The domain defender.services, associated with a high threat score of 85/100, has been identified as a generic phishing operation and is currently down. It has been flagged by 1 out of 95 security vendors, with SOCRadar being the notable vendor that detected it as malicious. The domain is listed on 3 public blocklists, but it is not flagged by Google Safe Browsing, indicating a potential gap in detection coverage.
Registered with HOSTINGER operations, UAB, the domain was created on February 21, 2026, and was first seen on February 14, 2026. The hosting IP address is 216.198.79.65. The lack of a specific brand being impersonated suggests a broad targeting strategy typical of generic scams.
Given the high threat score and confirmed malicious activity, block the domain at the perimeter and submit a report to the registrar's abuse desk for further investigation.

What we count
Elapsed time from the first stored abuse report to the first observation that the content was unavailable. This does not establish the cause.

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
This timeline displays historical security and status checkpoints observed by the PhishDestroy automated monitoring network. It records domain lifecycle updates, scanner changes, and threat telemetry over time.
12 recorded events. These records describe collected evidence, outgoing notifications and publication; they do not confirm a complete investigation or a takedown.

A stored Cloudflare Radar report is available. The report link alone is not a malicious verdict and does not prove that every network field was captured.
The latest stored checks indicate that the reported content is unavailable; this does not establish who or what caused the change.
