Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain chrome-update-service.com is currently an active threat posing a credential phishing risk. This domain is suspected of attempting to deceive users into submitting login credentials, potentially impersonating Google Chrome update services or related branding to gain trust. The status of this investigation remains under review as additional evidence is being gathered. According to detailed intelligence, chrome-update-service.com was created on May 15, 2025, and registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC. The domain resolves to the IP address 15.197.225.128 and holds an SSL certificate issued by GoDaddy.com, Inc. Despite these legitimate registrations, the domain has not yet been flagged by any of the 95 VirusTotal antivirus vendors, showing zero detections. At this time, no blocklist counts or trust score data are available, leaving the domain's risk profile still under investigation. Currently, chrome-update-service.com remains active and unblocked by major security tools, posing a potential threat to end users. It is strongly recommended that users avoid interacting with this site or providing any personal or credential information. Security teams should monitor the domain for updates and consider proactive blocking or alerts to prevent possible credential theft. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 2f1ee844e0d71ac221d0bcfd2dccb854 TLS cert SHA-256: b96054c5830a3cdba6920de8ae348aa21854626f894ca6ca2e83c336d17ea3fe ## 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/chrome-update-service.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=chrome-update-service.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.
