Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is iraniannews.online a Phishing Site? The domain iraniannews.online was registered on July 14, 2026 through Namecheap Inc and is currently resolving to the IPv4 address 35.159.10.46 via the authoritative nameservers dns1.registrar-servers.com and dns2.registrar-servers.com. Early detection activity shows that the domain is listed on one public security blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service. VirusTotal analysis records three of ninety‑five antivirus or URL‑reputation engines flagging the domain as malicious, indicating a modest but non‑trivial level of consensus among scanning vendors. The domain’s risk rating is classified as high, and its operational status remains active as of the report date, July 22, 2026. No additional intelligence such as SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, page title, or content analysis has been published, leaving the exact nature of the phishing payload or targeted brand unspecified. Defenders should consider adding iraniannews.online to network‑level deny lists, enforce DNS sinkholing for the associated IP address, and monitor outbound traffic for connections to the listed nameservers. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised as further scanning results become available, especially to confirm whether additional security vendors update their classifications. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 76371c6200a74a61102bc272970ddffdfe3c10904e2a63bd1c08b79be3317909 ## 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/iraniannews.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=iraniannews.online 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.
