# PhishDestroy threat dossier — cloudraven.icu ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 18:07:47 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/cloudraven.icu/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Aave ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, PrecisionSec URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.181.196 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: novalee.ns.cloudflare.com, rajeev.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-28 Expires: 2027-06-28 Page title: Dogpile - Search Engine ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-26 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 1bc764f82db7ffa2c7fcbb51c78ca19a4d767339a8729c958e9cc8b9b40ece2c ## 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: 2026-06-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 06:07:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 04:14:47 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 16:30:14 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1bda-7654-7799-a313-7277e1b7d7da/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8237c620-c5a3-462b-ba54-aebb8d19680a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cloudraven.icu crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cloudraven.icu Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cloudraven.icu AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cloudraven.icu URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cloudraven.icu/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 07:26:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, cloudraven.icu, is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting Aave, a decentralized finance protocol. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to deceive users by presenting a fabricated search engine interface (Dogpile - Search Engine), likely as a front for credential harvesting or malware distribution. No specific drainer kit has been identified in this instance, but the impersonation of a financial platform suggests intent to exploit user trust for fraudulent transactions or data theft. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 28, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.181.196 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy. VirusTotal detection shows 4 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious. The domain appears in one threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, further corroborating its suspicious nature. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status is not explicitly listed, but the presence on blocklists and low vendor detection suggests it may evade some automated protections. As of the latest assessment, cloudraven.icu remains active and poses a significant risk to users unfamiliar with Aave’s legitimate domains. Recommended response actions include blocking the domain at the network level, adding it to endpoint protection rules, and alerting users to the impersonation threat. Despite partial vendor detection, the domain’s active status and use of a reputable SSL issuer underscore the need for continued monitoring and proactive mitigation to prevent potential financial or data loss. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-5F7480 Favicon MD5: c4bd8f25f4c10a680683142ea0f4802c TLS cert SHA-256: 1bc764f82db7ffa2c7fcbb51c78ca19a4d767339a8729c958e9cc8b9b40ece2c ## 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/cloudraven.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cloudraven.icu 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.
