Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] fern16.com: Confirmed Phishing Site Detected Analysis of the domain fern16.com indicates it is currently active and classified as a high-risk phishing threat. The domain was created on June 10, 2026, and it resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. It is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and utilizes Cloudflare's nameservers, which are dana.ns.cloudflare.com and everton.ns.cloudflare.com. The domain has been flagged by three out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a recognition of its malicious intent. Furthermore, it is actively listed on one security blocklist and has been blocked by PhishDestroy, reinforcing its status as a phishing site. Given these indicators, it is advised that users avoid engaging with this domain and that organizations implement necessary measures to block access to it within their networks. Continuous monitoring and reporting of this domain's activities should be conducted to mitigate potential threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260720-E035DA TLS cert SHA-256: 75364460c46d15fdf6806ea0b819e8cba6480eeac423899ed572e8505cbe00d3 ## 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/fern16.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fern16.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.
