# PhishDestroy threat dossier — connect-smcfactory.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-19 06:06:20 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/connect-smcfactory.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Airdrop Scam Targeted brand: Airdrop Scam Phishing kit: Airdrop Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 12/95 security vendors flagged this domain URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: sierra.ns.cloudflare.com, tadeo.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-19 Expires: 2027-05-19 Page title: $SMCF — Airdrop HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 581cdf7813d3db2534adbfabf138b9e5c99e3a52d108d658e086333c7649e03c ## 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: 2026-05-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-19 05:14:49 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-19 03:16:51 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-19 07:46:30 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 06:19:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eddde-67fb-72e4-8dd9-d6b50e5274f2/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/687fae71-a935-4283-a085-56757a575c83 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/connect-smcfactory.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.connect-smcfactory.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=connect-smcfactory.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/connect-smcfactory.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/connect-smcfactory.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-19 05:54:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Threat Overview connect-smcfactory[.]xyz is an active domain posing a phishing threat. It has been flagged by multiple security vendors and blocklists, indicating a high risk to potential visitors. The domain's active status suggests it is currently operational. Risk Indicators - 12 of 95 VirusTotal vendors flag it as malicious - Listed on 2 public blocklists - Suspicious page title indicating potential brand impersonation - Recent creation and detection by PhishDestroy Technical Details - Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC - Hosting IP: 188.114.97.3 - Domain created: 2026-05-19 - Page Title: $SMCF — Airdrop Recommendations - Avoid interacting with connect-smcfactory[.]xyz - Be cautious of similar domains with suspicious titles - Keep antivirus software up to date to detect potential threats ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260619-4D2188 TLS cert SHA-256: 581cdf7813d3db2534adbfabf138b9e5c99e3a52d108d658e086333c7649e03c ## 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/connect-smcfactory.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=connect-smcfactory.xyz 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.
