# PhishDestroy threat dossier — linco-motors.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 15:24:30 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/linco-motors.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.52.114 (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: chase.ns.cloudflare.com, daphne.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-26 Expires: 2027-06-26 Page title: LinCo Motors ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-24 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: cf7cc83fb8542cf28f7ff18e0eade428ebc5855788a664c0ae5fa54c4ad3f109 ## 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: 2026-06-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 06:22:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-01 16:30:12 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:17:35 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1be9-9fa8-75d1-b7ab-04a676454544/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/linco-motors.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.linco-motors.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=linco-motors.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/linco-motors.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/linco-motors.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 06:25:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, linco-motors.com, is flagged as a high-risk phishing site targeting users through brand impersonation. Analysis indicates it mimics a legitimate automotive company under the name LinCo Motors, as evidenced by the page title and domain structure. No direct evidence of a crypto drainer or credential-harvesting kit was observed, but the site’s design and naming convention suggest intent to deceive users into believing it represents a trusted vehicle manufacturer or dealership network. Technical indicators confirm the domain was registered on June 26, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with abusive registrations. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.52.114, a Cloudflare-associated endpoint commonly used to obscure hosting origins. VirusTotal detection shows 1 of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing HTTPS encryption but not validating legitimacy. No listings were found on Google Safe Browsing at the time of analysis, and public blocklists show minimal coverage, with only one confirmed detection. As of the latest assessment, linco-motors.com remains active and accessible. Response actions should include immediate blocking of the domain and IP at the network perimeter, submission to additional threat intelligence platforms to improve detection coverage, and monitoring for related infrastructure. Despite low initial detection, the domain’s recent creation, brand-mimicking structure, and use of bulletproof registration infrastructure present a persistent risk. Users and organizations are advised to treat this domain as untrusted and avoid interaction. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 80828e2d5d72500906b4c6e69ba82646 TLS cert SHA-256: cf7cc83fb8542cf28f7ff18e0eade428ebc5855788a664c0ae5fa54c4ad3f109 ## 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/linco-motors.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=linco-motors.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.
