# PhishDestroy threat dossier — main-core.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-05 23:51:32 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/main-core.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 88/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain URLQuery: 1 detections AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 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: adele.ns.cloudflare.com, theo.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-27 Expires: 2027-05-27 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-05-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 02:32:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 00:43:20 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-06 00:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-01 03:23:37 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e805f-0de0-71cf-b97f-15f4ae5b7b9b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/1e5e55c9-f42c-440d-bb1d-62adba7a0b4c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/main-core.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.main-core.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=main-core.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/main-core.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/main-core.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 18:57:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, main-core.xyz, is flagged as a generic phishing threat under active investigation. Analysis indicates no association with a specific brand or known phishing kit at this time, though the infrastructure aligns with patterns observed in credential-harvesting campaigns. The page title "Just a moment..." suggests the use of a Cloudflare challenge or proxy service, commonly employed to evade detection and obscure backend hosting details. No drainer kit signatures or brand impersonation have been confirmed in preliminary scans, but the domain remains a potential vector for user deception. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: VirusTotal detection score of 0/95, indicating no antivirus engines have flagged the domain as malicious at the time of assessment. The domain was registered on May 27, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently utilized for short-lived phishing domains. It resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, assigned to AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.), and lacks an SSL certificate, which may reduce its perceived legitimacy to end users. The domain appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, while Google Safe Browsing status remains unconfirmed. No additional historical or passive DNS artifacts have been identified in public threat feeds. Current status of main-core.xyz remains active, with no takedown or sinkholing observed. The domain poses a residual risk due to its low detection rate and Cloudflare-hosted infrastructure, which may delay or prevent automated blocking. Recommended response actions include monitoring for changes in page content, SSL certificate issuance, or shifts in IP resolution, as these may signal the onset of active phishing campaigns. Network defenders should consider preemptive blocking of the domain and its associated IP, particularly in environments where Cloudflare-proxied phishing sites have previously evaded detection. Further analysis is required to determine the intended target or campaign affiliation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260601-7AE837 ## 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/main-core.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=main-core.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
