# PhishDestroy threat dossier — nauticacentro.mx ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-26 04:56:40 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/nauticacentro.mx/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 94/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 159.198.36.123 (US, Phoenix) ASN: ASAS22612 NAMECHEAP-NET - Namecheap, Inc., US Hosting org: AS22612 Namecheap, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2018-07-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-21 16:16:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-26 04:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-22 00:02:43 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eea88-4696-76c4-bd35-7674f507b689/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/nauticacentro.mx crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.nauticacentro.mx Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=nauticacentro.mx AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/nauticacentro.mx URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/nauticacentro.mx/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:00:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Nauticacentro.mx, a phishing domain, has been flagged by 3 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating its malicious nature. Despite its offline status, the domain remains significant due to its detection by PhishDestroy on June 21, 2026. Registered with NameSilo and hosted on an IP owned by Namecheap, Inc., the domain's infrastructure suggests a calculated approach to avoid early detection. The domain was created in 2018, but its recent detection highlights a potential reactivation or shift in tactics by the threat actors. The SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt adds a layer of legitimacy, often used to deceive users into believing the site is secure. The hosting IP, located in the US, is part of AS22612, a network known for hosting various types of content, including potentially harmful domains. Public blocklists include nauticacentro.mx, with PhishDestroy being the sole entity to have flagged it. This highlights the domain's recent activity and the importance of early detection systems. The platform risk score of 66/100 indicates a moderate threat level, emphasizing the need for continuous monitoring of such domains to prevent phishing attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 73aaa7e21699112249bfb260c01bf71a TLS cert SHA-256: 68a10d88083e7eb61d05a1090c4769b4a91c94c29ea1dd216db2c9b183e720cb ## 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/nauticacentro.mx/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nauticacentro.mx 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.
