# PhishDestroy threat dossier — newslogistics.in ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-06 16:30:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/newslogistics.in/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Abusix, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, SOCRadar, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 103.21.59.28 (IN, Mumbai) ASN: AS394695 PDR Hosting org: P.D.R Solutions Registrar: GoDaddy Nameservers: ns1.bh-in-11.webhostbox.net, ns2.bh-in-11.webhostbox.net Registered: 2010-05-26 Expires: 2027-05-26 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-24 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: a0547dd7f3197641b3643eb103ab0ffa0b12660c5d6e89ebd42bf7c3386aacc7 ## 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: 2010-05-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 15:06:09 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/019f3788-3cb8-76aa-aa9d-96aaba58e023/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/newslogistics.in crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.newslogistics.in Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=newslogistics.in AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/newslogistics.in URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/newslogistics.in/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 15:36:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, newslogistics.in, is flagged as a high-risk credential harvesting phishing site actively targeting users through social engineering tactics. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate login portals, tricking victims into submitting sensitive authentication details such as usernames, passwords, and multi-factor authentication codes. The threat type is classified as generic_phishing with a focus on credential theft, posing significant risks to both individual and organizational security. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to the IP address 103.21.59.28 and was registered through GoDaddy on May 26, 2010. Detection metrics from VirusTotal indicate 9 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, reflecting moderate but consistent detection across multiple engines. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, a common tactic among phishing operators to lend a false sense of legitimacy. Google Safe Browsing has explicitly categorized the domain under SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, confirming its use in deceptive campaigns. Despite its long registration history, the domain remains active and continues to evade broader detection, suggesting ongoing operational refinement. Mitigation against this threat requires a multi-layered approach. Network-level protections should include blocking the domain and its associated IP address (103.21.59.28) at firewalls and DNS resolvers. Endpoint security solutions should be configured to detect and prevent access to known phishing domains, particularly those flagged for social engineering. User awareness training is critical, emphasizing the identification of phishing indicators such as mismatched URLs, unexpected login prompts, and suspicious SSL certificate issuers. Organizations should also enforce strict credential management policies, including the use of password managers and hardware-based multi-factor authentication to reduce the impact of credential theft. Continuous monitoring of threat intelligence feeds for updates on this domain and related infrastructure is recommended to adapt defenses as the campaign evolves. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: a0547dd7f3197641b3643eb103ab0ffa0b12660c5d6e89ebd42bf7c3386aacc7 ## 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/newslogistics.in/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=newslogistics.in 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.
