# PhishDestroy threat dossier — deviceverify-google.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-20 17:31:06 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/deviceverify-google.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 82/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Google ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/92 security vendors flagged this domain ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.13.67 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: julio.ns.cloudflare.com, laila.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-18 Page title: Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page: It works HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-15 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 84c1e2ffc74920c100deb642944bbaa5b65ada27b4cadea7807ab1f8c0275b3a ## 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: 2026-05-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-19 07:42:41 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-19 04:43:27 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-20 05:15:02 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-19 10:26:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e3e8a-51f6-7208-b5d0-4ea7e34ad7b8/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c9eadec1-7b3e-4988-978e-1ff8c2b95e6d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/deviceverify-google.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.deviceverify-google.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=deviceverify-google.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/deviceverify-google.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/deviceverify-google.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-19 07:43:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies deviceverify-google.com as an active brand impersonation site targeting Google users. The domain employs deceptive naming (deviceverify-google.com) to appear legitimate, likely attempting to harvest credentials or distribute malware under Google's guise. No specific drainer kit signatures were detected in the initial analysis, but the mimicry of Google's verification workflow suggests a high risk of credential theft or system compromise. Domain technical indicators confirm its malicious intent. VirusTotal reports 0/95 detection engines flagged this domain as of the latest scan—indicating it remains under the radar despite its clear impersonation tactics. Registered through Global Domain Group LLC, the domain resolves to IP 104.21.13.67 and secured an SSL certificate via Let's Encrypt on May 18, 2026, a suspiciously recent creation date for a site claiming affiliation with Google. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has yet to blacklist this domain, and no current blocklist entries were found in public feeds, increasing exposure risk to users. The domain is classified as 'active' with a status of 'under_investigation' by PhishDestroy. Immediate actions include adding deviceverify-google.com to network and endpoint blocklists, flagging the IP range for all traffic, and warning users about the domain’s deceptive branding. Remaining risk remains moderate to high: the domain’s undetected state (0/95 VT) and fresh registration window (May 18, 2026) provide attackers ample time to refine tactics and lure victims. Users should avoid interaction entirely and report any sightings to security teams or Google Safe Browsing. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260519-1695FF TLS cert SHA-256: 84c1e2ffc74920c100deb642944bbaa5b65ada27b4cadea7807ab1f8c0275b3a ## 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/deviceverify-google.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=deviceverify-google.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.
