Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis of cheddars.today shows that the domain was registered on July 10 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently active. The authoritative nameservers are garrett.ns.cloudflare.com and raphaela.ns.cloudflare.com, pointing to Cloudflare infrastructure. DNS resolution returns the IP address 188.114.96.3, which hosts an HTTPS service presenting a Google Trust Services / WE1 certificate and responding with HTTP status 200. The page title returned by the server is "Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen | Home", indicating a generic content page but not confirming any legitimate brand affiliation. VirusTotal scans have flagged the domain by 3 of 91 security vendors, suggesting potential malicious use. The combination of a newly created domain, Cloudflare DNS, a valid TLS certificate, and a modest detection rate aligns with typical patterns of generic phishing infrastructure. No additional content, login forms, or payload details have been observed, so the precise phishing vector remains unknown. Defenders should block or monitor traffic to cheddars.today, enforce outbound filtering for connections to its IP address, and consider adding the domain to threat intelligence feeds. Ongoing observation of any changes to the site content or additional detections is recommended. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260714-93CDA0 Favicon MD5: 508fa52f0d06e370aa5630c4d1549dce TLS cert SHA-256: b8d3cd4e4fbed725c1a915eace85f6e1b001bbedfa8034b38fe7ab3472cc5f1c ## 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/cheddars.today/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cheddars.today 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.
