Nameservers: ["dave.ns.cloudflare.com", "jessica.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-11 HTTP response: 502 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-09-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 899f5cc485e08d17902d9704d2ea2f8833a7789b9f496f7ca0f08046add0904b ## 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: 2026-06-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-11 18:30:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 03:44:18 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-16 12:20:39 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 10:24:59 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ec86a-21ba-7298-826d-4960ad321145/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/elfcosmeticsonline.shop crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.elfcosmeticsonline.shop Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=elfcosmeticsonline.shop AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/elfcosmeticsonline.shop URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/elfcosmeticsonline.shop/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 23:43:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, elfcosmeticsonline.shop, is identified as a credential theft operation designed to harvest login details from unsuspecting users. The site impersonates legitimate cosmetics brands, offering fake discounts or promotions to lure victims into entering sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and payment details. Credential theft of this nature can lead to unauthorized account access, financial fraud, and identity theft, particularly if victims reuse passwords across multiple platforms. Analysis indicates that elfcosmeticsonline.shop is flagged by 13 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a clear indicator of its malicious intent. The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc., a registrar frequently associated with fraudulent activities due to its accessibility and low barriers to entry. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain resolves to the IP address 193.162.133.154, which has been linked to multiple phishing campaigns in recent threat intelligence reports. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist and is referenced in four AlienVault OTX pulses, further corroborating its association with malicious infrastructure. Users who have visited elfcosmeticsonline.shop or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. First, change passwords for any accounts that may have been exposed, prioritizing email, banking, and social media platforms. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible to add an extra layer of security. Monitor financial statements and credit reports for signs of unauthorized activity, and consider placing a fraud alert with credit bureaus if sensitive information was disclosed. If payment details were entered, contact the relevant financial institution to report potential fraud and request a card replacement. Finally, scan devices for malware using updated security tools to ensure no additional threats were introduced during the visit. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d63b58f7413b27e213b9228006408881 TLS cert SHA-256: 899f5cc485e08d17902d9704d2ea2f8833a7789b9f496f7ca0f08046add0904b ## 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/elfcosmeticsonline.shop/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=elfcosmeticsonline.shop 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.
