# PhishDestroy threat dossier — grassdesktops.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 17:22:21 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/grassdesktops.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 97/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.220.204 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: 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: dax.ns.cloudflare.com, kay.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-28 Expires: 2027-06-28 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-26 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: f0b41ebde7b8eeeb8ae62f7a8095a593818d9c8acc774f3f0dfe24097b071431 ## 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: 2026-06-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 06:18:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 05:32:17 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 16:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1be5-3430-77b8-8283-728c1ee50224/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/868816aa-1069-42b3-b3e7-64735d1cafd3 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/grassdesktops.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.grassdesktops.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=grassdesktops.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/grassdesktops.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/grassdesktops.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 06:56:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, grassdesktops.live, is actively engaged in credential harvesting operations designed to impersonate legitimate cloud service login portals. Analysis indicates the site employs a deceptive 'Just a moment...' loading page, a common tactic to delay content rendering while evading automated security scanners. The infrastructure is configured to mimic enterprise authentication flows, likely targeting corporate users or individuals accessing cloud-based desktop solutions, with the intent to capture usernames, passwords, and multi-factor authentication tokens. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-risk indicators. The domain was registered on June 28, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with malicious domains. It resolves to IP address 172.67.220.204, which is part of a content delivery network often exploited to mask origin servers. Security vendor detection on VirusTotal stands at 1/95, with the single flag confirming phishing activity. Additionally, the domain appears in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, further validating its malicious classification. The SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services provides a false sense of legitimacy while enabling encrypted exfiltration of stolen credentials. Users who have visited grassdesktops.live or entered credentials on the site should immediately take corrective action. First, revoke any active sessions associated with the compromised account and reset passwords using a secure, unrelated device. Enable multi-factor authentication if not already active, preferably using an authenticator app rather than SMS-based methods. Monitor the account for unauthorized access or configuration changes, such as email forwarding rules or unfamiliar connected applications. Organizations should block the domain and IP address at the network perimeter and add the domain to endpoint protection exclusion lists. Security teams are advised to search logs for connections to 172.67.220.204 and review authentication attempts from the timeframe of exposure. Given the high-risk nature of this infrastructure, affected users should assume credential compromise and act accordingly. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-931D84 Favicon MD5: c7ab751305fab0231e6b98cfb4241aef TLS cert SHA-256: f0b41ebde7b8eeeb8ae62f7a8095a593818d9c8acc774f3f0dfe24097b071431 ## 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/grassdesktops.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=grassdesktops.live 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.
