# PhishDestroy threat dossier — browser-360.hl.cn ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 16:42:29 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/browser-360.hl.cn/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 38.6.164.66 (US, San Jose) ASN: AS394432 PEG TECH INC Hosting org: PEG-SG Registrar: 北京新网数码信息技术有限公司 Page title: 360安全浏览器 - 安全极速双核AI浏览器官方下载 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-08-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 21d16ec5f3ed35e25e0abe47677579bab9cbf81c04777b501abe6af6d2f915db Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.browser-360.hl.cn ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-10 18:35:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 16:44:01 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 18:19:11 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-14 00:46:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb267-a27a-71ef-a734-a81f311e8645/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/98576e13-330d-449e-b2d2-e60b8dd99adf Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/browser-360.hl.cn crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.browser-360.hl.cn Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=browser-360.hl.cn AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/browser-360.hl.cn URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/browser-360.hl.cn/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:14:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, browser-360.hl.cn, is flagged as a generic phishing site targeting users of the legitimate 360安全浏览器 (360 Secure Browser). The page title, '360安全浏览器 - 安全极速双核AI浏览器官方下载,' mimics the official branding to deceive visitors into downloading malicious software under the guise of a trusted browser update. No specific drainer kit signatures were identified, but the domain's infrastructure and content align with distribution campaigns for trojanized installers or adware bundles. Analysis indicates the domain resolves to IP address 38.6.164.66 and is registered through 北京新网数码信息技术有限公司. VirusTotal reports 6 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while it appears on three independent security blocklists. AlienVault OTX records the domain in two threat intelligence pulses, suggesting prior involvement in coordinated phishing or malware distribution operations. The site employs Tengine web server software alongside jQuery and enforces HSTS, which may be used to lend an appearance of legitimacy to the fraudulent page. Currently, browser-360.hl.cn is offline, likely following takedown actions or suspension by the registrar. However, residual risk persists due to the potential for infrastructure reuse or migration to newly registered domains. Organizations are advised to block the domain and associated IP at the perimeter, while users should verify browser downloads exclusively through official vendor channels. Monitoring for related domains registered under the same registrar or resolving to the same IP range is recommended to preemptively mitigate follow-up threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260610-96CDBC Favicon MD5: b2d14577cba38f06cbb4da31ca76b3be TLS cert SHA-256: 21d16ec5f3ed35e25e0abe47677579bab9cbf81c04777b501abe6af6d2f915db ## 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/browser-360.hl.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=browser-360.hl.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
