# PhishDestroy threat dossier — dcentfirmware.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 18:34:22 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dcentfirmware.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.131.168 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: indie.ns.cloudflare.com, lloyd.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-27 Expires: 2027-06-27 Page title: D'CENT Security Firmware Update ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-28 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: cddd3509e9d7482782095ecb4261d540b8d7a26374c39cdebd22346b09fd3431 ## 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: 2026-06-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 06:05:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 04:16:21 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1bd9-0434-72db-ad76-0bf2bcd3efd8/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f0da6040-3e2c-4752-9aa4-7cc1398712c3 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dcentfirmware.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dcentfirmware.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dcentfirmware.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dcentfirmware.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dcentfirmware.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 07:34:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis of the domain dcentfirmware.live indicates a high risk level associated with credential theft. The domain is actively used in phishing campaigns aimed at stealing user credentials, potentially compromising sensitive information and leading to further malicious activities. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on June 27, 2026. It currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.131.168 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. Despite the SSL certificate, which may lend a false sense of security, the domain is flagged by 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain is included in 1 threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, indicating its involvement in known malicious activities. The current status of the domain is active, posing a continuous threat to unsuspecting users. To mitigate the risk of credential theft, users should avoid clicking on links or entering personal information on the dcentfirmware.live website. Network administrators should implement DNS filtering and block the IP address 172.67.131.168 to prevent access to the domain. Additionally, security awareness training should be conducted to educate employees about the signs of phishing attacks and the importance of verifying the legitimacy of requested actions, such as firmware updates. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-01E008 Favicon MD5: c3024cff95b2e513841635935e0aa1fe TLS cert SHA-256: cddd3509e9d7482782095ecb4261d540b8d7a26374c39cdebd22346b09fd3431 ## 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/dcentfirmware.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dcentfirmware.live 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.
