well as monitoring for related infrastructure (e.g., subdomains, associated IPs). Users are advised to verify domain registration dates and SSL certificate issuers before engaging with unfamiliar platforms, particularly those soliciting wallet connections or sensitive information. The remaining risk is classified as high due to the domain's active status, low detection rate, and the irreversible nature of cryptocurrency transactions once drained. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 72fdc3c0978215f2112f719f85a9b9df TLS cert SHA-256: 1c2b16a60e9c70bdf02005bbd5c7408ec86bfc8b63dcb74820d416d8de2525ea ## 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/appcorestake.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=appcorestake.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.
