Registrar: Name.com, Inc. Nameservers: joel.ns.cloudflare.com, tani.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2021-07-18 Expires: 2027-07-18 Page title: 404: This page could not be found.

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: 2021-07-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-21 07:14:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-21 05:17:30 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-22 04:20:18 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-21 12:28:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f8317-cd6e-752b-a639-c1c88683658e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6908b808-3ad5-4486-9614-62fc8bb1cc7d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hgfedcbghfuvnotexists3216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hgfedcbghfuvnotexists3216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hgfedcbghfuvnotexists3216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hgfedcbghfuvnotexists3216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hgfedcbghfuvnotexists3216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-21 07:14:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] acquency.com generic phishing campaign detected Analysis of the domain hgfedcbghfuvnotexists3216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.com indicates that it was registered on July 18 2021 through Name.com, Inc. The authoritative nameservers joel.ns.cloudflare.com and tani.ns.cloudflare.com point to Cloudflare hosting, and DNS resolution returns the IP address 188.114.96.3, a Cloudflare edge node. The domain is currently listed as active and appears on a single security blocklist, where it has been flagged by PhishDestroy. A VirusTotal scan involving 95 anti‑malware vendors yielded no detections at the time of analysis; while the lack of detections does not imply benign intent, it suggests that existing signatures have not yet identified the payload associated with this host. No additional intelligence such as Safe Browsing, OTX, SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page‑title metadata is available, leaving the exact phishing content and targeted brand unconfirmed. The combination of a relatively old registration date, use of reputable DNS providers, and presence on a blocklist is consistent with infrastructure patterns observed in generic phishing campaigns that rely on trusted hosting to evade simple reputation checks. Defenders should consider adding the full domain to network‑level deny lists, monitoring DNS queries for the associated IP, and employing URL‑filtering solutions that reference the observed blocklist entry. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑vendor services is advised to capture any future detection updates, and any observed traffic should be logged for correlation with credential‑dumping or credential‑phishing incidents. Until further content analysis is performed, the domain remains classified as a generic phishing threat under investigation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260721-59499A Favicon MD5: d9d065ac629140fe72275d2ac8ea55d4 TLS cert SHA-256: e1bb758050f1b5b7264f00721ccd745db6fc0573d8314a65ddc9e0c841587baf ## 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/hgfedcbghfuvnotexists3216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hgfedcbghfuvnotexists3216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.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.
