Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, emergentbot-fr.live, operates as a credential theft and investment fraud platform under the guise of an AI-assisted trading service. Analysis indicates the site specifically targets French-speaking users with promises of automated cryptocurrency or stock trading, a common tactic to lure victims into entering sensitive account credentials, payment details, or depositing funds into fraudulent wallets. The threat extends beyond initial credential theft, as stolen data is frequently used for account takeovers, unauthorized transactions, or sold on underground markets, amplifying the financial and identity risks to victims. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-risk indicators. The domain was registered on May 7, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar often associated with malicious or high-risk domains due to lenient registration policies. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.173.157, which is part of a network range known for hosting phishing and fraudulent sites. Security vendor detection is minimal but notable: only 1 out of 95 vendors on VirusTotal currently flag this domain, suggesting either a new campaign or evasion techniques designed to bypass automated detection. The site uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which provides encryption but is commonly exploited by threat actors to create a false sense of legitimacy. If you have visited emergentbot-fr.live or interacted with its content, immediate action is required to mitigate risks. First, cease all communication with the site and do not enter any additional information. If credentials or payment details were submitted, revoke access to any linked accounts, enable multi-factor authentication, and monitor for unauthorized transactions. Contact your financial institution to report potential fraud and request transaction reviews. Scan your device for malware using updated security tools, as credential theft sites often deploy malicious scripts or payloads. Report the domain to relevant authorities or cybersecurity organizations to aid in takedown efforts and prevent further victimization. For future protection, verify the legitimacy of trading platforms through official channels and avoid sites with recent registration dates or unclear ownership. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: ef9df3528de94936667f24d513645fd2 TLS cert SHA-256: b040d8bb54e6e3a6e9fba716610b6f55b8dcd1ae5a7ac0a3004268fd334efecf ## 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/emergentbot-fr.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=emergentbot-fr.live 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.
