# PhishDestroy threat dossier — covesting-cc.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-29 03:37:21 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/covesting-cc.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 3 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 206.119.189.9 (US, Los Angeles) ASN: AS133199 SonderCloud Limited Hosting org: Solustack Limited Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-17 17:52:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 04:27:27 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f70c6-9118-72dd-b77e-07521e142cfb/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/covesting-cc.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.covesting-cc.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=covesting-cc.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/covesting-cc.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/covesting-cc.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-17 18:01:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] covesting-cc.cc — Phishing Investigation Report Analysis of the domain covesting-cc.cc shows a recently registered infrastructure that is actively used for phishing. The domain was created on July 01, 2026 and is hosted under a Let's Encrypt certificate (YR2) that was issued to the same name, indicating a valid TLS endpoint. DNS resolution points to the single IPv4 address 206.119.189.9, and the domain is served by three authoritative name servers (ns1.dnsowl.com, ns2.dnsowl.com, ns3.dnsowl.com) listed under the NameSilo, LLC registrar. VirusTotal has recorded detections from 2 of 91 security vendors, suggesting that at least a small subset of scanners have identified malicious activity associated with the host. The domain also appears in one AlienVault OTX pulse, reinforcing its presence in threat‑intel feeds. The classification provided is generic_phishing with a high risk rating, and the domain remains active as of the report date. No additional content analysis (page title, brand targeting, or phishing kit details) is available, leaving the exact payload or luring technique undefined. Defenders should prioritize blocking DNS resolution and HTTP/HTTPS traffic to 206.119.189.9 and to covesting-cc.cc, incorporate the domain and its IP into intrusion detection signatures, and monitor for any new indicators that may emerge from subsequent sandbox or sandbox‑type analyses. Continuous threat‑intel correlation is advised to capture any future expansions of the campaign. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 73e42fa7b579263fbdab7b3e20248ad9 TLS cert SHA-256: 2b86917980e7716407bf4918171d50d88b1a0a42af2e8a1160f889872c92ff63 ## 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/covesting-cc.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=covesting-cc.cc 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.
