Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Namecheap, Inc. Nameservers: ["bradley.ns.cloudflare.com", "sureena.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-12 Page title: esteemiron.shop | 523: Origin is unreachable ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7b011e70fe1ff683d7609ac0355faaf103edf1d151afba37ff906d139c4bbad3 ## 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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-12 21:47:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-12 21:47:17 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 00:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 03:48:02 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ebd5e-09a6-7659-bae5-5abde85b1f0e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/esteemiron.shop crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.esteemiron.shop Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=esteemiron.shop AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/esteemiron.shop URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/esteemiron.shop/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 22:50:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, esteemiron.shop, is identified as a generic phishing site designed to harvest user credentials or distribute malicious payloads. Phishing domains of this nature typically mimic legitimate services, tricking visitors into entering sensitive information such as login credentials, financial details, or personal data. The site may also host exploit kits or redirect users to other compromised infrastructure, increasing the risk of further compromise. Analysis indicates this domain is part of a broader campaign targeting unsuspecting users through deceptive emails, fake advertisements, or social engineering tactics. Infrastructure analysis reveals esteemiron.shop was registered on June 12, 2026, an unusually recent creation date that aligns with common phishing domain lifecycle patterns. The domain is flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including detections for phishing and malicious content. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and appears on one security blocklist, further confirming its association with malicious activity. The site employs Cloudflare for hosting and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which, while providing encryption, does not validate the legitimacy of the domain. The page title, 'esteemiron.shop | 523: Origin is unreachable,' suggests the site may have been taken offline or is experiencing backend issues, though this does not eliminate the risk posed by cached or archived versions. If you visited esteemiron.shop or interacted with its content, immediate action is required to mitigate potential risks. First, disconnect the affected device from the network to prevent further data exfiltration or lateral movement. Run a full scan using updated antivirus or endpoint detection tools to identify and remove any malware or persistent threats. Reset credentials for any accounts accessed while the device was compromised, prioritizing email, financial, and administrative accounts. Monitor these accounts for unauthorized activity and enable multi-factor authentication where possible. If sensitive data was entered, consider reporting the incident to relevant authorities or identity protection services. Finally, review network logs for connections to 188.114.96.3 or related domains to assess the scope of exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 7b011e70fe1ff683d7609ac0355faaf103edf1d151afba37ff906d139c4bbad3 ## 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/esteemiron.shop/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=esteemiron.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
