# PhishDestroy threat dossier — grupocaceres.mx ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-17 15:53:20 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/grupocaceres.mx/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 97/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CRDF, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 3 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 161.35.124.162 (US, North Bergen) ASN: AS14061 DigitalOcean, LLC Hosting org: DigitalOcean, LLC Registrar: NEUBOX Internet SA de CV Nameservers: ns1.digitalocean.com, ns2.digitalocean.com, ns3.digitalocean.com Registered: 2026-06-15 Expires: 2026-11-16 HTTP response: 500 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-08-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 650a9fb46266e7995e10d7228af4846ce08842b5b76679cb2d245915836cbbb6 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - mail.grupocaceres.mx - www.grupocaceres.mx ## 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: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-15 02:21:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 15:52:10 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-17 16:20:46 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-15 02:21:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecae2-b947-7519-bcaa-88d13f222480/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/53c3b50d-bbe7-4986-b0a5-ab51dc54528d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/grupocaceres.mx crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.grupocaceres.mx Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=grupocaceres.mx AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/grupocaceres.mx URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/grupocaceres.mx/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 21:05:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, grupocaceres.mx, is identified as a fake login portal designed to harvest user credentials through deceptive authentication interfaces. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate login pages, likely targeting corporate or financial service users to capture usernames, passwords, and session tokens. The threat leverages social engineering tactics, as confirmed by Google Safe Browsing’s SOCIAL_ENGINEERING classification, to trick victims into submitting sensitive information under false pretenses. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-confidence indicators of compromise. The domain is flagged by 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, appears on 2 independent blocklists, and is referenced in 3 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses. It was registered on June 15, 2026, through NEUBOX Internet SA de CV, a registrar frequently associated with malicious domains. The domain resolves to the IP address 161.35.124.162 and uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which, while providing encryption, does not validate legitimacy. Current status shows the domain has been taken offline, though residual risk remains for users who interacted with it prior to deactivation. Users who visited grupocaceres.mx or entered credentials on the site should immediately revoke any active sessions tied to the account, reset passwords using a secure device, and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Monitor linked accounts for unauthorized transactions or access attempts, particularly financial or email services. If corporate credentials were exposed, report the incident to internal security teams for further investigation. The domain’s creation date (June 15, 2026) suggests it was operational for a limited period, but all interactions during its active phase should be treated as compromised. Network administrators are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP (161.35.124.162) at the perimeter to prevent further exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-C6403B Favicon MD5: 9cfcf8ee3fc89b99782c3b900d603256 TLS cert SHA-256: 650a9fb46266e7995e10d7228af4846ce08842b5b76679cb2d245915836cbbb6 ## 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/grupocaceres.mx/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=grupocaceres.mx 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.
