No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-16 15:43:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-16 18:00:15 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f6b2a-a2c6-735e-a947-5e73ba70e5ef/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ferro-protocol.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ferro-protocol.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ferro-protocol.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ferro-protocol.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ferro-protocol.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-16 16:00:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis of ferro-protocol.net indicates it is actively leveraged for a high‑risk generic phishing campaign. The domain was registered on April 14, 2026 and resolves to the IPv4 address 144.31.215.70. Registration details list Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com as the registrant, and the domain relies on DNSpod name servers (a.dnspod.com, b.dnspod.com, c.dnspod.com). VirusTotal scans show that four of ninety‑one security vendors have flagged the domain, suggesting at least partial detection of malicious activity. The infrastructure remains live as of the report date, July 16, 2026. No additional technical artifacts such as payload hashes, landing‑page content, or associated command‑and‑control endpoints have been disclosed, leaving the full scope of the phishing operation uncertain. Defenders should prioritize blocking ferro-protocol.net and its resolved IP address at perimeter firewalls and DNS filtering layers. Continuous monitoring of outbound traffic to 144.31.215.70 is advised, and any email or web traffic that references the domain should be quarantined for further analysis. Security teams should also update indicator‑of‑compromise (IOC) feeds with the domain, IP, and registrar information to enhance detection across endpoint and network sensors. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: ee51a29a3213f2bca54cf7507b9e66e8621f1c0ff210b8a60d1d5c2bbd2d0f67 ## 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/ferro-protocol.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ferro-protocol.net 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.
