Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] appx-todesk.com.cn Safety Check — Phishing Site Detected The domain appx-todesk.com.cn is currently listed as active and associated with a generic phishing campaign. The site presents a TLS certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (identifier YE2), indicating the use of a free, automated certificate service. The certificate is valid for the domain and terminates over HTTP/3, a protocol supported by the underlying hosting provider. Network resolution points to the IP address 104.21.68.189, which is owned by Cloudflare, Inc. and geolocated to Canada. The domain’s authoritative nameservers are mallory.ns.cloudflare.com and max.ns.cloudflare.com, both belonging to Cloudflare’s DNS infrastructure. The web front‑end is built with Bootstrap and loads external assets from jsDelivr, while Cloudflare Browser Insights scripts are present, suggesting traffic analytics collection. Threat intelligence sources corroborate the malicious classification. AlienVault OTX includes the domain in two separate pulses, and the domain appears on one public blocklist. PhishDestroy has actively blocked the domain, reinforcing its status as a phishing vector. VirusTotal scans have flagged the domain by 2 of 95 security vendors, providing modest but tangible detection consensus. Defenders should treat appx-todesk.com.cn as hostile. Immediate actions include adding the domain and its resolving IP 104.21.68.189 to deny‑list rules across perimeter firewalls, web proxies, and endpoint protection systems. Monitoring for DNS queries to the associated Cloudflare nameservers can help identify compromised clients. Given the recent registration date of April 28 2026, the infrastructure is likely newly provisioned, and future campaigns may reuse the same hosting configuration, so rule sets should be broadened to encompass similar Cloudflare‑hosted domains that serve content via Bootstrap and jsDelIv. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-28159B Favicon MD5: 55e01a3fb908f4174f6eb8ad54ffe3cc TLS cert SHA-256: 69124cfa9b31af00e890473d375657c9b453dc69abde9d80c9903c19dfc1a869 ## 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/appx-todesk.com.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=appx-todesk.com.cn 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.
