Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] cards-tw.icu — Generic Phishing Investigation Analysis of cards-tw.icu indicates that the domain was registered on June 03, 2026 through NameCheap, Inc. and is currently active, resolving to the IPv4 address 198.54.116.238. The authoritative name servers for the domain are dns1.namecheaphosting.com and dns2.namecheaphosting.com. VirusTotal scans show that three of ninety‑five security vendors have flagged the domain, suggesting malicious intent, though the majority of scanners have not yet generated a detection. The domain is listed on three public security blocklists and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL filtering services, reinforcing the assessment of a phishing threat. No public SSL certificate or HTTP response data were available at the time of analysis, so the presence of HTTPS or the specific server response code remains uncertain. Likewise, page‑level metadata such as title, brand targeting, or phishing kit identifiers have not been disclosed, limiting the ability to attribute the campaign to a specific lure or toolkit. Defenders should prioritize blocking traffic to 198.54.116.238 and add cards-tw.icu to local deny lists. Network monitoring should include DNS query logging for the domain's name servers to detect any internal resolution attempts. Continuous re‑scanning on VirusTotal and other multi‑engine platforms is recommended to capture any changes in detection status, and threat‑intel feeds should be updated to reflect the domain's inclusion on existing blocklists. Organizations using the PhishDestroy, MetaMask, or SEAL services should verify that the current blocks remain in place and consider supplemental filtering rules to mitigate potential credential harvesting attempts originating from this infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260721-A83B4D Favicon MD5: 4c45bf220b5c1689936fbf4694c66677 TLS cert SHA-256: a0f7365fc684b3690812f919b98166c000f10ae6923e0b0f3570b6b4af354a12 ## 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/cards-tw.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cards-tw.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
