# PhishDestroy threat dossier — layerbrret.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-25 17:16:36 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/layerbrret.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Webroot ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. 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: ["piper.ns.cloudflare.com", "gerardo.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-21 Page title: LayerBrett | Fast & Rewarding Layer 2 Blockchain ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-14 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c2bdce4bd6b7829ffe9c5beddd8be3fbb6b69632ddff93a18aef8d6d3677d4bb ## 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: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-21 11:46:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 13:40:09 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 02:14:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019daf34-5909-701a-9d17-863f9c0c593f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/layerbrret.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.layerbrret.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=layerbrret.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/layerbrret.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/layerbrret.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-21 11:49:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies layerbrret.live as an active credential theft domain posing as a legitimate service to harvest user login credentials. The domain employs generic phishing tactics, likely targeting unsuspecting victims through deceptive emails or messages that mimic trusted brands. This campaign aims to trick users into entering their credentials on a fraudulent login page hosted on the malicious domain, enabling threat actors to gain unauthorized access to sensitive accounts. No specific drainer kit or brand impersonation has been confirmed at this time, but the domain's behavior aligns with known credential theft operations. This domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and is flagged by only 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating low initial detection rates. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, suggesting the threat actors prioritize establishing a false sense of security. The domain was registered recently, though the exact creation date is not publicly disclosed in available records. It is currently unlisted on Google Safe Browsing (GSB) and has not been widely blocked by threat intelligence platforms, increasing the risk of successful exploitation. The registrar for layerbrret.live is likely a privacy-protected service, obfuscating ownership details and complicating takedown efforts. At present, layerbrret.live remains active and poses an elevated risk to potential victims. Immediate action is required to block access to the domain at the network level and warn users about the threat. Organizations should update firewall rules, DNS blacklists, and endpoint protection systems to include this domain. Users who may have interacted with the domain should change their passwords immediately and enable multi-factor authentication where possible. The residual risk remains high due to the domain's low detection rate and lack of widespread blocking, necessitating continued monitoring and proactive threat hunting. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 1d1757f713355ce30bd337cef34b6daa TLS cert SHA-256: c2bdce4bd6b7829ffe9c5beddd8be3fbb6b69632ddff93a18aef8d6d3677d4bb ## 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/layerbrret.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=layerbrret.live 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.
