# PhishDestroy threat dossier — epnicaragua.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-21 23:44:45 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/epnicaragua.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 94/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 159.198.74.107 (US, San Jose) Hosting org: AS22612 Namecheap, Inc. Registrar: INWX GmbH Nameservers: ns.inwx.com, ns2.inwx.com, ns3.inwx.eu Registered: 2025-10-09 Expires: 2026-10-09 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-23 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5c61cafd55e513974b8633bd6f0c36d5b2e9513075ed5e539d15a2e5cfcb60d9 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - autodiscover.epnicaragua.org - cpanel.epnicaragua.org - cpcalendars.epnicaragua.org - cpcontacts.epnicaragua.org - mail.epnicaragua.org - webdisk.epnicaragua.org - webmail.epnicaragua.org - www.epnicaragua.org - www.epnicaragua.org.beninmaritime.net ## 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: 2025-10-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-21 16:17:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-21 14:20:34 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-22 01:17:05 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-22 00:02:43 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eea89-d34c-72a2-a4d2-8e3e0391fcad/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/140870b1-24e9-40cf-aec9-fe6e5badf924 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/epnicaragua.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.epnicaragua.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=epnicaragua.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/epnicaragua.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/epnicaragua.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-21 22:34:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain epnicaragua[.]org is presenting itself as a generic scam, currently hosted on IP 159.198.74.107 in San Jose, US, by AS22612 Namecheap, Inc. It was created on 2025-10-09 and first detected by PhishDestroy on 2026-06-21. With 3 of 91 vendors on VirusTotal flagging it as malicious and being listed on 1 public blocklist, including PhishDestroy, this domain is considered a risk. The site is actively using an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, specifically R13. Registrar INWX GmbH is responsible for the domain registration. The site remains active. Defenders should block access to epnicaragua[.]org to prevent potential phishing attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260621-7A2B55 TLS cert SHA-256: 5c61cafd55e513974b8633bd6f0c36d5b2e9513075ed5e539d15a2e5cfcb60d9 ## 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 (volunteer 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/epnicaragua.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=epnicaragua.org 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
