# PhishDestroy threat dossier — chenovacapitallimited.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 18:00:11 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/chenovacapitallimited.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 76/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Fortinet, Netcraft, Sophos ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.138.39.10 Registrar: Atak Domain Nameservers: dns1.afeeshost.ltd, dns2.afeeshost.ltd, dns3.afeeshost.com Registered: 2025-08-01 Page title: Chenova Capital Limited | CFD Trading — Trading on Stocks, Gold, Oil, Indices ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-03 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 495fa54c688442e99e08e75f228db9f6c13b9a2aaea4a69589c0118ee28ddcb4 ## 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: 2025-08-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-22 17:45:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-22 14:47:38 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-22 20:25:17 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 19:25:02 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019db5a5-bb93-754a-ad98-a080d4668c07/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/05a210a2-d710-4e28-9158-b83697e16e72 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/chenovacapitallimited.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.chenovacapitallimited.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=chenovacapitallimited.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/chenovacapitallimited.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/chenovacapitallimited.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-22 17:46:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies chenovacapitallimited.com as a HIGH-RISK crypto scam impersonating the legitimate CFD trading brand Chenova Capital Limited. This domain masquerades as a financial trading platform to deceive users into depositing funds, which are then drained through fraudulent CFD trades or outright theft. The threat is classified as a generic phishing operation specifically designed to harvest cryptocurrency investments under false pretenses. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy after analysis revealed multiple red flags: it was registered through Atak Domain on August 1, 2025, just days before going live. The domain resolves to IP address 188.138.39.10 and has already been detected by 6 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors as malicious. Despite using a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, the domain remains untrusted and has not been recognized by any major financial authority or trading registry. The discrepancy between the domain creation date and its sudden operational status suggests a hastily deployed campaign with minimal infrastructure stability. To mitigate risk, users must avoid interacting with chenovacapitallimited.com entirely. Never enter personal or financial information, nor deposit any funds into accounts linked to this domain. If you have already engaged with this site, immediately cease all transactions, revoke any wallet permissions granted, and report the incident to your cryptocurrency exchange or wallet provider. Always verify financial platforms by cross-checking official registration details with trusted regulatory bodies such as the FCA, SEC, or CySEC. Use PhishDestroy’s real-time verification tools to confirm the legitimacy of financial services before engaging. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260422-78B6F0 Favicon MD5: 4f6d55808694ea34b8e97c9821f5d3b4 TLS cert SHA-256: 495fa54c688442e99e08e75f228db9f6c13b9a2aaea4a69589c0118ee28ddcb4 ## 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/chenovacapitallimited.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=chenovacapitallimited.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
