facetpunch.com: Confirmed Phishing Site

As of July 22, 2026, the domain facetpunch.com is confirmed to be a phishing site. This domain was registered on July 11, 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, indicating a relatively recent creation which is often a red flag for phishing activities. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and utilizes Cloudflare nameservers (james.ns.cloudflare.com, magdalena.ns.cloudflare.com), which are commonly associated with both legitimate and malicious sites.

Analysis indicates that the domain appears on one security blocklist, further corroborating its malicious nature. Additionally, the domain is blocked by PhishDestroy, a known security solution that identifies and mitigates phishing threats. While the exact content of the site has not been analyzed, the combination of its recent registration, presence on a blocklist, and being flagged by multiple security vendors suggests that it is actively being used for phishing operations.

Defenders are advised to block this domain at the network and endpoint levels, and to monitor for any related activities or indicators of compromise. Security teams should also educate users about the risks of visiting untrusted or recently registered domains to prevent phishing attacks.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260722-0A9497
Favicon MD5:       5c25e74d94f308706a2fa519ead8891f
TLS cert SHA-256:      92be001763bacabd05d0516849efe9b7148920a6f404dfef647b396f041dd565

## 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.
