Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, askvenice-event.com, is flagged as an active high-risk phishing site targeting users of the Venice AI platform, as indicated by its page title 'Venice | Private AI for Unlimited Creative Freedom.' Registered on July 11, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, the domain resolves to IP address 104.21.81.66. Analysis of infrastructure reveals it is hosted on a content delivery network, a common tactic to obscure origin and evade takedowns. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which does not inherently confirm legitimacy but may lend a false sense of security to visitors. One of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal has detected malicious activity associated with this domain, though the specific nature of the threat remains unconfirmed. The domain's recent creation and immediate use for phishing purposes align with typical attacker behavior, where newly registered domains are weaponized before reputation-based defenses can react. Defenders should treat this domain as compromised and prioritize blocking or monitoring traffic to 104.21.81.66. Further investigation into the site's content is required to determine the exact phishing mechanics, such as credential harvesting or malware distribution, though no visual or functional analysis has been conducted at this time. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d8bc78f05d6b1da99996ae7fb6c9a8aa TLS cert SHA-256: 852c611ed04ffdbd4666af352b8b0fcdb27157af888c743d7477e1299feb83d0 ## 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/askvenice-event.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=askvenice-event.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.
