No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-16 13:09:36 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-16 15:00:13 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f6a9c-c40d-73d9-a3b7-c07e21682102/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/governance-apyxfi.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.governance-apyxfi.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=governance-apyxfi.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/governance-apyxfi.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/governance-apyxfi.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-16 13:20:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain governance-apyxfi.app was registered on July 14, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently active. DNS resolution points to the single IPv4 address 196.251.107.102, and the authoritative name servers are listed as coco.bunny.net and kiki.bunny.net. VirusTotal scans have yielded detections from 2 of 91 security vendors, indicating that at least a minority of AV engines flag the domain as malicious. No additional public intelligence – such as observed phishing pages, compromised credentials, or victim reports – is available at this time. The short registration window, coupled with the early detection by multiple AV engines, suggests a high likelihood that the domain is being used for generic phishing operations. Defenders should treat the domain as high‑risk: block DNS resolution and any outbound connections to the listed IP, add the domain to URL filtering and email threat lists, and monitor network traffic for attempts to contact the host. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised as further evidence (e.g., payload samples or victim reports) may emerge. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 0bc1bf18443978236ea5dde28d66abde0a131df607be0e3c8c661a799cf9045d ## 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/governance-apyxfi.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=governance-apyxfi.app 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.
