Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is backend.notexistsnews.non-steam.com a phishing site? backend.notexistsnews.non-steam.com was registered on August 23, 2019 through Danesco Trading Ltd. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 81.91.178.184 and is served by Cloudflare nameservers ian.ns.cloudflare.com and rita.ns.cloudflare.com. VirusTotal scans have identified the domain as malicious in eight of ninety‑five antivirus or URL‑reputation engines, indicating a moderate level of detection across the community. The domain appears on a single public blocklist and is specifically listed by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that at least one anti‑phishing provider has taken active mitigation steps. The current operational status is reported as active, meaning the domain continues to resolve and can be contacted by clients. Evidence points to a generic phishing campaign, although the exact target brand or credential‑stealing template has not been disclosed in the available data. The lack of additional public intelligence such as Safe Browsing entries, OTX tags, or SSL certificate details leaves the full scope of the campaign uncertain. Defenders should treat any traffic to or from 81.91.178.184 as potentially hazardous, enforce outbound URL filtering to block the domain, and consider adding the domain to internal blocklists. Network monitoring should include DNS query logs for the domain and any sub‑domains, and intrusion‑detection signatures that reference the observed IP address or the Cloudflare name server pair may provide early warning. Because the registrar is a known corporate entity, domain‑takeover attempts are unlikely, but the continued activity suggests the infrastructure is still under attacker control. Ongoing vigilance is advised, and periodic re‑scans with VirusTotal or similar services are recommended to capture any changes in detection scores. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260721-EE9B94 Favicon MD5: 231913fdebabcbe65f4b0052372bde56 TLS cert SHA-256: 30ea19822c46b7d74a94422f8d771e63eb5ab307a9ae1095a7b5d6e0de005c10 ## 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/backend.notexistsnews.non-steam.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=backend.notexistsnews.non-steam.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.
