Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] education-core.site — Phishing Investigation Report The domain education-core.site was registered on January 24, 2026 through Namecheap Inc and is currently resolving to the IP address 172.67.147.251. The authoritative nameservers are damiete.ns.cloudflare.com and naya.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating that the domain is using Cloudflare’s DNS and CDN services. As of the report date, July 22, 2026, the domain remains active and is listed on a single security blocklist. PhishDestroy has already added the domain to its block list, and it appears on one external blocklist, suggesting that at least one security product has identified it as abusive. VirusTotal scanned the domain with 95 antivirus and URL‑reputation engines, reporting no detections; however, the lack of detections does not constitute assurance of benign behavior. No additional public intelligence sources such as OTX, Safe Browsing, or brand‑targeted indicators have been observed for this domain. The available evidence points to a newly created infrastructure that is being used for generic phishing, but the specific payload, targeted brand, or phishing kit has not been disclosed. Because the domain is actively resolving, is already blocked by PhishDestroy, and has a Cloudflare front‑end that can obscure origin infrastructure, defenders should proactively block the domain at perimeter firewalls, DNS filters, and endpoint protection solutions. Continuous monitoring of DNS queries for education-core.site and its associated IP address is recommended, as well as periodic re‑scans on VirusTotal or comparable services to capture any future malicious changes. The investigation remains open pending further behavioral analysis or victim reports. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260722-2E0A4B TLS cert SHA-256: bdc6dfd191ed0461f17f478b31b7e5770646f3b4df420a68fc95f151912c88cb ## 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/education-core.site/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=education-core.site 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.
