# PhishDestroy threat dossier — betciox.icu ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 11:20:06 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/betciox.icu/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 98/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.18.18 (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: eleanor.ns.cloudflare.com, rene.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-26 Expires: 2027-06-26 Page title: SRNHOST - Hosting Satış Sayfası ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-24 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 12714c352dd8c854bb51484dac88d0eac99132f696ad505f7d8c285999f16316 ## 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: 2026-06-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 13:08:44 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 11:16:17 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 12:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0de9-9fae-75f4-8224-ecaa7c706662/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/77661b10-c3fe-4bf0-aaa3-d9ed3c6ba97f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/betciox.icu crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.betciox.icu Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=betciox.icu AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/betciox.icu URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/betciox.icu/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 18:35:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk credential harvesting phishing site targeting users through deceptive login interfaces. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to mimic legitimate services, tricking victims into submitting sensitive authentication details, which are then exfiltrated to attacker-controlled infrastructure. The threat type is classified as generic_phishing with a focus on credential theft, a common precursor to account takeovers and secondary attacks such as financial fraud or lateral movement in compromised environments. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain betciox.icu resolves to the IP address 104.21.18.18, a shared hosting provider often exploited for malicious campaigns. VirusTotal reports 4 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, indicating early detection but limited widespread coverage. The domain was registered on June 26, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with abusive registrations. The Gridinsoft trust score for this domain is 0 out of 100, further confirming its malicious nature. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while providing encryption, does not validate the legitimacy of the site’s content or intent. The domain remains active as of this report, posing an ongoing threat to users. Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediate blocking of the domain betciox.icu and its resolving IP 104.21.18.18 at the network perimeter. Security teams should deploy indicators of compromise (IOCs) into endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems, web proxies, and email security gateways to prevent access or redirection. User awareness training should emphasize the risks of entering credentials on unfamiliar sites, particularly those with recent registration dates or low trust scores. Additionally, organizations should monitor for authentication attempts from internal assets to this domain or IP, as this may indicate successful phishing attempts. If credentials were exposed, immediate password resets and multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforcement are recommended to mitigate the risk of account compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-E1E348 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 12714c352dd8c854bb51484dac88d0eac99132f696ad505f7d8c285999f16316 ## 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/betciox.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=betciox.icu 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.
