# PhishDestroy threat dossier — info018.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 14:10:07 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/info018.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 57/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.73.216 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS202412 Omegatech LTD 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: ns3.my-ndns.com, ns4.my-ndns.com Registered: 2026-06-26 Expires: 2027-06-26 Page title: Nur einen Moment… HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Plesk / Plesk Expires: 2027-06-03 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: bff69bec8127be819a6fa6d659d1f9f5f96852287332080ea2a6595b88cf27db ## 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: 2026-06-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 05:46:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-02 12:20:39 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1bc8-d977-700d-8e44-f3440171e7b2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/info018.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.info018.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=info018.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/info018.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/info018.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 06:00:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an active credential theft infrastructure, designed to harvest user login credentials through deceptive landing pages. Analysis indicates a targeted approach, likely impersonating legitimate services to trick victims into submitting sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and multi-factor authentication codes. The domain currently presents a high-risk profile despite its under_investigation status, as it remains operational and undetected by most security mechanisms. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain info018.com resolves to IP address 178.16.52.115 and was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on June 26, 2026. VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 engines, indicating no current flagging by major security vendors. No entries exist on public blocklists, and trust scores remain neutral due to the absence of prior malicious associations. The domain’s creation date suggests it may be part of a newly deployed campaign, reducing the likelihood of prior detection. To mitigate risks associated with credential theft domains like info018.com, organizations and individuals should implement the following measures. First, block the domain and its resolving IP (178.16.52.115) at the network perimeter using firewalls or DNS filtering. Second, deploy endpoint protection capable of detecting behavioral anomalies, such as unexpected credential submission to untrusted domains. Third, enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) across all accounts to reduce the impact of credential compromise. Finally, conduct user awareness training to recognize phishing tactics, particularly those involving fake login portals or urgent account verification requests. Monitoring for unusual authentication attempts linked to this infrastructure is recommended for affected entities. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: e1c265e396aaff08d62f53380aa12bed TLS cert SHA-256: bff69bec8127be819a6fa6d659d1f9f5f96852287332080ea2a6595b88cf27db ## 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/info018.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=info018.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.
