# PhishDestroy threat dossier — brynnects.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 18:33:33 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/brynnects.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 12/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, Sophos, Webroot URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2025-10-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 04:09:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 02:41:14 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b6e-fed6-7019-9a4c-ae61e1bd93ec/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/89ee8baa-db71-454d-a3af-9281959909e7 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/brynnects.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.brynnects.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=brynnects.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/brynnects.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/brynnects.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 04:25:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, brynnects.cc, operates as a credential-harvesting phishing portal designed to mimic legitimate financial or corporate login pages. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is engineered to capture usernames, passwords, and potentially multi-factor authentication tokens, redirecting victims to attacker-controlled endpoints after submission. The domain exhibits characteristics consistent with large-scale phishing campaigns targeting both individual and enterprise users, with a particular focus on financial services impersonation. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-confidence indicators of malicious activity. The domain was registered on October 11, 2025, through NameSilo, LLC, a registrar frequently associated with phishing operations. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to create a false sense of legitimacy. Security vendors on VirusTotal flag the domain at a rate of 12/95, while Gridinsoft assigns it a trust score of 0/100. The domain appears on one security blocklist and has been documented in a single AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, further corroborating its malicious classification. Users who have visited brynnects.cc or entered credentials on any page associated with this domain should take immediate remediation steps. First, terminate all active sessions on the affected device and disconnect it from networks to prevent lateral movement. Reset passwords for all accounts accessed from the compromised device, prioritizing financial, email, and identity management services. Enable multi-factor authentication using app-based or hardware tokens, avoiding SMS-based methods. Monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions or configuration changes, and consider reporting the incident to relevant financial institutions or cybersecurity response teams. The domain remains active as of this advisory, and users should block it at the network level to prevent further exposure. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 12/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-54B0AE Favicon MD5: 19c60b553adeb617f4e03ffd3f73be2b TLS cert SHA-256: 83b22c0de55fbf0bfcdbec0cdab8940f83f1e50178bfc0f7bfc0bddd34ad9e9c ## 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/brynnects.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=brynnects.cc 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.
