# PhishDestroy threat dossier — charmfay.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 13:40:08 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/charmfay.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 58/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Gridinsoft URLQuery: 3 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.17.247.119 (CN, Shanghai) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS147008 Shenzhen Dianjiang Technology Co Ltd Registrar: Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn) Nameservers: dns23.hichina.com, dns24.hichina.com Registered: 2023-02-27 Expires: 2027-02-27 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-24 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 247589666cbe520bd2871b0288ff4037ddb30f84a4b92426e1e641546c626b5a ## 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: 2023-02-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-03 04:30:57 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-03 02:34:30 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 12:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-03 12:17:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f25cf-9d91-72ed-ab57-57c7ce9fcd73/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/21561bc0-83ea-473f-be06-85713048efa5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/charmfay.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.charmfay.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=charmfay.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/charmfay.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/charmfay.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-03 04:36:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, charmfay.com, is identified as an active credential theft phishing infrastructure. Analysis indicates the site is designed to impersonate legitimate login portals, tricking users into submitting usernames, passwords, and other sensitive authentication details. No specific brand impersonation or crypto drainer kit has been conclusively linked to this domain at this time, though the generic credential harvesting framework aligns with common phishing toolkits observed in prior campaigns. The domain’s infrastructure and hosting patterns suggest a focus on broad-scale credential collection rather than targeted brand spoofing. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: charmfay.com is registered through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn), with a creation date of February 27, 2023. The domain currently resolves to the IP address 103.172.191.1 and employs a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which is frequently leveraged by threat actors to lend superficial legitimacy to phishing pages. On VirusTotal, the domain is flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors, indicating limited but confirmed detection. It appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by Hagezi, though no Google Safe Browsing (GSB) listing has been observed as of this report. The domain’s registration and hosting provider are consistent with patterns seen in other high-volume phishing operations. As of the latest assessment, charmfay.com remains active and continues to pose a high risk to users. The domain’s persistence, combined with its low detection rate on VirusTotal, suggests ongoing evasion efforts, likely through rapid infrastructure rotation or obfuscation techniques. Organizations and individuals are advised to implement network-level blocking for the domain and its associated IP address (103.172.191.1) to mitigate exposure. Users who may have interacted with this domain should immediately reset credentials for any accounts accessed via the site and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Given the domain’s age and continued activity, further monitoring is warranted to track potential shifts in its targeting or infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260703-58DDBD Favicon MD5: 2b6a752f634b7175236800ea74404d7c TLS cert SHA-256: 247589666cbe520bd2871b0288ff4037ddb30f84a4b92426e1e641546c626b5a ## 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/charmfay.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=charmfay.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.
