# PhishDestroy threat dossier — emzysmsverify.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 05:28:34 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/emzysmsverify.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 98/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 163.61.188.7 (US, Staten Island) ASN: AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE Hosting org: MIT Registrar: Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc Nameservers: dns1.lytehosting.com, dns2.lytehosting.com, dns3.lytehosting.com, dns4.lytehosting.com, ns1.cprapid.com, ns2.cprapid.com Registered: 2024-10-25 Expires: 2026-10-25 Page title: EmzySMSVerify — Instant SMS Verification ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-08-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c75a8065615c667f4a58414ca8c6416428d26841cb739cf7d2d5af7c8d55d5a3 ## 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: 2024-10-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 04:11:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 02:43:26 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 07:17:25 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b71-385f-76c9-b7d2-0927f0fd3bbb/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/31b471db-00ce-4523-9a65-c35a3f304995 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/emzysmsverify.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.emzysmsverify.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=emzysmsverify.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/emzysmsverify.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/emzysmsverify.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 04:16:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, emzysmsverify.com, is flagged for credential phishing activity targeting users seeking SMS verification services. Analysis indicates the site impersonates legitimate platforms to harvest login credentials, likely for account takeovers or fraudulent transactions. The page title, 'EmzySMSVerify — Instant SMS Verification,' reinforces the deception by closely resembling authentic verification services, though no specific brand impersonation has been confirmed at this stage. The absence of a known drainer kit suggests a focus on credential collection rather than direct cryptocurrency theft. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on October 25, 2024, through Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc. It resolves to the IP address 163.61.188.7, which currently hosts no other flagged domains in public threat feeds. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites. VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 engines, indicating the domain has not yet been widely flagged. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100, further supporting the assessment of malicious intent. No entries were found in Google Safe Browsing or other major blocklists as of the latest scan. The domain remains active and unblocked by most security vendors, posing a continued risk to unsuspecting users. Response actions should include monitoring for new detections, analyzing traffic patterns to the IP, and submitting samples to additional threat intelligence platforms. Users are advised to verify SMS verification services through official app stores or direct provider websites, avoiding third-party links. Organizations should consider preemptive blocking of the domain and IP in network security controls, given the lack of prior detections and the recent registration date, which are common traits of credential phishing campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-21EDCE Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: c75a8065615c667f4a58414ca8c6416428d26841cb739cf7d2d5af7c8d55d5a3 ## 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/emzysmsverify.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=emzysmsverify.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.
