No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2018-02-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-08 17:12:55 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-08 19:50:03 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e07ec-82e8-70d9-b769-1a6daa950214/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/helpnets.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.helpnets.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=helpnets.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/helpnets.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/helpnets.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-08 17:13:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies helpnets.info as an active credential theft domain designed to deceive users into submitting login credentials or sensitive information. This domain mimics legitimate support or service portals, tricking victims into exposing their credentials, which are then harvested by threat actors for account takeovers, financial fraud, or further exploitation. The domain leverages social engineering tactics, such as urgency or impersonation, to increase the likelihood of user interaction. Systems interacting with this domain risk unauthorized access to personal or corporate accounts, leading to data breaches or financial loss. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with elevated risk due to its confirmed malicious activity. Intelligence shows it was registered through Cloudflare, Inc on February 12, 2018, and currently resolves to IP address 172.67.69.176. Security assessments reveal it is detected by 13 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and appears on 2 active blocklists, including OpenPhish and PhishingDB. The domain holds an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend false legitimacy to its fraudulent activities. Its longevity since 2018 suggests persistent or recurring use in credential theft campaigns. If you or your organization have visited helpnets.info or entered any credentials or sensitive information, immediately change all related passwords and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) where available. Scan all connected devices for malware using updated antivirus tools. Report the incident to your IT security team and consider revoking any sessions initiated from unrecognized locations. Block this domain at your network firewall and DNS level to prevent further access. Stay vigilant for follow-up phishing attempts leveraging exposed credentials. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: e24055f169152a4bcc5c28bac5dc576fa02bd3c2a4ec29f94b8a765591e79cac ## 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 (volunteer 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/helpnets.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=helpnets.info 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
