No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-03-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-25 18:00:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:06:41 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d2580-afaa-70a5-b89e-288354e3903c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/download-help-guide.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.download-help-guide.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=download-help-guide.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/download-help-guide.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/download-help-guide.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-25 18:05:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies download-help-guide.pages.dev as a brand impersonation phishing domain currently under investigation. This domain mimics legitimate download guides, likely targeting users seeking software or media files to steal credentials or deliver malicious payloads. The risk level remains under investigation but demands immediate scrutiny due to its active status and suspicious infrastructure alignment. This report compiles verified threat intelligence on download-help-guide.pages.dev. VirusTotal currently flags the domain with 0/95 detections, indicating no immediate consensus on maliciousness despite its suspicious nature. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and is registered through Cloudflare, Inc., leveraging Google Trust Services for its SSL certificate. Notably, the domain uses Cloudflare Pages, a legitimate service, which complicates initial suspicion but does not validate its intent. Additional risk factors include its active status and the absence of reported sightings on major blocklists, suggesting this may be a newly deployed or carefully obfuscated threat. The SSL certificate’s issuance by Google Trust Services further underscores the need for caution, as phishers often exploit trusted issuers to bypass user suspicion. Users interacting with download-help-guide.pages.dev are advised to treat it as a high-risk brand impersonation phishing domain until further investigation confirms otherwise. To mitigate exposure, avoid clicking links or downloading files from this domain, especially those claiming to offer guides or software. Hover over URLs to verify destination domains, and cross-check with official sources before engaging. Security tools such as browser extensions or dedicated phishing domain databases should be updated regularly to flag similar threats. If credentials were entered, change passwords immediately and enable multi-factor authentication where possible. Report this domain to threat intelligence platforms or cybersecurity authorities to aid ongoing investigations. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 6/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 403fba90d12285f581bdb59cd4793c58450ad839140494496c91bee47836aa0a ## 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/download-help-guide.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=download-help-guide.pages.dev 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.
