# PhishDestroy threat dossier — desk-firelight.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 21:49:15 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/desk-firelight.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Google ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.12.116 (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. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: adam.ns.cloudflare.com, danica.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-19 Expires: 2027-06-19 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5bf6fa757cd1b3b89a5d2fd346a312b78af4259d45b6cbba464f51ddeddb0981 ## 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: 2026-06-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 15:42:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-30 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:18:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e76-00e2-751a-aabd-45f4974bd46c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/desk-firelight.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.desk-firelight.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=desk-firelight.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/desk-firelight.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/desk-firelight.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 15:45:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain desk-firelight.com is currently active and classified as a high-risk phishing infrastructure specifically designed to impersonate cryptocurrency wallet recovery services. Analysis indicates this domain is engineered to harvest wallet credentials, seed phrases, and private keys under the guise of account restoration or security verification processes. No legitimate brand affiliation has been confirmed, though the phishing kit mimics common wallet recovery workflows. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 19, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, an offshore registrar frequently associated with malicious domains. It resolves to IP address 104.21.12.116, a Cloudflare-protected endpoint that obscures the true hosting origin. The domain appears on two security blocklists and is flagged by 3 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including MetaMask and SEAL threat intelligence feeds. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy to potential victims. Despite these detections, the domain remains operational and accessible. Current status shows persistent activity with no takedown observed as of this report. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP at the network perimeter. Cryptocurrency users should verify all wallet recovery requests through official channels only, avoiding any links or forms presented via email, social media, or search results. Security teams should monitor for connections to 104.21.12.116 and review logs for credential submission attempts originating from this infrastructure. The domain's recent registration date and low detection rate suggest it may evade many automated defenses, warranting manual review of related indicators. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 774908dd96042307639e40a6950e03a0 TLS cert SHA-256: 5bf6fa757cd1b3b89a5d2fd346a312b78af4259d45b6cbba464f51ddeddb0981 ## 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/desk-firelight.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=desk-firelight.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
