# PhishDestroy threat dossier — citihnwi.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 20:44:10 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/citihnwi.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: BitDefender, G-Data, Kaspersky, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.91.26 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: duke.ns.cloudflare.com, kristin.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-12-29 Expires: 2026-12-29 Page title: AXENDRA ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ed71158ea38d2969baf24aee8fc2d69341d48edaa7ab35507c7c3679acea1e10 ## 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: 2025-12-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-25 18:53:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-25 16:56:31 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 00:03:05 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019effb2-bfdb-75ff-a951-e7afbf4ddac0/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/ed34087d-79cc-442d-9963-db99fb332db4 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/citihnwi.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.citihnwi.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=citihnwi.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/citihnwi.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/citihnwi.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 18:59:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, citihnwi.com, is flagged as an active credential theft site designed to mimic legitimate Citi Bank login portals. Victims who enter their banking credentials on this site risk immediate account compromise, unauthorized transactions, and potential identity theft. The site employs convincing visual elements, including Citi Bank branding and SSL encryption, to deceive users into believing it is authentic. Analysis indicates this is not a generic phishing attempt but a targeted effort to harvest financial login details for fraudulent access to victim accounts. Infrastructure analysis reveals several high-risk indicators. The domain was registered on December 29, 2025, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar frequently associated with malicious domains. It currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which has been linked to other phishing campaigns. Despite its recent creation, only 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag this domain as malicious, suggesting it may evade detection by some security tools. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, adding a layer of perceived legitimacy that further increases the risk to unsuspecting users. If you or someone you know has visited citihnwi.com or entered credentials on this site, immediate action is required. First, disconnect the affected device from the internet to prevent further data exfiltration. Next, contact Citi Bank directly using their official customer service channels to report the incident and request account monitoring or a temporary freeze. Change all passwords associated with the compromised account, and enable multi-factor authentication if not already active. Monitor bank statements and credit reports for unauthorized activity, and consider placing a fraud alert with credit bureaus. Finally, scan the device for malware using updated security tools, as credential theft sites often deploy additional payloads to maintain persistence on victim systems. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260625-E5585B Favicon MD5: acc9bf2f9e58e46707e41999142af60c TLS cert SHA-256: ed71158ea38d2969baf24aee8fc2d69341d48edaa7ab35507c7c3679acea1e10 ## 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/citihnwi.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=citihnwi.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.
