# PhishDestroy threat dossier — dep53h.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 01:50:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dep53h.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 70/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.157.199 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2026-04-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-16 07:50:40 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-16 04:51:36 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-22 01:40:15 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-21 22:03:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019d949f-bd48-71e8-b22e-9c07bbe2f801/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e00288f8-1685-49ea-90d7-49daa621e28a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dep53h.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dep53h.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dep53h.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dep53h.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dep53h.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-16 07:51:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies dep53h.net as an active credential-harvesting domain posing as a login portal, currently under investigation for generic phishing activity. This deceptive site was registered on April 13, 2026 through NameSilo, LLC and resolves to IP address 172.67.157.199. It utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, yet remains undetected with 0 out of 95 VirusTotal scans flagging it as malicious. As of now, no known blocklists or trust-score services have categorized this domain as unsafe. This domain exhibits multiple red flags consistent with phishing infrastructure. Its recent creation date, combined with the use of a free SSL certificate and obscure hosting via Cloudflare (AS13335), suggests an attempt to evade detection. The absence of detections on VirusTotal is not uncommon for newly deployed phishing domains, which often fly under the radar until user reports accumulate. The combination of a freshly registered domain, low traffic volume, and generic registration details further supports its suspicious nature. To mitigate risks associated with dep53h.net, users should avoid interacting with any login prompts or forms on this domain. Organizations are advised to block the IP 172.67.157.199 and domain dep53h.net at the network perimeter. Security teams should monitor DNS logs for queries related to this domain and inspect outbound traffic for credential submission attempts. If credentials have been entered, users must rotate passwords immediately and enable multi-factor authentication on all associated accounts. Report any incidents to your IT security team and consider submitting the domain to threat intelligence platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260416-177687 Favicon MD5: 0d05d7db9a8be65be098c92efcbf35e8 TLS cert SHA-256: bda425d06f03c2c917834df9b7bdfafcf2cd7e1c6c264a23720cb5690b3d6d74 ## 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/dep53h.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dep53h.net 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.
