control-gemini.com — Active Phishing Domain Targeting Cloud

Analysis of control-gemini.com indicates a high-risk phishing domain registered on July 20, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain remains active as of July 26, 2026, and is flagged by at least one security blocklist (PhishDestroy). Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 206.71.149.193 and utilizes Cloudflare nameservers (molly.ns.cloudflare.com, yadiel.ns.cloudflare.com), a common tactic to obscure hosting origins and evade takedowns.

VirusTotal detection data shows 3 of 91 security vendors flagging the domain, though the specific nature of the threat—such as targeted brand or phishing kit—remains unconfirmed due to lack of page content analysis. The domain's recent registration and use of Cloudflare suggest an attempt to establish short-lived infrastructure for credential harvesting or fraudulent cloud service impersonation.

Defenders should treat this domain as malicious, block resolution at the network level, and monitor for associated IP or nameserver reuse in new registrations. Further investigation into the resolved IP (206.71.149.193) may reveal additional linked phishing infrastructure or hosting patterns.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       18c41b2e67139cb7d78041b01e284de2
TLS cert SHA-256:      4c34b1d1aec1cc08cdb819e43e866b516d44fa4b3e91514935e92eaae296f71f

## 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.
