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: 2025-09-14 (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: 2025-09-20 17:10:23 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-01 04:41:22 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019968bf-acc6-7729-b7ff-e730128d551c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/forgefinancecc.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.forgefinancecc.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=forgefinancecc.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/forgefinancecc.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/forgefinancecc.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 02:25:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies forgefinancecc.online as a medium-risk brand impersonation domain targeting generic banking users. The site presented itself as "Forgefinancecc - All in one banking system," aiming to exploit trust by mimicking legitimate digital banking platforms. This tactic is commonly used to deceive users into divulging sensitive financial information. Technical analysis reveals that the domain was registered through Global Domain Group LLC and resolved to IP address 163.61.188.89. It was detected in one AlienVault OTX threat pulse and appeared on a known security blocklist. Google Safe Browsing flagged the domain for social engineering, and VirusTotal scans showed multiple security vendors identifying it as malicious. The domain, created in September 2025, leveraged these indicators to perpetrate phishing attacks against banking customers. Currently, forgefinancecc.online is offline, reducing immediate risk. However, users should remain vigilant against similar brand impersonation attempts. It is recommended to avoid clicking suspicious links, verify URLs carefully before entering credentials, and use security solutions that detect phishing domains. Continuous monitoring of threat intelligence feeds can help prevent exposure to such fraudulent sites. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 53f7eaccc5cabff8999753b23d2e2aab91a4fa445707494f4ce0d0af103fa211 ## 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/forgefinancecc.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=forgefinancecc.online 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.
