# PhishDestroy threat dossier — iobituninstaller.cn ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 18:51:06 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/iobituninstaller.cn/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 203.196.8.151 (HK, Hong Kong) ASN: AS23764 CTGNet Hosting org: CTHKI Page title: IObit Uninstaller 15 免费版 - 专业软件卸载工具 | 彻底清除顽固程序 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-08-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 99c68a4db84a2e464dc3eedb48c85472b1f36da41fa98ef21dd56af2a427e1b5 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - uninstaller.cn - www.iobituninstaller.cn - www.uninstaller.cn ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-09 17:26:36 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-09 17:25:15 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-15 00:51:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:36:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain iobituninstaller.cn has been identified as a generic_phishing site specifically designed to impersonate the legitimate IObit Uninstaller 15 software. Analysis of the page title, "IObit Uninstaller 15 免费版 - 专业软件卸载工具 | 彻底清除顽固程序," confirms the intent to deceive users into downloading counterfeit or malicious versions of the software. As of the latest assessment, this domain is currently offline, though prior activity indicates an elevated risk level associated with its operations. Infrastructure analysis reveals that iobituninstaller.cn was flagged by 3 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating limited but notable detection. The domain resolves to the IP address 203.196.8.151, a host that has been associated with other malicious activities. It appears on four distinct security blocklists, further corroborating its classification as a phishing threat. The domain employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic among phishing sites to appear legitimate. Technologies detected on the domain include Nginx as the web server and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) enforcement, which, while typically a security best practice, is exploited here to lend credibility to the fraudulent site. At present, iobituninstaller.cn has been taken offline, likely due to enforcement actions by registrars or hosting providers. However, the risk of re-emergence under a similar or altered domain remains. Users and organizations are advised to block the domain and its associated IP address (203.196.8.151) at the network level. Additionally, security teams should monitor for any resurgence of this threat, particularly domains impersonating software distribution platforms. End-users should verify software downloads exclusively through official vendor channels and employ endpoint protection solutions capable of detecting and blocking phishing domains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 597ec6d6612a79899fe1c00220eebb66 TLS cert SHA-256: 99c68a4db84a2e464dc3eedb48c85472b1f36da41fa98ef21dd56af2a427e1b5 ## 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/iobituninstaller.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=iobituninstaller.cn 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.
