# PhishDestroy threat dossier — deepdex.icu ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 02:48:00 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/deepdex.icu/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- ACTIVE + CLOAKED — returns HTTP 666 to scanners, real fraudulent site to victims Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange Cloaking: DETECTED — domain returns custom HTTP 666 to scanners while serving fraudulent content to real users (type: content_divergence) (score: 1/6) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft URLQuery: 3 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.12.211 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: ["gloria.ns.cloudflare.com", "lee.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-03-30 Page title: DeepDex ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-03-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-30 04:56:55 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-30 01:57:15 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 04:05:51 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/019d3c72-aa8b-767c-9201-b6796d3b8082/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f164ab63-b4b5-4e0d-bfec-78b18841825f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/deepdex.icu crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.deepdex.icu Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=deepdex.icu AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/deepdex.icu URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/deepdex.icu/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-30 04:58:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] deepdex.icu is flagged as an active phishing domain under investigation by PhishDestroy, posing a generic phishing threat. This domain was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com on March 22, 2026, and resolves to IP address 104.21.12.211. VirusTotal currently reports 0/95 detections, indicating no immediate blacklisting, though this may change as further intelligence is gathered. No additional blocklist or trust score data is publicly available at this stage. PhishDestroy identifies deepdex.icu as a high-risk domain due to its specific threat classification as a generic phishing scam. The domain’s recent creation date (March 22, 2026) suggests opportunistic registration, while its resolution to IP 104.21.12.211 and reliance on a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate may be used to lend false legitimacy. With 0/95 VirusTotal detections, the domain remains undetected by mainstream security tools, increasing the risk of successful phishing campaigns. The use of PDR Ltd. as the registrar does not inherently indicate malice, but the combination of factors—including the lack of historical trust data—warrants caution. To mitigate risk, users should avoid interacting with deepdex.icu, especially entering personal or financial information. Organizations should block the domain and associated IP (104.21.12.211) at the network level. Security teams are advised to monitor for updates as this domain remains under active investigation. PhishDestroy will reassess the risk level as new intelligence emerges. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260330-42F773 Favicon MD5: 8d2f6f49a5b99b650320ef03db0f8e34 ## 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/deepdex.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=deepdex.icu 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.
