# PhishDestroy threat dossier — dm.covmnd.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 22:35:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dm.covmnd.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Fortinet, SOCRadar, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 82.165.110.163 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) Hosting org: AS8560 IONOS SE Registrar: IONOS SE Nameservers: ns1.testpphpcss.shop, ns2.testpphpcss.shop Registered: 2026-05-23 Expires: 2027-05-23 Page title: Jane Smith | CEO & Thought Leader ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-08-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 51ac5b5beea42caed3ca5e07e4cd89181d130f62526a20a8ac1abe8a8bb0fdee ## 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: 2026-05-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-02 15:16:41 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-02 13:29:44 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-05 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-03 03:02:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f22f8-6bb7-734a-9ca3-b8496a290bf5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f25ea33b-e263-41f2-beb4-b6d764f0cf4b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dm.covmnd.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dm.covmnd.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dm.covmnd.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dm.covmnd.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dm.covmnd.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-02 16:24:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, dm.covmnd.com, is identified as an active credential-harvesting phishing infrastructure designed to mimic legitimate login portals. Analysis indicates the threat operates as a generic phishing kit, likely deployed to capture user credentials, payment details, or other sensitive information through deceptive web forms. No specific brand impersonation or drainer kit signatures have been confirmed at this stage, though the domain exhibits characteristics consistent with large-scale phishing campaigns targeting multiple sectors. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 82.165.110.163 and was registered through IONOS SE on May 23, 2026. It holds a VirusTotal detection score of 5/95 security vendors, with two independent blocklists (PhishDestroy and OpenPhish) currently listing it as malicious. The domain employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy to phishing sites. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) listing has been observed at the time of assessment, though this may reflect a lag in propagation rather than a clean status. As of the latest verification, dm.covmnd.com remains active and unresolved by the registrar or hosting provider. The domain's creation date in the future (May 2026) suggests either a typographical error in registration records or an attempt to evade temporal-based detection heuristics. Response actions should include immediate blacklisting at the network perimeter, DNS sinkholing, and monitoring for related subdomains or IP reuse. The remaining risk is classified as high due to the domain's operational status, low detection rate, and lack of takedown measures. Organizations are advised to block all connections to 82.165.110.163 and conduct retrospective log analysis for prior exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260702-DAF78D TLS cert SHA-256: 51ac5b5beea42caed3ca5e07e4cd89181d130f62526a20a8ac1abe8a8bb0fdee ## 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/dm.covmnd.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dm.covmnd.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.
