# PhishDestroy threat dossier — fixdll-helper.fit ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 20:19:59 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/fixdll-helper.fit/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 88/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.72.60 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NAMECHEAP INC Nameservers: jillian.ns.cloudflare.com, rick.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-23 Expires: 2027-06-23 Page title: The DLL that was not — Field Notes from the Loader HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8018436902b833ff45d90d3f41ba5e383be145f7b1ad5026a16aaf2ab6a7a33a ## 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: 2026-06-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-25 14:53:55 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-25 12:55:40 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 18:20:57 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efed7-446e-754e-b86b-1ccc3f420311/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e8441770-550d-4bb3-acd5-4cccd57ef7ee Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/fixdll-helper.fit crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.fixdll-helper.fit Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=fixdll-helper.fit AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/fixdll-helper.fit URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/fixdll-helper.fit/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 18:19:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, fixdll-helper.fit, is flagged as a high-risk phishing site targeting users seeking DLL repair tools. Analysis indicates no direct association with a specific brand, but the naming convention suggests impersonation of legitimate system utility software, likely to distribute malware or harvest credentials under the guise of fixing missing or corrupted DLL files. The domain does not appear linked to known drainer kits based on current intelligence, though further behavioral analysis is required to confirm payload delivery mechanisms. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain is detected by 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, registered through NAMECHEAP INC on June 23, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.). Google Safe Browsing categorizes it as phishing, and it appears on 3 security blocklists. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), which may lend a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. The domain's creation date is notably in the future (2026), suggesting either a typo-squatting attempt or an error in registration records, though this does not diminish its current malicious status. As of the latest assessment, fixdll-helper.fit remains active and unresolved. Response actions by security providers include blocking by multiple threat intelligence feeds, though the domain continues to resolve and may still pose a risk to users who bypass warnings. The remaining risk is classified as high due to its active status, phishing classification, and potential for malware distribution. Organizations are advised to block the domain at the DNS level, monitor for connections to 188.114.96.3, and educate users on recognizing fraudulent system utility sites. No legitimate software should be downloaded from this domain, and any existing installations should be treated as compromised. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260625-EB6C55 TLS cert SHA-256: 8018436902b833ff45d90d3f41ba5e383be145f7b1ad5026a16aaf2ab6a7a33a ## 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/fixdll-helper.fit/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fixdll-helper.fit 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.
