# PhishDestroy threat dossier — icbc.safedrivingez.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 01:53:26 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/icbc.safedrivingez.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 56/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 10/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 43.166.224.190 (US, Ashburn) ASN: AS132203 Tencent Building, Kejizhongyi Avenue Hosting org: Aceville Pte.ltd 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. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/namesilo-killed-our-twitter https://phishdestroy.io/xmrwallet-namesilo-exposed Nameservers: ["ns1.dnsowl.com", "ns2.dnsowl.com", "ns3.dnsowl.com"] Registered: 2026-06-12 ## 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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-12 22:30:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 00:14:22 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 21:57:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, icbc.safedrivingez.cc, operates as a fake banking portal designed to harvest login credentials from unsuspecting users. Analysis indicates the site mimics the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) interface, presenting users with a fraudulent login page that captures entered usernames and passwords. Such credential theft schemes are commonly used to gain unauthorized access to financial accounts, leading to potential fraud, identity theft, or direct monetary loss. The targeted nature of this impersonation suggests a focus on ICBC customers, increasing the risk for individuals who may mistake the site for the legitimate banking platform. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators confirming the malicious nature of this domain. The domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, a registrar frequently associated with abusive registrations. It resolves to the IP address 43.166.224.190, which has been flagged in one security blocklist. Detection engines further corroborate the threat, with 10 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal identifying the domain as malicious. The combination of a recent registration date, a known registrar, and cross-engine detection underscores the elevated risk posed by this infrastructure. Users who visited icbc.safedrivingez.cc should take immediate action to mitigate potential harm. First, avoid entering any credentials or personal information on the site. If login details were already submitted, users should change their passwords for the legitimate ICBC platform and any other accounts where the same credentials may have been reused. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all financial and sensitive accounts to add an additional layer of security. Monitor bank statements and account activity for unauthorized transactions, and report any suspicious activity to the financial institution. Additionally, consider running a security scan on devices used to access the site to detect potential malware or unauthorized access tools. ## 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/icbc.safedrivingez.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=icbc.safedrivingez.cc 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.
