# PhishDestroy threat dossier — chain-networking.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-25 12:24:21 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/chain-networking.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 84/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Banking Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 13/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, CyRadar, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Netcraft, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.251.88.188 (US, Cheyenne) ASN: ASAS53667 FranTech Solutions Hosting org: AS53667 FranTech Solutions Registrar: Dynadot LLC Nameservers: ["ns7.asurahosting.com", "ns8.asurahosting.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-02-05 Page title: Problem loading page ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-05-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 707325bb6aaa44116a2850a8d984b4dfbcaa264ef08fd094d00a69a7635640ce Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.web3.chain-networking.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: 2026-02-21 (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: 2026-02-15 14:02:49 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-25 12:20:42 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-13 06:00:52 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/019c6199-dc4e-73c0-aed5-4fc39f10aabf/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d3c42abe-cbc3-411f-96b4-285a6123c719 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/chain-networking.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.chain-networking.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=chain-networking.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/chain-networking.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/chain-networking.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 15:17:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain chain-networking.org displayed a "Problem loading page" title, indicating it was likely a banking phishing site designed to impersonate legitimate financial services and steal user credentials. It posed a direct threat to banking customers by attempting to capture sensitive login information. Technical analysis shows the site was flagged by 13 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, with detections from ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, CyRadar, and Emsisoft. It appeared on 3 blocklists. The domain was registered with Dynadot LLC on 2026-02-21, hosted at IP 198.251.88.188 in the US under AS53667 FranTech Solutions. It used a Let's Encrypt R12 SSL certificate, with nameservers ns7.asurahosting.com and ns8.asurahosting.com. The site is currently down or offline. GridinSoft trust rating is 0 out of 100. Risk level is high due to confirmed phishing activity and low trust score. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260215-E6D649 Favicon SHA-256: 290a22f5110cf6a1dee6b1240f6e080171552b2bc908b067df75045d753e0929 TLS cert SHA-256: 707325bb6aaa44116a2850a8d984b4dfbcaa264ef08fd094d00a69a7635640ce ## 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/chain-networking.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=chain-networking.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.
