# PhishDestroy threat dossier — financeprimes.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-30 12:16:33 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/financeprimes.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 70/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: mastercard ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 12/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, Lionic, Seclookup, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 107.173.193.235 (US, Buffalo) ASN: ASAS36352 AS-COLOCROSSING, US Hosting org: AS36352 HostPapa Registrar: Web Commerce Communications Limited Nameservers: ns1.bthostcloud.com, ns2.bthostcloud.com Registered: 2025-07-12 Expires: 2026-07-12 Page title: Financeprimes HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2025-07-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-08-09 15:07:23 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-30 09:37:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01989003-e5a7-75a4-ac14-eb773f526600/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/financeprimes.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.financeprimes.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=financeprimes.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/financeprimes.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/financeprimes.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 02:17:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies financeprimes.com as a high-risk generic phishing domain targeting users with potentially deceptive financial content. The site was flagged due to its attempt to impersonate legitimate financial services, aiming to steal sensitive personal and financial information from unsuspecting visitors. The domain financeprimes.com was registered recently through WEBCC and resolves to the IP address 107.173.193.235. It was detected by multiple security vendors and appears on at least one security blocklist, signaling a consensus on its malicious intent. The domain hosted a page titled "Financeprimes," which likely served as a lure for phishing attacks. Currently, financeprimes.com has been taken offline, mitigating immediate risks to users. PhishDestroy recommends users remain vigilant and avoid interacting with similar suspicious financial domains. Users should regularly update security software and verify website legitimacy before submitting personal information to prevent phishing-related losses. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: b7ddcfb8f26fb1ce783dccae83d9058fa3efc336aa4fb69405b26e6fc10becdc ## 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 (volunteer 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/financeprimes.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=financeprimes.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
