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: 2026-07-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 19:53:44 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 00:02:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f42dc-9507-77bd-995a-5d8a01e2ba96/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/06adafc4-243b-4ee6-85b2-18be619a49c1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/com-layer.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.com-layer.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=com-layer.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/com-layer.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/com-layer.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 19:55:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain com-layer.com has been identified as an active generic phishing infrastructure targeting users of cloud storage services. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to impersonate login portals for file-sharing or synchronization platforms, though no specific brand has been conclusively linked at this stage. The domain remains operational and is currently under investigation for credential harvesting activities. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 08, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which is associated with a content delivery network. As of the latest assessment, the domain has not been flagged by any of the 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a low detection rate. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a veneer of legitimacy to potential victims. No blocklist entries or trust score deviations have been recorded at this time. Current status confirms the domain remains active and unmitigated. Organizations and end-users are advised to implement network-level blocking for the domain and its associated IP address. Security teams should monitor for any inbound or outbound connections to com-layer.com, particularly from endpoints accessing cloud storage services. Given the domain's recent registration and lack of detection, proactive threat hunting is recommended to identify any successful compromise attempts. If credential harvesting is confirmed, affected accounts should be immediately secured and monitored for unauthorized access.

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 (operator 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/com-layer.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=com-layer.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
