# PhishDestroy threat dossier — champrally.com.avkresearch.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-30 21:01:38 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/champrally.com.avkresearch.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 95/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Webroot URLQuery: -1 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.12.66.123 (US, Buffalo) ASN: ASAS36352 AS-COLOCROSSING, US Hosting org: AS36352 HostPapa Registrar: Entrust Domains, LLC Nameservers: ["ns1.afternic.com", "ns2.afternic.com", "verification-d3jclucsp89ganyqbydeny.ns101.verify.hn"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Home - ChampRally HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-26 23:19:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:19:23 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-30 20:21:18 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01989c53-7dee-7136-a497-ed8115ab900a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/champrally.com.avkresearch.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.champrally.com.avkresearch.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=champrally.com.avkresearch.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/champrally.com.avkresearch.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/champrally.com.avkresearch.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-12 19:00:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] champrally.com.avkresearch.com Safety Check — Phishing Detected The domain champrally.com.avkresearch.com has been identified as a high‑risk generic phishing vector. It was created on February 21, 2026 and remains active as of the report date, July 12, 2026. The site returns HTTP status code 200 and presents the page title "Home - ChampRally," indicating a functional front‑end that may be leveraged for credential harvesting. Current threat intelligence assigns a high risk rating based on multiple detection sources. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain is registered through Entrust Domains, LLC and resolves to the IPv4 address 198.12.66.123, which belongs to AS36352 operated by HostPapa in the United States. The authoritative name servers are ns1.afternic.com, ns2.afternic.com, and a verification‑prefixed server, suggesting reliance on third‑party DNS services. Notably, the site lacks an SSL/TLS certificate, exposing all traffic to potential interception. A Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100 further underscores the malicious nature of the host. Detection metrics show that the domain appears on a single security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal analysis reports that three of ninety‑five scanned security vendors flag the domain as malicious, providing additional corroboration of its phishing intent. The combination of a valid HTTP response, a recognizable page title, and inclusion on a reputable blocklist indicates that the domain is actively being used to lure victims. Defenders should prioritize immediate containment of this indicator. Network and endpoint controls ought to block DNS resolution and HTTP traffic to 198.12.66.123, and security appliances should be updated to include the domain in their phishing blocklists. Continuous monitoring for any changes in the domain's resolution or additional vendor detections is advised, as threat actors may attempt to pivot to alternative infrastructure. ## 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/champrally.com.avkresearch.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=champrally.com.avkresearch.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
