# PhishDestroy threat dossier — europe-north.erwanewsi.top ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 13:48:14 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/europe-north.erwanewsi.top/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 48/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/namesilo-killed-our-twitter https://phishdestroy.io/xmrwallet-namesilo-exposed Nameservers: galilea.ns.cloudflare.com, glen.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-03 Expires: 2027-07-03 HTTP response: 502 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-07-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 16:24:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 12:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f37d0-799e-72ed-8f54-e0facd0a3f34/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/europe-north.erwanewsi.top crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.europe-north.erwanewsi.top Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=europe-north.erwanewsi.top AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/europe-north.erwanewsi.top URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/europe-north.erwanewsi.top/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 16:36:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, europe-north.erwanewsi.top, is currently under investigation for operating as a fake news portal phishing site. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate news aggregation services, potentially deceiving users into disclosing personal information or interacting with malicious content under the guise of credible reporting. No specific brand impersonation has been confirmed at this stage, but the domain's structure and naming convention suggest intent to exploit trust in regional news sources. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 03, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and currently holds an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. As of the latest assessment, the domain has not been flagged by any of the 95 vendors monitored by VirusTotal, indicating either recent deployment or effective evasion of detection mechanisms. No blocklist entries or trust score deviations have been recorded, though this absence of alerts does not preclude malicious intent. The domain remains active and unresponsive to takedown requests at this time. Organizations and users are advised to implement proactive measures, including DNS-level blocking of the domain and its associated IP address. Network administrators should monitor for connections to 188.114.96.3 and inspect SSL certificates for anomalies tied to Google Trust Services. End-users should be educated to verify news sources independently and avoid interacting with unsolicited links, particularly those mimicking regional news portals. Further investigation is ongoing to determine the full scope of the threat and potential victim profiles. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed ## 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/europe-north.erwanewsi.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=europe-north.erwanewsi.top 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.
