Hosting org: Lefkoff Industries Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["ns73.domaincontrol.com", "ns74.domaincontrol.com"] Registered: 2026-04-21 Page title: Enrique | Protocol Engineer HTTP response: 200 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-21 12:31:56 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-21 09:37:14 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-22 13:40:07 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019daf60-f9bd-733f-9a68-8eac4c551ee5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/44710788-392c-4b84-8a29-336c4bb65736 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cypher-digital.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cypher-digital.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cypher-digital.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cypher-digital.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cypher-digital.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-21 12:32:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies cypher-digital.com as a potential fake job scam domain posing a generic phishing threat under active investigation. This domain exhibits several red flags typical of deceptive employment schemes. Registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on December 15, 2025, the site resolves to IP address 216.198.79.1 and holds a legitimate Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal currently shows 0/95 security detections, indicating no immediate blacklisting, though this may change as analysis continues. The page title 'Enrique | Protocol Engineer' suggests a fabricated professional profile designed to appear legitimate. The domain's recent creation date combined with the lack of detection history makes it particularly concerning for job seekers. The specific threat posed by cypher-digital.com appears to be a fake job scam targeting individuals in technical fields, particularly protocol engineering. The domain's recent registration and clean VirusTotal status indicate it may be newly operational and currently evading automated detection systems. The use of a legitimate-looking page title and SSL certificate suggests an attempt to build credibility through superficial legitimacy while hiding malicious intent. Users should exercise extreme caution when encountering this domain. Verify any job offers through official company channels using contact information obtained from verified sources. Never share sensitive personal or financial information with unverified employers. If you've already interacted with this domain, monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and consider reporting the domain to your local cybercrime units. Blocklists may take time to update, so manual verification remains crucial for recently registered domains. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-815773 ## 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/cypher-digital.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cypher-digital.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
