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: 2026-03-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-19 02:32:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-19 00:39:28 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 03:04:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019edd49-70dc-7024-931d-5cddd29d134c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/36b2a270-b910-4a4d-b7e6-c1913fdbf0d8 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/libertyapexbank.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.libertyapexbank.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=libertyapexbank.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/libertyapexbank.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/libertyapexbank.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:05:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] libertyapexbank.com is currently active and identified as a phishing domain, with 1 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal marking it as malicious. The domain is hosted on IP 194.36.191.196 in the Netherlands, under the organization Host Sailor Ltd. It uses an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, which is common for phishing sites due to its ease of access and cost-free nature. The domain was created on March 12, 2026, and PhishDestroy detected it on June 19, 2026. This detection timeline highlights the domain's potential to exploit the gap between registration and antivirus database updates. Its presence on one public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's, underscores its threat level, further emphasized by a platform risk score of 71 out of 100. Registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu, libertyapexbank.com is likely designed to deceive users into providing sensitive information under the guise of a legitimate banking entity. The combination of its recent creation date and low detection rate suggests it may be part of a broader phishing campaign targeting unsuspecting users. The domain's abuse score of 19 out of 100 indicates some level of malicious activity, though not yet widespread. The low number of VirusTotal detections does not imply safety but rather the freshness of the threat, as phishing domains often remain undetected during their early existence. PhishDestroy's proactive measures capture such threats before they propagate widely, offering critical early warnings to protect potential victims. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260619-E4A8F9 Favicon MD5: 77926c847701fed2d1fc1ad44ab9c51f TLS cert SHA-256: a18fbc0de39c1a57f2d576688c9ca38705017f07a0d9fbba523a588121b1ac4e ## 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/libertyapexbank.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=libertyapexbank.com 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.
