# PhishDestroy threat dossier — heritageunionfb.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 17:06:25 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/heritageunionfb.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing Targeted brand: Facebook ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Netcraft URLQuery: 3 detections AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 163.61.188.2 (US, Staten Island) ASN: AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE Hosting org: MIT Registrar: TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown Nameservers: dns1.lytehosting.com, dns2.lytehosting.com, dns3.lytehosting.com, dns4.lytehosting.com Registered: 2026-01-21 Expires: 2027-01-21 Page title: Heritage Union Fb – Secured Online Bank for Everyone ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-08-18 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: d982247c14bc80ec1a62cf7528a3fe728731a24cc51e644ab6f52bcb7d9065c9 ## 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: 2026-01-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 04:03:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 02:21:03 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 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/019f1b69-d5b8-75f1-af57-16e66ff5b019/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/caf6ac42-8079-4406-87cb-988ca7728edc Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/heritageunionfb.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.heritageunionfb.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=heritageunionfb.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/heritageunionfb.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/heritageunionfb.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 04:04:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, heritageunionfb.com, is actively engaged in credential theft targeting users of Heritage Union Bank. Analysis confirms the site impersonates the financial institution's branding, including logos, color schemes, and the page title 'Heritage Union Fb – Secured Online Bank for Everyone,' to deceive visitors into submitting sensitive login credentials. The campaign remains operational as of the latest verification, posing a significant risk to individuals and organizations associated with the legitimate bank. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on January 21, 2026, through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, a registrar frequently observed in fraudulent registrations. The domain resolves to the IP address 163.61.188.2, which has been linked to prior phishing activity in independent threat intelligence reports. Detection metrics indicate limited but concerning visibility, with only 2 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging the domain as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy to fraudulent sites. No additional blocklist entries or trust scores were identified in public repositories at the time of analysis. The current status of heritageunionfb.com is active, with no indications of takedown or mitigation efforts. Users are strongly advised to avoid interaction with the domain and report it to their financial institution and relevant cybersecurity authorities. Organizations should implement network-level blocking of the IP address 163.61.188.2 and monitor for related domains registered through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown. End-users are reminded to verify the authenticity of banking portals by cross-referencing URLs with official communications and enabling multi-factor authentication to mitigate credential theft risks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-A47F6A Favicon MD5: 8771e0aa2ac1cb0f41f43f8b7ad420a4 TLS cert SHA-256: d982247c14bc80ec1a62cf7528a3fe728731a24cc51e644ab6f52bcb7d9065c9 ## 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/heritageunionfb.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=heritageunionfb.com 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.
