# PhishDestroy threat dossier — facialrecogtech.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 03:49:05 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/facialrecogtech.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 191.96.56.222 (US, Phoenix) ASN: ASAS47583 AS-HOSTINGER Hostinger International Limited, CY Hosting org: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Registrar: Spaceship, Inc. Nameservers: arely.ns.cloudflare.com, quentin.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-03-09 Expires: 2027-03-09 Page title: facialrecogtech.com HTTP response: 502 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-08-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4cf5b89eb96fa93df08947f45f0550a2d01e924f00214d1395846b0347beceb9 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.facialrecogtech.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: 2026-03-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-30 19:32:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-30 21:49:04 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 05:47:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 00:02:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1995-77fb-719e-853c-f85cda24ab2a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/87aaa4b0-315b-4eb3-b45c-602dd300f0ca Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/facialrecogtech.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.facialrecogtech.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=facialrecogtech.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/facialrecogtech.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/facialrecogtech.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-30 19:36:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, facialrecogtech.com, is flagged as an active credential harvesting page targeting users of biometric authentication and facial recognition technology platforms. Analysis indicates the site employs generic phishing techniques to solicit login credentials, likely for subsequent unauthorized access to corporate or personal accounts. No specific brand impersonation is confirmed, though the domain name and page content suggest an attempt to exploit trust in biometric security solutions. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on March 9, 2026, through Spaceship, Inc., and currently resolves to the IP address 191.96.56.222. Detection metrics show a VirusTotal score of 1/95 security vendors, indicating limited but present identification of malicious activity. The domain utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy to phishing pages. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) flags or additional blocklist entries are reported at this time, though the single vendor detection underscores the need for heightened scrutiny. As of the latest verification, facialrecogtech.com remains active and unresolved by the registrar or hosting provider. No takedown actions have been observed, and the domain continues to resolve without interruption. The remaining risk is classified as high due to the targeted nature of the phishing content and the potential for credential compromise. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain at the network level, monitor for credential reuse attempts, and educate users on recognizing phishing indicators such as mismatched SSL certificates, suspicious domain registration dates, and unsolicited authentication requests. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260630-C8F031 Favicon MD5: f796ec222423b833236ab8a7d3744a11 TLS cert SHA-256: 4cf5b89eb96fa93df08947f45f0550a2d01e924f00214d1395846b0347beceb9 ## 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/facialrecogtech.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=facialrecogtech.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
