# PhishDestroy threat dossier — dmcalerts.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-23 08:55:30 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dmcalerts.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.202.13 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: ["molly.ns.cloudflare.com", "quinton.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-03-12 Expires: 2027-03-12 HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8396905e15c9f6381f227d9455cacb29bd10279b423f9cd306f2e63486a2de93 ## 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: 2026-03-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 23:30:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-23 08:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 13:02:09 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:42:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain dmcalerts.com has been identified as a generic phishing threat and is currently active with a high risk level. While no specific brand impersonation has been confirmed, the domain's structure and behavior are consistent with credential theft campaigns. Given its recent creation and the indicators observed, it poses a significant risk to users who may encounter it in phishing emails or deceptive websites. Technical analysis reveals that dmcalerts.com is flagged by 14 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors as malicious, and Google Safe Browsing specifically flags it for phishing. The domain was created on March 12, 2026, and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar often associated with suspicious domains. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.202.13 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt (E8), which is common among legitimate sites but also frequently abused by phishers. AlienVault OTX includes the domain in one threat intelligence pulse, and it appears on one security blocklist. These factors together indicate a high likelihood of malicious intent. PhishDestroy recommends that organizations block dmcalerts.com at the network level and add it to email security filters to prevent phishing attacks. Users should be warned not to click on any links or provide credentials if they encounter this domain. Continuous monitoring and user education are advised to mitigate the risk of credential theft and other phishing-related incidents. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 8396905e15c9f6381f227d9455cacb29bd10279b423f9cd306f2e63486a2de93 ## 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/dmcalerts.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dmcalerts.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.
