# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hzeng.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-26 15:41:26 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hzeng.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 45/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.65.235.97 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: a.share-dns.com, a9.share-dns.com, b.share-dns.net, b9.share-dns.net Registered: 2013-10-16 Expires: 2027-10-16 Page title: fen327.cc | 522: Connection timed out HTTP response: 503 ## 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: 2013-10-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-22 19:53:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-22 17:56:25 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-26 16:20:28 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-23 00:27:27 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f8af4-92dd-7360-ad20-9c59c952696e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/26b76d7c-fe4e-4f82-a7bd-a0cc7b99250f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hzeng.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hzeng.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hzeng.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hzeng.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hzeng.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-22 19:53:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] hzeng.net — Generic Phishing Investigation This domain, hzeng.net, was registered on 16 October 2013 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and currently resolves to the IPv4 address 172.65.235.97. The authoritative name servers are a.share-dns.com, a9.share-dns.com, b.share-dns.net, and b9.share-dns.net, which are typical of shared DNS services used by many malicious operators. The domain is listed on a single public security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, indicating that at least one reputable anti‑phishing consortium has observed malicious activity associated with it. VirusTotal records show that the domain has been scanned by 95 AV engines, yet none have raised a detection; this absence of a flag should not be interpreted as a safety signal, especially given the other indicators of abuse. No public analysis of the website’s page title, SSL certificate, or HTTP response is available, and no specific phishing kit or targeted brand has been disclosed. Consequently, the exact content and the victim‑targeting methodology remain uncertain. However, the combination of a long‑standing registration, shared‑DNS infrastructure, and inclusion on a phishing blocklist provides sufficient evidence for a defensive posture. Defenders should add hzeng.net to DNS‑based deny‑lists and URL filtering rules, monitor outbound connections to 172.65.235.97 for potential command‑and‑control traffic, and consider sinkholing the IP range if feasible. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as future changes to the site’s content or hosting could increase its threat profile. Logging of DNS queries for this domain and periodic re‑scans with sandbox tools are recommended to capture any evolution in payload or technique. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260722-2E11E2 ## 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/hzeng.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hzeng.net 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.
