# PhishDestroy threat dossier — huobi202.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 06:22:20 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/huobi202.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- ACTIVE + CLOAKED — returns HTTP 666 to scanners, real fraudulent site to victims Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: HTX Cloaking: DETECTED — domain returns custom HTTP 666 to scanners while serving fraudulent content to real users (type: content_divergence) (score: 1/6) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Emsisoft, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Netcraft AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-02 20:40:21 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-03 08:20:35 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2420-f327-74ad-84ef-89262c8b705a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/huobi202.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.huobi202.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=huobi202.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/huobi202.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/huobi202.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-02 20:45:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain represents an active brand impersonation threat directed at HTX. Infrastructure analysis reveals a site configured to mimic the legitimate exchange interface while operating from non-affiliated hosting resources. The combination of recent registration and IP resolution to shared infrastructure indicates potential for credential harvesting or redirection attacks targeting users of the impersonated brand. Detection data includes a VirusTotal score of 0/95 with no prior flags. The domain was created on July 01, 2026 and registered through NameSilo, LLC. It currently resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and presents an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. These indicators collectively establish the domain as under active investigation for impersonation activity despite the absence of widespread malware signatures. Users who accessed the domain should immediately change any credentials entered, enable multi-factor authentication on associated accounts, and monitor transaction logs for unauthorized activity. Network administrators are advised to block the IP 188.114.96.3 and the domain huobi202.com at the firewall level. Ongoing observation of similar newly registered domains remains necessary given the future creation date and registrar patterns observed. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 6/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 13b0de9a21ab882f23c126e394e437b1 ## 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/huobi202.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=huobi202.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.
