# PhishDestroy threat dossier — maxcse.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-06 16:26:48 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/maxcse.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 84/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 17/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 43.133.41.74 (SG, Singapore) ASN: AS132203 Tencent Building, Kejizhongyi Avenue Hosting org: Aceville Pte.ltd Registrar: Dominet (HK) Limited Nameservers: ns1.domainnamens.com, ns2.domainnamens.com Registered: 2026-06-29 Expires: 2027-06-29 Page title: Maxis: Postpaid Plan, Home Internet and More | Telco Company ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-09-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 490cfd06488c439459d9d79d211214d8a5dd3cb65e10ba88247357ed2f5c904e ## 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: 2026-06-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 15:10:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-06 18:20:26 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f378a-fcf1-72e6-a026-e396702739a3/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/maxcse.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.maxcse.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=maxcse.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/maxcse.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/maxcse.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 15:16:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, maxcse.cc, is actively impersonating Maxis, a prominent telecommunications provider, in a targeted phishing campaign. Analysis confirms the site as a generic_phishing threat, currently operational and accessible. The fraudulent infrastructure mimics legitimate Maxis branding, including the page title 'Maxis: Postpaid Plan, Home Internet and More | Telco Company,' to deceive users into disclosing personal or financial information. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-risk indicators: the domain is flagged by 17 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including detection by PhishingArmy and OISD blocklists. Registered through Dominet (HK) Limited on June 29, 2026, the domain resolves to the IP address 43.133.41.74. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy to malicious sites. Despite its recent creation date, the domain appears on two security blocklists, underscoring its rapid identification as a threat. The current status of maxcse.cc remains active, posing an ongoing risk to users. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain and associated IP address at the network level. End-users should be alerted to the impersonation of Maxis branding and instructed to verify the authenticity of any telecommunications-related communications through official channels. Security teams are recommended to monitor for additional domains registered under the same registrar or resolving to the same IP, as these may indicate further phishing infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 490cfd06488c439459d9d79d211214d8a5dd3cb65e10ba88247357ed2f5c904e ## 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/maxcse.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=maxcse.cc 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.
