# PhishDestroy threat dossier — connect-portal.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-05 07:02:27 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/connect-portal.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, Ermes, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.65.141 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 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: max.ns.cloudflare.com, samara.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-02 Expires: 2027-06-02 Page title: Webee 3 - Secure, Scalable, Decentralized Blockchain Infrastructure ## 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: 2026-06-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 21:20:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 19:43:27 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-05 08:46:57 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 03:04:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efb13-0c1a-76b4-b7d8-0f5724bd360a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8436e663-ceaf-4183-92f3-5909d8f3caf2 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/connect-portal.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.connect-portal.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=connect-portal.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/connect-portal.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/connect-portal.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 21:24:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain poses a credible risk as a fake login portal designed to deceive users into submitting credentials or sensitive information under false pretenses. Infrastructure analysis indicates the domain resolves to IP 172.67.163.230 and operates under Cloudflare nameservers, a common tactic to obscure hosting origins while maintaining operational uptime. The threat vector relies on social engineering, leveraging a plausible domain name to mimic legitimate service interfaces such as corporate portals, banking gateways, or internal authentication systems. Users entering credentials or personal data risk direct compromise of accounts and potential follow-on attacks, including session hijacking or credential stuffing against other platforms. Given the lack of detection despite active monitoring, the threat remains emergent and undetected by current defenses. Analysis indicates this domain was registered on June 02, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar with no immediate pattern of abuse but frequently associated with rapid domain cycling to evade detection. VirusTotal currently records zero detections (9/95 engines), suggesting that signature-based or behavioral detection mechanisms have not yet flagged the domain as malicious. The registration date is suspicious since brand-new domains are statistically more likely to be used in phishing campaigns within hours or days of creation, particularly when paired with generic or misleading naming conventions. The use of Cloudflare nameservers (max.ns.cloudflare.com and samara.ns.cloudflare.com) is consistent with threat actors seeking to obfuscate hosting infrastructure and maintain availability during takedown attempts. If you have visited connect-portal.live, immediately cease any interaction and avoid entering credentials or personal data. Disable browser autofill for this site and clear any cached credentials associated with it. Monitor all accounts that may have been accessed or could be tied to this domain, including email, banking, and corporate login portals. Report the domain to your organization’s security team or local cybercrime unit if applicable. Scan all devices used to access the domain with updated antivirus and anti-malware tools to detect potential compromise. Consider resetting passwords for critical accounts using a trusted device and network, avoiding the use of saved passwords or reused credentials. Be vigilant for follow-on phishing attempts, as compromised credentials are often leveraged in secondary attacks. This domain remains under investigation and should be treated as a high-risk indicator until further analysis confirms its disposition or exposure in threat intelligence feeds. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-96CF12 Favicon MD5: 5f69386161ed3f3fa5fff37e307c643b ## 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/connect-portal.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=connect-portal.live 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.
