# PhishDestroy threat dossier — dragonfly-protocol.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-05 15:53:58 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dragonfly-protocol.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 184.86.103.196 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS20940 AKAMAI-ASN1 Akamai International B.V., NL Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. 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: abby.ns.cloudflare.com, gannon.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-21 Expires: 2027-06-21 Page title: Capital One | Credit Cards, Checking, Savings & Auto Loans HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: aeb8b8e913bb17cbd85b88ed4d72bd79527216e9e26c478b7e3ee1de5e76a6d0 ## 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: 2026-06-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-22 21:54:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-05 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-23 00:01:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ef0e4-c99f-722f-9e36-c23e5d4ddeda/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dragonfly-protocol.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dragonfly-protocol.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dragonfly-protocol.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dragonfly-protocol.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dragonfly-protocol.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:26:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Dragonfly-protocol.com emerges as a new phishing threat, flagged by 1 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal. This domain, registered with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, is hosted on IP address 104.21.96.95. Despite the low detection rate, its recent creation on June 21, 2026, highlights its potential danger as phishing domains often exploit early detection gaps. The domain's rapid detection by PhishDestroy on June 22, 2026, underscores its novelty and the proactive nature of our threat intelligence capabilities. Phishing domains like dragonfly-protocol.com frequently leverage the 24-72 hour window between registration and antivirus database updates to launch attacks. This period is critical as many security systems have yet to recognize the threat, making early detection crucial. The use of NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED as a registrar is notable, as it may indicate a pattern or preference for certain registrars by threat actors. The hosting on Cloudflare's infrastructure, indicated by the IP address, suggests an attempt to mask the domain's true origin and intentions, complicating efforts to trace and mitigate the threat. Overall, dragonfly-protocol.com represents a typical example of how phishing operations are evolving to exploit gaps in detection. By identifying such domains promptly, we can inform security measures to protect potential targets. The low VirusTotal detection count should not be misconstrued as safety but rather as an indication of the domain's recent emergence and the urgency of addressing such threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 10798ef077b5ec105979ad8cb70d785f TLS cert SHA-256: aeb8b8e913bb17cbd85b88ed4d72bd79527216e9e26c478b7e3ee1de5e76a6d0 ## 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/dragonfly-protocol.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dragonfly-protocol.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.
