# PhishDestroy threat dossier — aztc.network ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-24 18:39:27 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aztc.network/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 70/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Google Phishing Targeted brand: facebook (and: gmail, google, whatsapp) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 142.251.153.119 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS15169 GOOGLE - Google LLC, US Hosting org: AS13335 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: dave.ns.cloudflare.com, robin.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-02-11 Page title: Google HTTP response: 530 ## 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: 2026-02-21 (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) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-15 02:43:19 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-24 18:49:33 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-13 06:00:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c5f2c-b5d0-769f-8103-6a667ecb4dad/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b0aca18b-c031-4bf9-bbd1-2fa75ca7ddfa Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aztc.network crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aztc.network Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aztc.network AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aztc.network URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aztc.network/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 16:06:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies aztc.network as a medium-risk generic phishing domain designed to deceive users and harvest sensitive information. Though the domain is currently offline, its prior activity posed a significant security threat by potentially tricking users into providing personal or financial details. Awareness remains critical as similar phishing campaigns often resurface or migrate to new domains. The domain aztc.network was registered recently on February 21, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolved to the IP address 104.21.74.17. It has appeared on two separate security blocklists and was flagged by three security vendors on VirusTotal. This indicates the domain's involvement in suspicious activities consistent with phishing attempts. The domain is no longer active, which suggests that mitigation efforts by security teams have been effective in taking it offline. Users are strongly advised to remain vigilant by avoiding unsolicited or unexpected links referencing aztc.network or similar suspicious domains. Never enter personal or financial information on unverified websites, and ensure your security software is up to date. Reporting any phishing attempts to your IT department or a trusted security platform like PhishDestroy helps protect the community from emerging threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260215-48E059 Favicon MD5: e8972ce34a4545b33c3926a20c306b71 ## 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/aztc.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aztc.network 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.
