# PhishDestroy threat dossier — dappsdev.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-08-01 18:09:57 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dappsdev.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Investment Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 12/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, Seclookup, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 5 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: ["alexa.ns.cloudflare.com", "lakas.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:22:44 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:22:44 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-08-01 16:21:11 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 15:24:05 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01989b42-dbf2-720b-b9dc-433dab5d7f42/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a37a227d-3bff-4a62-a645-205d752ba6d1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dappsdev.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dappsdev.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dappsdev.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dappsdev.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dappsdev.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-23 09:06:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] dappsdev.cc – Investment Phishing Campaign (High Risk) The domain dappsdev.cc was first registered on February 21, 2026 through Cloudflare, Inc. and resolves to the Cloudflare‑owned address 188.114.97.3 located in Canada. The domain is served via Cloudflare’s network, using HTTP/3, and its authoritative nameservers are alexa.ns.cloudflare.com and lakas.ns.cloudflare.com. The page title returned when the site was reachable reads "Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare", indicating that Cloudflare has flagged the content as malicious. Security telemetry shows the domain appears on five independent blocklists and is specifically listed by PhishDestroy, ScamSniffer, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura. VirusTotal scans reported 12 of 93 vendors marking the domain as malicious, reinforcing the blocklist findings. The Gridinsoft trust score is 0 out of 100, reflecting a complete lack of trust. Analysts have categorized the activity as an investment scam, a form of phishing designed to lure victims with promises of financial returns. No additional technical artifacts such as SSL certificate details, redirect chains, or payload samples have been published, so the exact luring vectors remain uncertain. The site’s current status is offline, suggesting that the operators have taken it down or that takedown actions were successful. Defenders should continue to block the domain at the DNS layer, add it to web‑filtering and email‑security policies, and monitor for any resurgence using the same registrar or IP range. Given the Cloudflare hosting, future re‑hosting under different subdomains is possible; thus, threat‑intel feeds should be queried for new domains registered by the same account. Incident response teams should also scrutinize inbound communications that reference investment offers, especially those that reference the domain name or similar lexical patterns. ## 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/dappsdev.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dappsdev.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.
