No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2024-12-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-28 23:30:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 06:46:10 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-31 16:20:48 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-12 17:59:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is crediteasefinance.com.ng a Phishing Site? crediteasefinance.com.ng is currently listed as a high‑risk generic phishing site. The domain was registered on 26 December 2024 through the registrar Leads Globe and remains active as of 12 July 2026. Its risk rating reflects the combination of recent creation, active hosting, and confirmation by multiple detection sources. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 163.61.188.9, which geolocates to the United States and is associated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) network segment. An SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (R13) is present, and HTTP requests receive a 200 OK response, indicating a live web server. Threat intelligence confirms that the domain is blocked by PhishDestroy and appears on one public security blocklist. VirusTotal scans show that five of ninety‑five security vendors flagged the domain, and AlienVault OTX reports a single pulse referencing the same indicator. These data points collectively support the phishing classification. Open questions remain regarding the specific phishing payload delivered to victims, the extent of compromised credentials, and any additional infrastructure tied to the IP address. No public evidence has surfaced linking the site to a broader campaign, and the limited number of detections suggests a possibly targeted operation. Defenders should add crediteasefinance.com.ng to URL filtering and DNS block lists, enforce outbound traffic inspection to the associated IP, and monitor TLS handshakes for the Let’s Encrypt certificate fingerprint. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as future observations may reveal expanded host activity or additional malicious indicators. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 24b2d0ee5c20133f4411dd52eca769eab7e1f6456f8805e18cdb4e2fdfd9d5e9 ## 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/crediteasefinance.com.ng/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crediteasefinance.com.ng 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.
