# PhishDestroy threat dossier — equitehubs.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-25 08:01:32 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/equitehubs.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Netcraft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.251.84.200 (LU, Luxembourg) ASN: AS53667 FranTech Solutions Hosting org: FranTech Solutions Registrar: OwnRegistrar, Inc. Nameservers: 10276.dns3.managedns.org, 10276.dns4.managedns.org, ns5.my-control-panel.com, ns6.my-control-panel.com Registered: 2025-11-16 Page title: Welcome | Equitehub | Digital | Cryptocurrency Investment | Etherium Investment ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-08-16 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 55803af916009f9f348e644499beffd9818f4d3722268d12536b837e4dbbf3ee Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - mail.equitehubs.com - www.equitehubs.com ## 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: 2025-11-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-20 04:32:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-20 01:33:41 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 08:20:45 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:26 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e4302-8c88-704e-9882-784a80b12ef8/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/66ade484-cde0-46bf-a2b8-50a11aadade8 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/equitehubs.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.equitehubs.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=equitehubs.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/equitehubs.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/equitehubs.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:54:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies equitehubs.com as an elevated-risk domain hosting a cryptocurrency drainer, a specific type of phishing that tricks users into connecting their wallets and then steals their funds. The site masquerades as a legitimate investment platform for Ethereum and other digital assets, but its true purpose is credential theft and wallet draining. Given its offline status, the immediate threat is mitigated, but the domain could be reactivated or repurposed. Technical indicators paint a clear picture of risk. VirusTotal reports that 1 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, a low but significant detection rate suggesting it may be new or evasive. The domain was registered on November 16, 2025, through OwnRegistrar, Inc., a registrar often associated with low-quality or abusive domains. It resolves to IP address 198.251.84.200 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (R13), which provides encryption but no assurance of legitimacy. The site appears on one security blocklist, and its page title, "Welcome | Equitehub | Digital | Cryptocurrency Investment | Etherium Investment," is a classic lure for crypto investors. The domain is currently offline, but its recent creation and suspicious profile warrant caution. Users who may have interacted with equitehubs.com should take immediate action. Since the threat is a crypto drainer, any wallet that was connected to the site should be considered compromised. Revoke all approvals for the site via blockchain explorers like Etherscan or BscScan, and transfer remaining assets to a new, secure wallet immediately. Enable two-factor authentication on all exchange accounts and monitor for unauthorized transactions. Avoid visiting the domain even if it comes back online, and report any associated addresses to relevant security platforms. Staying vigilant against unsolicited investment offers is key to avoiding similar scams. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260520-06E9D1 Favicon MD5: 0f98b704c93538fcb68377c679051b5a TLS cert SHA-256: 55803af916009f9f348e644499beffd9818f4d3722268d12536b837e4dbbf3ee ## 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/equitehubs.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=equitehubs.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
