# PhishDestroy threat dossier — linkpub70.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 04:00:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/linkpub70.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## 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.

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: 2026-06-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 14:27:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 14:46:07 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e31-b815-766f-9f30-ecd4c380973f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/7d8e9fff-a45a-4831-b334-6d602717f90f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/linkpub70.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.linkpub70.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=linkpub70.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/linkpub70.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/linkpub70.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 15:00:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, linkpub70.xyz, is actively engaged in phishing operations designed to mimic legitimate link-shortening services. Analysis indicates the site likely redirects victims to fraudulent pages, harvests credentials, or delivers malicious payloads under the guise of a benign URL shortener. The lack of a recognizable brand in the page title suggests a generic but scalable phishing infrastructure, increasing the risk of widespread exploitation across multiple campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 25, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 3 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain as malicious. Additionally, AlienVault OTX lists it in one threat intelligence pulse, further corroborating its association with malicious activity. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which may host additional phishing or malware distribution sites. Users who have visited linkpub70.xyz should immediately cease all interaction with the domain. If credentials were entered, reset passwords for all potentially affected accounts, particularly those sharing the same password. Monitor financial and communication platforms for unauthorized activity, as phishing sites often target email, banking, and social media logins. Network administrators should block the domain and its resolving IP at the perimeter to prevent further exposure. Consider deploying endpoint detection rules to identify any systems that may have communicated with this infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-40188C Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: c5eb185c8bb6eab95bc37b9b38a2b191c285a4190e4b4de7be6de0236e32d4e8 ## 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/linkpub70.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=linkpub70.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.
