# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ch-angenow.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-03 11:58:41 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ch-angenow.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft, Webroot ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 176.125.242.151 (MD, Chisinau) ASN: AS200019 ALEXHOST SRL Hosting org: Alexhost SRL Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: ["ns1.dyna-ns.net", "ns2.dyna-ns.net"] Registered: 2026-04-26 Page title: ChangeNOW | Fastest Swap ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-06-23 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c163e34a70e395c78d5a1c0709d12d7c2b7095298528e1b4dc994802324493c1 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.ch-angenow.org ## 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: 2026-04-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-26 17:03:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-26 14:03:23 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-30 19:40:22 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-30 17:03:03 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/019dca17-fce2-71bc-9236-14d2df5e1562/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/dbeb2aa2-1d69-4b3a-a427-d87d50e59782 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ch-angenow.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ch-angenow.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ch-angenow.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ch-angenow.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ch-angenow.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-26 17:04:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ch-angenow.org as a suspected cryptocurrency swap scam masquerading as the legitimate ChangeNOW platform used to exchange digital assets. This fraudulent page specifically targets users seeking fast crypto swaps by mirroring the branding and language of the real ChangeNOW service, aiming to trick visitors into entering wallet credentials or sending funds to attacker-controlled addresses. The page title 'ChangeNOW | Fastest Swap' is used to enhance credibility and lure victims under the false impression they are using a trusted service. This domain was flagged for active phishing operations and remains unresolved despite 0 detections out of 95 VirusTotal scans. Registered through Dynadot Inc on March 25, 2026, the domain resolves to IP address 176.125.242.151 and holds a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. The combination of zero detection rate, recent creation date, and lack of prior blocklist presence indicates a newly launched, highly targeted campaign designed to evade initial scrutiny while exploiting brand confusion in the crypto space. Users who visited ch-angenow.org should immediately cease any interaction and avoid entering personal information, passwords, or cryptocurrency wallet details. If credentials were entered, change passwords on all related accounts and revoke any connected wallet permissions using official tools. Report the domain to your antivirus provider and consider notifying your crypto exchange or wallet platform of the attempted compromise. Block the domain at network level and scan connected devices for malware, as phishing pages often deploy credential-stealing scripts or downloaders during the engagement phase. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260426-9FDB80 Favicon MD5: abeaf830230a97ef3d9d9c9160cc5ce6 TLS cert SHA-256: c163e34a70e395c78d5a1c0709d12d7c2b7095298528e1b4dc994802324493c1 ## 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/ch-angenow.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ch-angenow.org 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.
