# PhishDestroy threat dossier — cbotnbxs.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 09:27:49 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/cbotnbxs.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 16/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, Trustwave, VIPRE, Webroot URLQuery: 100 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: ["huxley.ns.cloudflare.com", "ullis.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2026-11-02 HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 20101a1681f7e291cc0d38009c5c8c9053635ffc3ffb9bfb39111e0d4a60f8a1 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-10 21:15:14 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-27 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-24 00:12:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c4957-6054-7419-941e-8e90d1cc69e6/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b16145b9-77ff-4c0c-93f9-616f353f45a2 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cbotnbxs.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cbotnbxs.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cbotnbxs.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cbotnbxs.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cbotnbxs.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 01:29:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, cbotnbxs.cc, is flagged for social engineering, indicating a site designed to deceive users into performing actions or divulging information. The specific brand or scam type is not identified in the provided data. Technical evidence shows the domain is flagged by 16 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, including ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, and CyRadar. Google Safe Browsing marks it as flagged for SOCIAL_ENGINEERING. It is listed on 3 blocklists. The domain is hosted on IP 188.114.97.3, located in the United States under AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. It was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. on 2026-02-21. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, and nameservers are huxley.ns.cloudflare.com and ullis.ns.cloudflare.com. Its status is listed as BANNED. The current status is BANNED, indicating the domain is blocked or taken down. The risk level is high due to confirmed social engineering activity and multiple security vendor detections. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260210-3386AE Favicon MD5: 8b6a1c277b15e05f33bced1a05622bf2 TLS cert SHA-256: 20101a1681f7e291cc0d38009c5c8c9053635ffc3ffb9bfb39111e0d4a60f8a1 ## 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/cbotnbxs.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cbotnbxs.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.
