Registrar: Ultahost, Inc Nameservers: ["ns1.ultahost.com", "ns2.ultahost.com", "ns3.ultahost.com", "ns4.ultahost.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2026-10-12 Page title: Ciphertrace Report ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-05-11 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 215a001cc92eb233b731b54a7d4dcc8681fb9502b8b7c06493a6b7bab3e69a1f Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.ciphertrace.report ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-23 15:42:03 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:15:37 UTC (STALE — 23 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-16 00:04:32 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 23 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 23 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019beadf-d97e-76aa-84c7-5422473e60d3/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ciphertrace.report crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ciphertrace.report Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ciphertrace.report AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ciphertrace.report URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ciphertrace.report/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:03:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified ciphertrace.report as a high-risk generic phishing domain. Registered on February 21, 2026, this domain was designed to deceive users by mimicking legitimate services under the guise of a "Ciphertrace Report" page. The domain's classification as phishing was confirmed through multiple intelligence sources, highlighting its intent to harvest sensitive information. Technical analysis reveals that ciphertrace.report resolved to the IP address 109.176.207.40 and was registered via Ultahost, Inc. The domain was flagged by 10 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, appears on three security blocklists, and is associated with at least one threat pulse on AlienVault OTX. Despite a low trust score of 0/100 from Gridinsoft, these indicators collectively point to a malicious infrastructure designed for phishing activities. The domain is currently offline and no longer resolving, reflecting proactive takedown measures. Users are advised to remain vigilant against potential phishing attempts related to this domain or similar ones. Organizations should ensure their security systems block ciphertrace.report and monitor for any related threat intelligence to mitigate risks tied to this phishing operation. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 10/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 80793cd8e68e8837c5d4848f3e4cfb8b TLS cert SHA-256: 215a001cc92eb233b731b54a7d4dcc8681fb9502b8b7c06493a6b7bab3e69a1f ## 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/ciphertrace.report/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ciphertrace.report 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.
