# PhishDestroy threat dossier — confirmation-id88166.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-14 21:52:01 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/confirmation-id88166.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 78/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 16/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 6 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 216.120.147.200 (US, Tampa) Hosting org: Bodis, LLC Registrar: Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc Nameservers: ["ns100.webnic.cc", "ns101.webnic.cc"] Registered: 2026-06-12 Expires: 2026-06-24 ## 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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-12 22:30:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-14 23:01:01 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 08:57:37 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 23:08:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, confirmation-id88166.com, operates as a fake account verification phishing site designed to harvest user credentials through deceptive login portals. Analysis indicates the infrastructure mimics legitimate authentication pages, tricking victims into entering sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and multi-factor authentication codes. The threat actor likely employs social engineering tactics, including urgent prompts or spoofed notifications, to coerce users into interacting with the malicious domain. Given the elevated risk level, this site poses a significant danger to individuals and organizations, particularly those in sectors where account compromise could lead to financial loss or data breaches. Infrastructure analysis reveals concrete evidence of malicious intent. The domain was registered on June 24, 2025, through Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. VirusTotal detections confirm the domain is flagged by 16 out of 95 security vendors, while it appears on two independent security blocklists. Additionally, AlienVault OTX records the domain in six threat intelligence pulses, further corroborating its malicious classification. The domain has since been taken offline, but residual risk remains for users who may have interacted with it prior to its deactivation. Users who visited confirmation-id88166.com or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action to mitigate potential compromise. First, reset passwords for any accounts accessed through the domain, prioritizing those with financial or administrative privileges. Enable multi-factor authentication if not already active, and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity, such as logins from unfamiliar locations or devices. If sensitive data was exposed, consider reporting the incident to relevant authorities or organizational security teams. To prevent future incidents, verify domain authenticity before entering credentials and rely on bookmarked or official links for critical services. ## 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 (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/confirmation-id88166.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=confirmation-id88166.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.
