Registrar: NAMECHEAP INC Nameservers: amos.ns.cloudflare.com, melissa.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-27 Expires: 2027-04-27 Page title: clearForge | Web3 Security, Victim Support HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-26 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c76d3b2d52574ec39e274eef6086d120a11ac962f4c8e74d2e719ecfe38d9e53 ## 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: 2026-04-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-30 04:28:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-30 01:50:04 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-07 05:11:49 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:29:11 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e767d-ba69-74bc-b1fb-35c3afdf9cf1/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/14f405fd-8bb5-46f6-970d-ed91f7fbf62f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/clearforge.tech crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.clearforge.tech Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=clearforge.tech AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/clearforge.tech URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/clearforge.tech/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-07 05:11:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Threat Overview The domain clearforge.tech operates as a generic phishing/scam site. It is currently live and actively serving traffic. No specific brand is impersonated. Risk Indicators - 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged this domain as malicious - The domain is listed on 1 public blocklist - Google Safe Browsing has not flagged this domain - The threat score is 71/100, indicating a high risk level - The domain was created on 2026-04-27, suggesting it is relatively new Technical Details - Registrar: NAMECHEAP INC (IS) - Hosting IP: 104.21.86.158 - VirusTotal: 2 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain as malicious Recommendations - Block and report this domain immediately via your threat-intel platform - Monitor for any phishing attempts associated with this domain - Educate users about the risks of interacting with unknown or suspicious domains ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260530-6107D8 Favicon MD5: b78c11c283784a7a0eb39be2dcc2f1b8 TLS cert SHA-256: c76d3b2d52574ec39e274eef6086d120a11ac962f4c8e74d2e719ecfe38d9e53 ## 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/clearforge.tech/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=clearforge.tech 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.
