# PhishDestroy threat dossier — mail.web3secureexplorer.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 19:45:18 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/mail.web3secureexplorer.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 77/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 163.61.236.12 (US, Piscataway) ASN: AS153634 CodeNext IT Solution Hosting org: Extent Technologies Limited Registrar: TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown Nameservers: dns1.lytehosting.com, dns2.lytehosting.com, dns3.lytehosting.com, dns4.lytehosting.com, ns1.serverfoundation.com, ns2.serverfoundation.com Registered: 2025-08-22 Expires: 2026-08-22 Page title: Web3SecureExplorer ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 3df98dbccbb93243aa15898bf157923c8b8a7dfc24d18b41ee7252b9dc870204 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - web3secureexplorer.com ## 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: 2025-08-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 04:13:41 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 02:46:19 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b72-c40d-70da-9496-89de3c944d3c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/54a08e98-e79f-4d0a-a99e-aeaceebd4905 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mail.web3secureexplorer.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mail.web3secureexplorer.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mail.web3secureexplorer.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mail.web3secureexplorer.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mail.web3secureexplorer.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 04:15:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, mail.web3secureexplorer.com, is suspected of being a credential phishing site. It poses a significant risk to users by attempting to trick them into revealing sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and other personal details. If compromised, this information can be used for unauthorized access to accounts, leading to financial loss, identity theft, and other serious consequences. Analysis of the domain indicates that it has not yet been flagged by VirusTotal, with 0/95 detections. The domain was created on August 22, 2025, and is currently active. It is registered through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown and resolves to the IP address 163.61.236.12. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a reputable certificate authority, which may give users a false sense of security. Despite the lack of detections, the recent creation date and the use of a generic registrar are red flags. If a user has visited mail.web3secureexplorer.com, they should immediately change passwords for any accounts that may have been compromised. It is recommended to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security. Users should also monitor their accounts for any unusual activity and report the domain to their cybersecurity team or trusted security service. Regularly updating security software and being cautious of unsolicited emails or links can help prevent future incidents. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-BE9F64 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 3df98dbccbb93243aa15898bf157923c8b8a7dfc24d18b41ee7252b9dc870204 ## 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 (operator 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/mail.web3secureexplorer.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mail.web3secureexplorer.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
