# PhishDestroy threat dossier — mfgcapitalgroup.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-21 21:25:28 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/mfgcapitalgroup.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 65/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/94 security vendors flagged this domain ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.166.197 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["lara.ns.cloudflare.com", "trace.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-17 Page title: MFG Funds HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-06-03 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 2931a61510bc1a6ba66314bc5da1f11d433b5ba0efa78356267fc688374a015a ## 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: 2026-04-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-17 09:42:53 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-17 06:43:47 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-21 20:15:13 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-21 19:14:04 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019d9a2c-b436-7566-813e-f20548db01d4/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/675e8410-8e62-4e26-8dff-04f79880ddd0 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mfgcapitalgroup.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mfgcapitalgroup.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mfgcapitalgroup.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mfgcapitalgroup.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mfgcapitalgroup.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-17 09:43:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies mfgcapitalgroup.com as a credential-harvesting domain masquerading as MFG Capital Group, posing an active and under-investigation threat. This domain is currently unflagged by VirusTotal (0/95 detections) and leverages a Google Trust Services SSL certificate to appear legitimate. Registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, the domain resolves to IP 172.67.166.197 and was created on November 18, 2011. The domain’s age and SSL certification suggest an attempt to evade immediate detection, while its lack of VirusTotal flags indicates limited exposure in automated threat feeds. The absence of blocklist mentions further underscores its potential stealthiness. The threat level remains under investigation due to these factors, but the credential-harvesting objective is clear given the impersonation of a financial services entity like MFG Capital Group. Mitigation requires immediate action: users encountering this domain should avoid entering any credentials or sensitive data. Organizations should block both the domain and its resolving IP (172.67.166.197) at the network perimeter. Security teams should also scan for internal DNS queries to this domain and update threat intelligence platforms to flag its SSL certificate (Google Trust Services) as a potential indicator. Given its unflagged status, proactive hunting for related infrastructure is advised to prevent broader compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260417-99435D Favicon MD5: 38150b555d6fe18e21bb60a51f24f80a TLS cert SHA-256: 2931a61510bc1a6ba66314bc5da1f11d433b5ba0efa78356267fc688374a015a ## 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/mfgcapitalgroup.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mfgcapitalgroup.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
