Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is geniusterminal.net a Phishing Site for Financial Fraud? Analysis of geniusterminal.net indicates a recently registered domain exhibiting characteristics consistent with phishing infrastructure. The domain was created on July 16, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently observed in malicious registrations. As of July 20, 2026, the domain remains active and resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3, hosted on Cloudflare nameservers luciane.ns.cloudflare.com and simon.ns.cloudflare.com, which are commonly used to obscure hosting origins. The domain appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, though it has not been flagged by any of the 95 vendors in the most recent VirusTotal scan. The absence of detections does not confirm safety, as phishing domains often evade initial scans during early deployment. Infrastructure analysis reveals no additional context regarding the specific brand or service being impersonated, as the exact content of the site has not been analyzed. The domain's registration recency, use of Cloudflare, and presence on a security blocklist suggest it may be part of a broader phishing campaign targeting financial or login credentials. Defenders are advised to monitor network traffic for connections to geniusterminal.net and 188.114.96.3, implement blocklist updates from PhishDestroy, and conduct further investigation to determine the domain's payload or lure mechanisms. Additional scrutiny of domains registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED during this period is recommended, as the registrar has been associated with elevated phishing activity. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 5802be3eff394767a2cc7f599a407b73 TLS cert SHA-256: da9405aa1232ad4e3697c3b28b3c22106fd944fc83cf9998370cdf3980af3b8b ## 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/geniusterminal.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=geniusterminal.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.
