# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ddos-for-hire.services ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 05:29:27 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ddos-for-hire.services/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 68/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (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.

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: 2026-04-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-01 17:41:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-01 15:12:48 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 07:17:02 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-01 23:11:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019de3fa-c510-774c-84eb-c36b664866f4/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c465e423-4be1-46fa-ad70-5526a23835dd Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ddos-for-hire.services crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ddos-for-hire.services Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ddos-for-hire.services AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ddos-for-hire.services URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ddos-for-hire.services/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-01 17:43:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain ddos-for-hire.services masquerades as a DDoS-for-hire ('booter') service, a front for cybercriminal operations designed to facilitate illegal attacks while defrauding unsuspecting users. This domain specifically markets itself as a tool for launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, a service explicitly tied to cybercrime. While legitimate network stress testing tools exist, this domain’s name and context strongly suggest malicious intent, including the potential to deceive users into purchasing non-functional services or delivering malware disguised as attack tools. Users should treat any interaction with this domain as a high-risk activity involving fraud and possible exposure to malicious payloads. PhishDestroy identifies ddos-for-hire.services as a high-risk threat due to multiple red flags. The domain currently shows 0 detections out of 95 on VirusTotal, indicating it has evaded detection by most security vendors. It resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on April 24, 2026—an unusually recent creation date suggesting opportunistic domain squatting or rapid deployment for malicious purposes. Despite using a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy, the lack of historical blocklist entries and absence of detections imply this domain is actively being set up for malicious campaigns. The combination of a highly suspicious service name, recent registration, and clean VirusTotal report signals an emerging threat likely intended for fraud or malware distribution. Users who have visited ddos-for-hire.services should immediately cease any interaction and scan their devices for malware using trusted antivirus software. Avoid entering any personal or payment information on the site, as it may be harvested for fraudulent use. If the domain was accessed via a work device, report the incident to IT security teams to prevent lateral movement or data exfiltration. This domain is likely part of a broader campaign targeting individuals seeking illegal services; even passive access could expose users to drive-by downloads or social engineering traps. Proactive monitoring of financial accounts and network traffic is recommended for anyone who engaged with the site. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260501-7B215C Favicon MD5: 9f4a231968909f4fd13b6d106bd34f49 TLS cert SHA-256: f48996a942eca5519c7a63ace100b033dc4a194c4a40c1b4022b8545e412d824 ## 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/ddos-for-hire.services/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ddos-for-hire.services 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.
