Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] fern-76.com Generic Phishing Site This domain, fern-76.com, was registered on 2026-06-09 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and currently resolves to 172.67.166.65, hosted behind Cloudflare name servers benedict.ns.cloudflare.com and liberty.ns.cloudflare.com. The site returns an HTTP 520 error indicating an unknown server condition, and no landing page content has been observed. The domain appears on a single security blocklist (PhishDestroy) and is flagged by four of ninety‑five VirusTotal scanners, indicating partial detection. Its risk level is assessed as high and the campaign remains active as of the report date, July 20, 2026. The limited infrastructure footprint suggests a short‑lived phishing operation, but the use of Cloudflare obscures the underlying host. Defenders should block the domain at the DNS level, monitor outbound connections to the associated IP address, and include it in email gateway deny lists. Continued observation is advised to capture any payload or credential‑stealing endpoints that may appear if the site becomes operational. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260720-1FA934 TLS cert SHA-256: ef749c80d57cf39776fdaaf7036d19817209a1b85d9aa43714af460f7b3d4a67 ## 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/fern-76.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fern-76.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.
