# PhishDestroy threat dossier — governance-riverinc.app ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 12:13:39 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/governance-riverinc.app/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Sophos AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.198.88 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: cheryl.ns.cloudflare.com, clyde.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-30 Expires: 2027-06-30 Page title: RHEA Finance — Governance HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-28 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 1f75004b59fa93dd4fd5f60dbfeb8abc64b2d2cb6b37eb16c36af84814cfaad2 ## 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: 2026-06-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-02 15:12:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-02 13:30:58 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 12:20:36 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/019f22f4-bb0a-74e9-be0a-711bf0faa664/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e30660c4-fcb8-4717-ba12-f839850366d8 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/governance-riverinc.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.governance-riverinc.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=governance-riverinc.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/governance-riverinc.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/governance-riverinc.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-02 15:16:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, governance-riverinc.app, is currently under investigation for credential harvesting phishing targeting financial governance platforms. Analysis indicates a high-risk profile due to its mimicking of legitimate governance interfaces, specifically presenting a page titled 'RHEA Finance — Governance,' which aligns with common phishing tactics used to deceive users into disclosing sensitive credentials. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 172.67.198.88 and was registered on June 30, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. VirusTotal reports 0 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, suggesting it has not yet been widely detected by automated systems. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while providing encryption, does not validate the legitimacy of the site’s content. No blocklist entries or negative trust scores have been identified at this time, though the domain remains active and accessible. Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediate blocklisting of the domain and IP address within enterprise security gateways to prevent user access. Network administrators should monitor for connections to 172.67.198.88 and inspect SSL certificates for anomalies in the issuance chain. End-user education should emphasize verifying domain authenticity, particularly for financial governance portals, and reporting any suspicious login interfaces. Given the domain’s recent creation and lack of prior detections, proactive hunting for similar infrastructure patterns—such as newly registered domains with financial-themed page titles—is recommended to preempt further credential harvesting attempts. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260702-935420 TLS cert SHA-256: 1f75004b59fa93dd4fd5f60dbfeb8abc64b2d2cb6b37eb16c36af84814cfaad2 ## 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-riverinc.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=governance-riverinc.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.
