# PhishDestroy threat dossier — glary-utilities.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 18:18:34 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/glary-utilities.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 86/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 15/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, ESTsecurity, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Viettel Threat Intelligence AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.220.126 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: james.ns.cloudflare.com, kehlani.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-09-01 Expires: 2027-09-01 Page title: Glary Utilities Pro - Free PC Optimizer & Registry Cleaner HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE2 Expires: 2026-09-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8abff5ef6129c55bd6f0bfd5a6980d106e4e3005f2b0c1ef3933ae09216f15d9 ## 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: 2025-09-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-02 14:50:55 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-04 16:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-03 03:02:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f22e0-d45f-718f-a7fb-f5facfcd05fb/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/glary-utilities.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.glary-utilities.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=glary-utilities.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/glary-utilities.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/glary-utilities.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-02 15:01:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain presents a confirmed fraudulent software distribution portal designed to deceive users into downloading potentially malicious executables under the guise of legitimate system optimization tools. Analysis indicates the site mimics the branding and interface of a well-known utility suite, leveraging social engineering tactics to persuade visitors to install unauthorized or tampered software packages. The threat extends beyond mere deception, as downloaded binaries may contain unauthorized modifications, including backdoors, spyware, or ransomware payloads, compromising system integrity and user privacy. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain glary-utilities.com was registered on September 01, 2025, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. The site resolves to the IP address 104.21.24.201, which operates under a content delivery network, obscuring its true origin and complicating takedown efforts. As of the latest assessment, the domain remains undetected by antivirus engines, with VirusTotal reporting 0/95 detections, indicating either recent deployment or evasion techniques. No entries were found on major blocklists, suggesting the campaign is either in its early stages or actively avoiding detection through low-volume distribution. Users who have visited glary-utilities.com or downloaded files from the site should immediately disconnect the affected system from networks to prevent lateral movement of potential malware. A full system scan should be conducted using updated security tools to identify and remove any unauthorized software. If credentials or payment information were entered on the site, affected parties should rotate all exposed credentials and monitor financial accounts for unauthorized activity. System administrators are advised to block the domain and associated IP address (104.21.24.201) at the network perimeter to prevent further exposure. Given the domain's recent registration and lack of detection, this campaign may escalate, warranting proactive monitoring of related infrastructure. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 15/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 2376e90e5e911f9797dbf45e39aa8123 TLS cert SHA-256: 8abff5ef6129c55bd6f0bfd5a6980d106e4e3005f2b0c1ef3933ae09216f15d9 ## 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/glary-utilities.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=glary-utilities.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
