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: 2025-06-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-12 00:53:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-11 22:54:57 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 18:21:24 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb8e3-7256-74cf-b1ac-9111d42b6d8a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e578fc45-0d2f-4aa4-b086-9167b4e5c4ff Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/castro-cvv.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.castro-cvv.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=castro-cvv.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/castro-cvv.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/castro-cvv.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 23:33:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, castro-cvv.com, is confirmed to pose a specific threat as a fake login site designed to capture user credentials. The domain's infrastructure and technical indicators strongly suggest that it is part of a phishing campaign aimed at stealing sensitive information from unsuspecting users. Analysis indicates that castro-cvv.com has been flagged by 7 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a high level of suspicion among security experts. The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on June 11, 2025, a relatively recent date that aligns with the common practice of cybercriminals to use newly registered domains for their malicious activities. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist and has been found in 4 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, further confirming its association with phishing operations. The use of Cloudflare technologies, including Cloudflare Browser Insights and HTTP/3, may indicate an attempt to mask the true origin and nature of the site. Despite being taken offline, the site's IP address, 188.114.97.3, remains a point of concern. Users who have visited castro-cvv.com are advised to immediately change their passwords for any accounts they may have entered credentials into on this site. It is recommended to run a full system scan using reputable antivirus software to ensure no malware was installed. Additionally, users should monitor their financial and personal accounts for any unauthorized activity and consider enabling two-factor authentication for added security. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260611-A1B2E8 Favicon MD5: 519efa504b488a368b172a0149404991 TLS cert SHA-256: 9a42e715f8c3d826ccb46a0bb7af7c8cef50777256466c7487d30f669ec9d7eb ## 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/castro-cvv.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=castro-cvv.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
