# PhishDestroy threat dossier — landbids.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-07 06:00:54 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/landbids.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: unknown ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/92 security vendors flagged this domain URLQuery: 1 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: ligia.ns.cloudflare.com, ryan.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-06 Page title: Land Bid HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: d65a20a3e99b0a92a54d6b4e8dc4f4bc435e19bc081d3e2513f7b70b3e6cf2b7 ## 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: 2026-05-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-12 17:17:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-12 14:18:26 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-07 05:46:05 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:31:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e1c8b-255e-76a8-a431-1ca996903cc5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/05650fbf-0bcb-4069-80ff-9194990bbd28 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/landbids.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.landbids.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=landbids.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/landbids.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/landbids.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-12 17:17:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies landbids.xyz as an active credential harvesting domain currently masquerading as a legitimate land auction or bidding service. The domain is under investigation with a status of active, indicating ongoing malicious operations. This threat specifically targets users seeking to participate in land sales or auctions, harvesting credentials through fake bidding portals. This domain, landbids.xyz, is flagged by SEAL and appears on 1 security blocklist, indicating initial but unconfirmed malicious reputation. The domain was created on May 06, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC, and resolves to IP 188.114.96.3. Notably, VirusTotal currently records 0 detections out of 95 scanners, though its SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a tactic frequently leveraged to instill false trust in potential victims. The combination of recent creation and low initial detection rates suggests early-stage deployment, a common strategy for credential harvesting campaigns to evade immediate scrutiny. Given the domain’s active status and low detection footprint despite blocklisting, PhishDestroy assesses this threat as under investigation but still poses significant risk due to its impersonation tactic and reliance on false SSL validation. Users are advised to avoid visiting landbids.xyz and to verify any land auction or bidding websites through official channels. Organizations should consider blocking the domain and IP 188.114.96.3 at the network perimeter. If credential exposure is suspected, users should immediately reset passwords and enable multi-factor authentication on relevant accounts. Continuous monitoring for related domains or campaigns is recommended due to the evolving nature of credential harvesting operations. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260512-D288C0 Favicon MD5: 3e44a46be7897430ba5b70dd6400c67d TLS cert SHA-256: d65a20a3e99b0a92a54d6b4e8dc4f4bc435e19bc081d3e2513f7b70b3e6cf2b7 ## 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/landbids.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=landbids.xyz 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.
