No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-30 17:43:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-30 14:45:50 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-01 12:01:50 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable 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/019dded6-21ef-7319-90d4-4e36d33107d4/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/467d6678-ed7b-46a8-b82b-9c39fd122037 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/clashformac.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.clashformac.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=clashformac.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/clashformac.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/clashformac.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-30 17:44:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies a newly registered domain, clashformac.net, as an active credential theft operation masquerading as a legitimate game download portal. The site is currently classified as under investigation with a status of active, indicating ongoing malicious activity. This assessment is based on the domain's recent creation date and absence of detection across security platforms, suggesting a low-profile, targeted campaign. This domain was flagged by SOC analysts with the following technical indicators: it resolves to IP address 5.78.72.146, was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. on May 19, 2025, and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. To date, the domain remains undetected on VirusTotal with a clean score of 0 detections out of 95 scan engines. The lack of presence on threat intelligence feeds and blocklists indicates this is a newly emerging threat with minimal exposure in security vendor databases. Organizations and end-users should immediately block access to clashformac.net at the network perimeter and DNS level. Given the domain's use of Cloudflare's infrastructure and legitimate SSL certificates, traditional reputation-based blocking may prove ineffective. Users who may have downloaded content from this domain should revoke any entered credentials and scan systems for potential malware. Security teams are advised to deploy behavioral analysis to detect unusual login patterns associated with this domain. Continuous monitoring of this IP address (5.78.72.146) and associated domains is recommended due to the evolving nature of this credential theft campaign. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260430-039DDC Favicon MD5: a1bbac8250026f51d15946b045f09a53 TLS cert SHA-256: 2ab8a71984e5d3645a2a9f69f00019915b30f2aed51d0d0b0ab69b91e04a4f2f ## 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/clashformac.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=clashformac.net 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.
