# PhishDestroy threat dossier — checker-xdc.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-30 20:57:34 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/checker-xdc.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 93/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: adam.ns.cloudflare.com, danica.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-16 Expires: 2027-07-16 Page title: Just a moment...

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: 2026-07-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-20 17:58:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-30 20:20:30 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-28 12:47:28 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f803e-40e4-760e-8667-4a32b0e5c275/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/checker-xdc.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.checker-xdc.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=checker-xdc.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/checker-xdc.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/checker-xdc.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-20 18:01:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] checker-xdc.com Safety Check — Phishing Detected This domain, checker-xdc.com, was registered on July 16 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently resolving to the IP address 188.114.97.3. The authoritative name servers are adam.ns.cloudflare.com and danica.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating the use of Cloudflare's DNS service. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy sink‑hole, which suggests that it is being used for phishing campaigns. VirusTotal has processed the host with 91 anti‑malware engines; none of the engines flagged the domain, but the absence of detections does not constitute evidence of benign behavior. The domain’s risk status is listed as “under investigation” and its operational status is marked “active,” implying that malicious infrastructure may still be in use. Available intelligence does not include Safe Browsing, Open Threat Exchange, SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page title information, so the visual or functional characteristics of the landing page remain unverified. Consequently, the precise phishing lure, target brand, or credential‑harvesting technique cannot be confirmed at this time. Defenders should continue to monitor DNS queries for the domain and its associated IP, enforce blocklist rules that already list checker‑xdc.com, and consider adding the domain to internal deny lists. Network traffic to the Cloudflare name servers should be logged, and any authentication attempts directed at the domain should be investigated for credential theft. Ongoing collection of payload samples and page content is recommended to enrich the profile and to enable correlation with emerging phishing kits. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 94de8ae397edf4dcae70fa0f78b66dc2892cb685ab617bc483c29538e7dde5a2 ## 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/checker-xdc.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=checker-xdc.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.
