# PhishDestroy threat dossier — derotex.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-29 11:37:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/derotex.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Social Media Phishing Targeted brand: genericcloudflare ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 8/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registered: 2026-02-21 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: WE1 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:22:46 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:22:46 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-29 12:21:26 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-17 00:04:10 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bbd7f-6104-7658-9cd2-6f403db2b863/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/33278c08-491f-4982-9ea7-a679dedb0e9f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/derotex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.derotex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=derotex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/derotex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/derotex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-25 01:54:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is derotex.com a Social Media Phishing Site? This domain, derotex.com, was registered on February 21, 2026 and is currently listed as offline. Infrastructure analysis shows the name resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc., placing the host in the United States. The TLS certificate presented is identified as WE1, indicating the use of a generic or possibly self‑issued certificate rather than a trusted brand‑validated chain. VirusTotal has recorded eight detections out of ninety‑three scanned scanners, demonstrating that multiple security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious. In addition, the domain appears on a single external blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, reinforcing its categorisation as a threat. The supplied intelligence classifies the activity as social‑media phishing, an elevated‑risk vector that typically harvests credentials by impersonating trusted platforms. Because the site is offline, active probing is not possible, but the existing indicators suggest a short‑lived infrastructure designed for rapid deployment and takedown. Defenders should continue to enforce deny‑list rules for the resolved IP 188.114.96.3 and the domain name itself, monitor for any re‑registration attempts, and incorporate the eight VirusTotal detections into their detection logic. Threat‑intel platforms should update enrichment tables to reflect the association with Cloudflare hosting and the WE1 certificate, and security teams should remain vigilant for similar domains created in the same period that target social‑media users. At present, no public page title or content snapshot is available, so the exact phishing landing page design cannot be confirmed. Consequently, analysts should treat any future resolution of derotex.com as potentially hostile until a thorough content review can be performed. ## 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/derotex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=derotex.com 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.
