Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] bubacrossword.com Generic Phishing Alert This report analyzes the domain bubacrossword.com, which was registered on June 16, 2026 through Spaceship, Inc. and is currently hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure, resolving to the IPv4 address 172.67.172.117. The authoritative name servers are james.ns.cloudflare.com and magdalena.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating use of Cloudflare’s DNS service. The domain is listed on one external security blocklist and has been flagged by the PhishDestroy blocklist, confirming that it is recognized as malicious by at least one industry‑wide feed. VirusTotal records show that the domain was scanned by 95 AV engines, none of which returned a detection at the time of analysis; the lack of a detection does not constitute a safety guarantee. No public page title or content has been disclosed in the available intelligence, and no Safe Browsing, OTX, or additional reputation scores are presently reported, leaving the visual or functional characteristics of the site unverified. Infrastructure analysis indicates that the IP address 172.67.172.117 belongs to Cloudflare’s global edge network, a common hosting choice for both legitimate services and threat actors seeking anonymity and rapid content delivery. The use of Cloudflare’s default nameservers further obscures the true origin of the payload. Although the domain is still active, its short age—less than two months old as of the report date—aligns with typical patterns observed in newly‑created phishing infrastructure. Given the current evidence, defenders should treat bubacrossword.com as a high‑confidence malicious indicator. Recommended actions include adding the domain to outbound and inbound web filtering rules, monitoring DNS queries for the associated Cloudflare name servers, and correlating any internal traffic to the resolved IP address with user authentication attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260722-D9A691 Favicon MD5: 000bf649cc8f6bf27cfb04d1bcdcd3c7 TLS cert SHA-256: 4865bafec68baf7bf5351ee7030531d04763a22dd0537613c3fb85cdf8d30aca ## 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/bubacrossword.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bubacrossword.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.
