# PhishDestroy threat dossier — desk.ru.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-23 09:35:11 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/desk.ru.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing Targeted brand: Wells Fargo ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Netcraft, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 66.116.236.12 (US, Phoenix) ASN: ASAS31898 ORACLE-BMC-31898 - Oracle Corporation, US Hosting org: AS31898 Oracle Corporation Registrar: Sav.com, LLC Nameservers: ["ns1.centralnic.net", "ns2.centralnic.net", "ns3.centralnic.net", "ns4.centralnic.net"] Page title: Sign On to View Your Personal Accounts | Wells Fargo HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-18 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 0e3e374396293ed5d3e3799f19a86c5cebe499eeff22dcb8a5f9d63602bf7fb4 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-22 11:47:14 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-22 09:48:26 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-23 11:13:10 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-23 00:26:39 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f8937-ef7e-70eb-b364-147215d870a6/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/65b5c7b3-d108-4512-b7c7-b29b537709d6 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/desk.ru.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.desk.ru.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=desk.ru.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/desk.ru.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/desk.ru.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-22 11:48:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] desk.ru.com Credential Harvesting Campaign – High Risk Analysis of desk.ru.com indicates an active generic phishing infrastructure targeting credential collection. VirusTotal reports that 11 of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain, demonstrating multi‑engine detection of malicious activity. The domain resolves to IP address 66.116.236.12 and is served through Cloudflare nameservers augustus.ns.cloudflare.com and laura.ns.cloudflare.com, suggesting the operators are leveraging a reputable CDN to obscure origin and increase resilience. Both PhishDestroy and OpenPhish have added desk.ru.com to their blocklists, and the domain appears on two additional security blocklists, confirming its recognition by community‑driven threat feeds. Current status remains active, meaning the site continues to host malicious content or redirect victims. No public SSL certificate details or HTTP response codes are provided, so the presence of HTTPS or specific server behavior remains uncertain. Defenders should prioritize immediate containment by adding desk.ru.com and its resolved IP 66.116.236.12 to DNS and proxy blocklists, enforce strict outbound traffic monitoring for connections to that address, and enable endpoint protection that references the 11 vendor detections. Continuous monitoring of Cloudflare name server changes is advised, as adversaries may shift hosting or employ additional subdomains. Given the confirmed blocklist entries and multi‑engine detections, the domain presents a high‑risk profile and should be treated as malicious until definitive takedown confirmation is obtained. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260722-506AAB Favicon MD5: 756b27d9892687495692a979b591e358 TLS cert SHA-256: 0e3e374396293ed5d3e3799f19a86c5cebe499eeff22dcb8a5f9d63602bf7fb4 ## 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/desk.ru.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=desk.ru.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.
