# PhishDestroy threat dossier — federal-evportal.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 02:36:08 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/federal-evportal.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 79/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["aurora.ns.cloudflare.com", "kyree.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-01 Page title: Secure Evidence Exchange Portal ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-26 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: db2f160018e9b9bd3eafee1dbc1548df1403cd17a1cde447c29f764ae4b869f3 ## 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: 2026-05-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-01 17:36:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-01 17:34:43 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 04:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-01 23:11:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019de3f4-c544-743e-ae1f-5751716e9a5d/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/federal-evportal.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.federal-evportal.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=federal-evportal.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/federal-evportal.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/federal-evportal.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-01 17:36:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies federal-evportal.org as an active phishing portal designed to impersonate legitimate government electronic visa systems. This domain was flagged under seed 947786 for hosting deceptive content aimed at harvesting sensitive user credentials under the guise of official federal services. Upon creation on April 27, 2026—an unusually recent registration for such portals—this site leverages the trusted branding of visa and ev portal services to deceive visitors into surrendering personal or financial information. The domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3, a hosting service historically associated with low oversight and high abuse potential, enabling rapid deployment and evasion of detection systems. This domain poses a specific threat through its highly targeted impersonation of official federal electronic visa portals, exploiting user trust in government digital services. Evidence supporting its malicious nature includes zero detections on VirusTotal (3/95 scanners), registration through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED—a registrar known for lax oversight—and its extremely recent domain creation date of April 27, 2026, which is atypically new for established phishing campaigns. These indicators collectively suggest an evolving threat that has not yet been widely recognized by security systems, increasing the risk of successful exploitation. Users who have visited federal-evportal.org should avoid entering any personal, financial, or credential information on the site. If credentials or sensitive data were entered, immediately change passwords across all accounts, enable multi-factor authentication where possible, and monitor financial statements for unauthorized activity. Report the domain to your organization’s security team or to national cybercrime reporting centers such as the FBI’s IC3 (www.ic3.gov) or CISA’s reporting portal. Block the domain and its associated IP (188.114.96.3) at the network level to prevent further access. Remain vigilant for follow-on phishing attempts exploiting this breach of trust. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: db2f160018e9b9bd3eafee1dbc1548df1403cd17a1cde447c29f764ae4b869f3 ## 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/federal-evportal.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=federal-evportal.org 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.
