# PhishDestroy threat dossier — coresage.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 12:57:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/coresage.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 50/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 163.61.188.5 (US, Staten Island) ASN: AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE Hosting org: MIT Registrar: TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown Nameservers: dns1.lytehosting.com, dns2.lytehosting.com, dns3.lytehosting.com, dns4.lytehosting.com Registered: 2026-06-20 Expires: 2027-06-20 Page title: CoreSage Network | Secure Login, Register & Earn on CORE Chain ## 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: 2026-06-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 08:49:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-29 06:52:09 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 14:46:45 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 08:50:04 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1223-5177-718a-b22d-ae3718334316/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8d5c27b3-f313-40ca-b9bb-4caa144ff5ba Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coresage.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coresage.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coresage.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coresage.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coresage.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 08:55:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, coresage.org, is identified as a credential theft phishing site designed to harvest sensitive login information from unsuspecting visitors. Credential theft phishing typically involves mimicking legitimate login pages to trick users into entering usernames, passwords, or other authentication details, which are then captured by threat actors for unauthorized access to accounts, financial fraud, or further exploitation. The site may have targeted specific organizations or services, though no direct brand impersonation has been confirmed at this stage. Analysis indicates that coresage.org was registered on June 20, 2026, through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, a registrar often associated with high-risk domains. The domain resolved to the IP address 163.61.188.5, which may have hosted additional malicious infrastructure. At the time of assessment, only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, suggesting either a low detection rate or a newly deployed threat. The domain has since been taken offline, reducing immediate risk but not eliminating the potential for future re-emergence under a different name or infrastructure. If you visited coresage.org or entered any credentials on the site, immediate action is required to mitigate potential damage. First, change passwords for any accounts accessed from the same device or network during the exposure period, prioritizing email, financial, and work-related accounts. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible to add an additional layer of security. Monitor accounts for unusual activity, such as unauthorized logins or transactions, and report any suspicious findings to the relevant service providers. Additionally, scan the device used to visit the site for malware or unauthorized software, as phishing pages may deploy secondary payloads to maintain persistence or exfiltrate further data. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260629-F28324 Favicon MD5: c2d9044965d8196c51ab80a82a43e1a9 ## 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/coresage.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coresage.org 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.
