Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: alla.ns.cloudflare.com, ryan.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-03-23 Page title: MacDrive Update | Apple Repairs, SSD Upgrades ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-06-16 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 82034389fce328dc4319d63db2d4fda9ce3b1f73d7323939ace788f70e6e2a48 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-03-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-22 21:18:35 UTC — PREDATES WHOIS; likely from a prior registration of the same name (dropped-domain re-registration) Last verified: 2026-04-24 01:40:37 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d16c3-4bbd-7669-a249-bcd254eb0535/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mac-drive-update-dev-test.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mac-drive-update-dev-test.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mac-drive-update-dev-test.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mac-drive-update-dev-test.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mac-drive-update-dev-test.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 01:15:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies mac-drive-update-dev-test.pages.dev as an active credential phishing domain impersonating a MacDrive update service, potentially targeting users seeking Apple repairs or SSD upgrades. This threat aims to deceive visitors into divulging sensitive login information by mimicking a legitimate software update page, which can lead to unauthorized access and data compromise. The domain is registered via Cloudflare, Inc. and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. Despite its current active status, VirusTotal scans show no detections from any of 95 security vendors, indicating that this phishing site remains under the radar and is classified as under_investigation. The page title "MacDrive Update | Apple Repairs, SSD Upgrades" is crafted to appear trustworthy and lure users into submitting credentials. Users are advised to exercise caution when encountering this domain or similar URLs purporting to offer software updates or repair services. Avoid entering any personal or login details on suspicious sites, especially those hosted on free or unfamiliar subdomains. Always verify the legitimacy of update prompts through official vendor channels and consider using web reputation tools or consulting PhishDestroy to confirm domain safety before interaction. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3f991d96ccaaf22106b9bf670c628e6d TLS cert SHA-256: 82034389fce328dc4319d63db2d4fda9ce3b1f73d7323939ace788f70e6e2a48 ## 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/mac-drive-update-dev-test.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mac-drive-update-dev-test.pages.dev 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.
