# PhishDestroy threat dossier — honeyclusterx.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-05 23:49:22 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/honeyclusterx.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 73/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.131.98 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: hope.ns.cloudflare.com, sage.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-16 Expires: 2027-06-16 Page title: HoneyclusterX × RLUSD — Allocation & Claim Portal ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-14 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 90f4ef76f5744679b6a8ad82c38e26ad3cb4cc1765a5346c1a4212bb37c039cc ## 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: 2026-06-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-20 21:42:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-06 00:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-21 12:19:18 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ee68d-3efa-727f-801a-17e7402b0875/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/honeyclusterx.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.honeyclusterx.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=honeyclusterx.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/honeyclusterx.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/honeyclusterx.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:27:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] honeyclusterx.com operates as a phishing portal under the guise of an 'Allocation & Claim Portal'. Despite being offline now, it was detected by PhishDestroy during its early stages, with 0 of 91 VirusTotal detections, highlighting its freshness and potential risk during the pre-propagation window. This domain exploits the typical 24-72 hour gap between registration and antivirus database updates, allowing it to target users before being flagged by traditional security measures. The domain was registered with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and hosted on an IP managed by Cloudflare, Inc. in the US. The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services, adding a layer of deceptive legitimacy to the operation. The platform risk score of 58/100 indicates a moderate threat level, suggesting the potential for significant harm if the site had remained active. The page title 'HoneyclusterX × RLUSD — Allocation & Claim Portal' suggests a financial scam aimed at tricking users into providing sensitive information under the pretense of claiming funds. The domain is now included in one public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's, which underscores the importance of early detection in mitigating phishing threats. The takedown of honeyclusterx.com prevents further exploitation, but its initial activity serves as a reminder of the need for continuous monitoring and rapid response to emerging threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: a10548ace5cccb74638d0137fbea9bd6 TLS cert SHA-256: 90f4ef76f5744679b6a8ad82c38e26ad3cb4cc1765a5346c1a4212bb37c039cc ## 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/honeyclusterx.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=honeyclusterx.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.
