# PhishDestroy threat dossier — intermediacom.us ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 12:43:53 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/intermediacom.us/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.18.42.74 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. 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.

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: 2026-04-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-30 19:26:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 12:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 00:02:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1990-1c98-7148-8414-410421c4f840/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/intermediacom.us crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.intermediacom.us Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=intermediacom.us AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/intermediacom.us URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/intermediacom.us/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-13 00:17:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, intermediacom.us, is actively flagged as high-risk phishing infrastructure impersonating Intermedia, a provider of unified communications and cloud services. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on April 23, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, and currently resolves to 104.18.42.74, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335). The site returns a 301 HTTP redirect, suggesting it may be part of a broader redirection chain used to funnel victims to credential harvesting or malware distribution endpoints. The page title explicitly references Intermedia's service offerings, including business email, cloud voice, and identity management, confirming the brand impersonation classification. MX records point to Google's mail servers, which may indicate an attempt to appear legitimate or facilitate email-based phishing campaigns. The domain is protected by a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (YE2), a common tactic to evade browser security warnings. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Cloudflare and Cloudflare Browser Insights, which may obscure the true origin of the phishing content and complicate takedown efforts. The domain appears on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by at least three vendors, including PhishDestroy and MetaMask, reinforcing its malicious classification. AlienVault OTX records the domain in one threat intelligence pulse, though further context on the specific campaign is not available. Defenders should prioritize blocking this domain at the DNS and network level, particularly in environments where Intermedia services are in use. The 301 redirect behavior warrants investigation to identify downstream infrastructure, as the final destination may host credential theft or malware payloads. Given the domain's recent registration and active status, monitoring for related domains or subdomains using similar naming conventions is recommended. No additional details on the phishing kit or exact payload are available at this time. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 2af95d1cda9ccd4648425beba0c63493 TLS cert SHA-256: 4295115850bab8313705259ad23b5bc90425838104fc33ef2ead46ef5347d593 ## 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/intermediacom.us/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=intermediacom.us 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.
