Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies dmca-gov.cfd as an active domain engaged in government impersonation scams, specifically targeting unsuspecting users through deceptive social engineering tactics. This domain mimics official government communications to trick victims into divulging sensitive information or downloading malware. The threat is heightened by its recent creation date, suggesting a rapidly deployed campaign aimed at exploiting user trust in legitimate .gov domains. This domain was flagged by 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a high-risk classification. It was registered through Global Domain Group LLC on April 16, 2026, underscoring its recency and opportunistic nature. Additionally, dmca-gov.cfd appears on one security blocklist and is blocked by InversionDNS, while Google Safe Browsing categorizes it under SOCIAL_ENGINEERING—a clear indicator of its malicious intent. Its resolution to IP 172.67.176.236 and the presence of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate further legitimize its appearance, making it a stealthy and dangerous threat. If you visited dmca-gov.cfd, immediately disconnect from the internet and scan your device for malware using reputable antivirus software. Avoid entering any personal or financial information on the site, as it may be compromised. Report the domain to your local cybersecurity authority or through platforms like Google Safe Browsing to help prevent further victims. Stay vigilant and verify the authenticity of government-related communications through official channels. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260423-7048EB Favicon MD5: ee4dd7fb01baf2914c6c628a090a85e0 TLS cert SHA-256: a9ce20b2a5e99aeef1b0a59f3608012f31d1f31b03266e729bf2e6c5777065bd ## 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/dmca-gov.cfd/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dmca-gov.cfd 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.
