No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 16:53:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 12:39:58 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4237-3924-714c-ba1b-c26ae38bcfc3/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/611ec79c-0e0b-4128-8d09-374a794dbb2a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/contactdesktop.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.contactdesktop.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=contactdesktop.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/contactdesktop.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/contactdesktop.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 16:55:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, contactdesktop.com, is currently under investigation for hosting a credential harvesting portal disguised as a remote desktop support interface. Analysis indicates the site presents a login page with the title 'Desk,' a generic identifier commonly used by legitimate remote access tools. The domain does not currently impersonate a specific brand but employs a deceptive design pattern to trick users into submitting corporate or personal credentials. No malware distribution has been confirmed at this stage, though the infrastructure aligns with known phishing campaigns targeting enterprise environments. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 07, 2026, through Dominet (HK) Limited, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.197.20, which is part of a content delivery network known for masking malicious infrastructure. As of the latest scan, the domain has not been flagged by any of the 95 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating either a new or highly evasive campaign. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy to potential victims. No blocklist entries or historical abuse reports were identified during the initial assessment. The domain remains active and unblocked across major security platforms. Organizations are advised to treat this domain as hostile and implement immediate network-level blocking for 172.67.197.20 and contactdesktop.com. Endpoint protection rules should be updated to flag any processes attempting to connect to this domain or its associated IP. Given the lack of detections on VirusTotal, manual verification of logs for connections to this domain is recommended, particularly for systems exhibiting unusual authentication attempts or remote access tool usage. Further monitoring is required to determine if this domain expands into malware distribution or lateral movement activity. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 926ff025f39da48c714ac830f0d7c202 TLS cert SHA-256: 4663f5be4940678c048ae84e9a07603861eea16480d6c4551a1b65c55fcf3871 ## 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/contactdesktop.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=contactdesktop.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.
