No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-10 20:02:15 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-10 17:03:17 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-15 22:15:48 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners 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/019e12d5-0e27-76ea-8569-47683b7c6e9f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/fe76f66d-dcdf-4162-bad7-8b4a40442f49 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/client-assistpalportal.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.client-assistpalportal.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=client-assistpalportal.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/client-assistpalportal.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/client-assistpalportal.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-10 20:02:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies client-assistpalportal.com as an active generic phishing domain with an elevated risk profile. This site impersonates a legitimate client support portal to deceive users into revealing sensitive information such as login credentials or financial data. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with a risk level of elevated and a threat type classified as generic_phishing. Threat intelligence confirms that client-assistpalportal.com resolves to IP address 180.178.160.215 and operates with a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. The domain was created on May 07, 2026, which is an unusually recent registration date suggesting opportunistic malicious activity. According to VirusTotal, 1 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain as malicious. It is registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu, which is a common registrar but offers no indication of legitimacy in this context. The low detection rate on VirusTotal—despite clear malicious intent—highlights the need for heightened user vigilance and proactive blocking strategies. There are no recorded entries on major blocklists at this time, though the domain’s recent creation and low reputation score warrant immediate caution. The generic phishing threat posed by client-assistpalportal.com involves the impersonation of a client support or portal service to trick users into entering their credentials or personal information. Victims may be redirected from fake email notifications, online ads, or compromised websites to this domain, where fraudulent login forms or surveys are presented. The use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate is a common tactic to appear legitimate and evade browser security warnings. Given the domain’s recent registration and low detection rate (1/95), it is likely part of a rapidly evolving campaign targeting unsuspecting users. To mitigate risk, users should avoid accessing this domain entirely. System administrators are advised to block the IP address 180.178.160.215 and the domain at the network level. Additionally, enterprises should update endpoint protection rules to detect and quarantine any related payloads or communications. It is also recommended to monitor outbound traffic for connections to this indicator of compromise and to educate users about recognizing social engineering tactics associated with tech support scams. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260510-683538 Favicon MD5: 6b0c3a937095705c09335887d2269e9d TLS cert SHA-256: 9fd2d0bdb03ed97695e5ab09d70c7711ee3efa83997e0429cb635bf8373599fd ## 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/client-assistpalportal.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=client-assistpalportal.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.
