# PhishDestroy threat dossier — helpers.ink ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 20:31:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/helpers.ink/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 47/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 2a01:8640:2:11::1420:7e4e (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: ASAS59711 HZ-EU-AS HZ Hosting Ltd, BG Hosting org: AS59711 HZ Hosting Ltd Registrar: NAMECHEAP INC Nameservers: dns1.registrar-servers.com, dns2.registrar-servers.com Registered: 2026-05-08 Expires: 2027-05-08 Page title: Возврат денег от нечестного брокера, нелегальной букмекерской конторы, казино или мошенника через чарджбэк HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 11dd6fbd2cfc95563930ede0d59d52ea9fa111e66d7fce1c4a9ddc97b2b7943c ## 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: 2026-05-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 10:34:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 20:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-06 12:02:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f3690-1fa1-76fe-a97a-096a4bfae436/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/helpers.ink crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.helpers.ink Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=helpers.ink AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/helpers.ink URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/helpers.ink/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 10:46:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, helpers.ink, is flagged as a credential harvesting phishing site targeting users through deceptive login interfaces. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate authentication portals, tricking visitors into submitting sensitive credentials such as usernames, passwords, and potentially multi-factor authentication codes. The domain's content is likely tailored to impersonate trusted services, increasing the risk of account compromise for unsuspecting users. Evidence supporting this assessment includes the domain's registration details and technical indicators. helpers.ink was registered on May 08, 2026, through NAMECHEAP INC, a registrar frequently associated with newly deployed phishing infrastructure. As of the latest scan, the domain has 0/95 detections on VirusTotal, indicating it has not yet been widely flagged by security vendors. It resolves to the IP address 185.81.114.128, hosted on an Nginx server, and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to present a false sense of legitimacy. No blocklist entries were identified at the time of analysis, suggesting the domain remains under the radar of many security systems. Users who have visited helpers.ink or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. First, reset passwords for any accounts accessed or entered on the domain, prioritizing accounts with elevated privileges or financial access. Enable multi-factor authentication if not already active, using app-based or hardware tokens rather than SMS-based methods. Monitor linked accounts for unauthorized activity, such as logins from unfamiliar locations or devices. If corporate credentials were exposed, report the incident to internal security teams for further investigation and containment. Additionally, consider scanning the device used to access the domain for malware or unauthorized modifications, as phishing sites may deploy secondary payloads. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f3565add6813964f123f4738a2530ba5 TLS cert SHA-256: 11dd6fbd2cfc95563930ede0d59d52ea9fa111e66d7fce1c4a9ddc97b2b7943c ## 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/helpers.ink/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=helpers.ink 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.
