# PhishDestroy threat dossier — inetcontrol.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 07:01:54 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/inetcontrol.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 87/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 47.92.121.93 (CN, Beijing) ASN: AS37963 Hangzhou Alibaba Advertising Co.,Ltd. Hosting org: Aliyun Computing Co., LTD Registrar: Name.com, Inc. Nameservers: ns1cnb.name.com, ns2dfg.name.com, ns3cna.name.com, ns4dfh.name.com Registered: 2008-05-01 Expires: 2032-05-01 Page title: 萤火商城2.0 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: bf4b9a517a7158a4f5728d7469deee116d3d5463d2397e266af4214e8573cd1a Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - com.inetcontrol.net ## 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: 2008-05-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-27 18:29:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-27 16:31:58 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 08:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-28 00:01:28 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f09e8-a0aa-71b8-92b2-5a5cb8cd60ae/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a7a72765-5558-40a0-9a82-8a4b19729e9f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/inetcontrol.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.inetcontrol.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=inetcontrol.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/inetcontrol.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/inetcontrol.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-27 18:35:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain inetcontrol.net has been identified as a high-risk generic_phishing site. As of the latest assessment, the domain remains active and does not appear to be impersonating any specific brand. However, it is crucial to assess the potential impact of this domain as it could be used to gather sensitive information or distribute malwares. Analysis indicates that inetcontrol.net was created on May 01, 2008, and is registered through Name.com, Inc. The domain resolves to the IP address 47.92.121.93. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, which is a common choice for phishing sites due to its ease of acquisition. The domain is flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a potential threat. It has also been mentioned in 1 threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, further suggesting its involvement in malicious activities. The page title, '萤火商城2.0', is encoded in a non-standard format, which could be an attempt to evade detection or to target specific user demographics. The current status of inetcontrol.net is active, and it continues to pose a high risk. Security researchers and network administrators are advised to monitor traffic to and from this domain closely. Adding inetcontrol.net to firewall and DNS block lists can help mitigate potential threats. Additionally, users should be educated to recognize and avoid suspicious links and phishing attempts. Further investigation into the infrastructure and associated domains is recommended to uncover any broader network of malicious activity. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260627-C2B4EF Favicon MD5: a635919820532c5a1866766f69c0d1be TLS cert SHA-256: bf4b9a517a7158a4f5728d7469deee116d3d5463d2397e266af4214e8573cd1a ## 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/inetcontrol.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=inetcontrol.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
