Registrar: Name.com, Inc. Nameservers: joel.ns.cloudflare.com, tani.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2021-07-18 Expires: 2026-07-18 Page title: 404: This page could not be found.

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: 2021-07-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 11:49:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-22 00:20:31 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-11 04:41:33 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f36d4-22ef-75ec-9c89-4266a4542140/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/notexists6543216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.notexists6543216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=notexists6543216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/notexists6543216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/notexists6543216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 11:55:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] notexists654321.acquency.com: Credential Theft Domain Under This domain, notexists6543216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.com, is flagged as a credential theft threat under active investigation. The site presents a generic "Coming Soon" placeholder under the title "Acquency," with no overt brand impersonation detected at this stage. Infrastructure analysis indicates the domain was registered on July 18, 2021, through Name.com, Inc., and currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, and no detections have been recorded across 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the latest scan. Technical indicators reveal the domain remains unblocklisted, with a 0/95 detection ratio on VirusTotal, suggesting either evasion tactics or early-stage deployment. The creation date predates typical phishing campaign lifecycles, which may imply dormant infrastructure or repurposed assets. The resolved IP (188.114.96.3) is associated with content delivery networks, potentially masking the true origin of malicious activity. No historical WHOIS red flags or subdomain proliferation patterns have been observed, though the unique seed identifier (8f37ec) links it to a broader cluster of similarly structured domains. Current status remains active with no confirmed payload delivery. Organizations are advised to monitor subdomains under acquency.com for sudden content changes or redirect chains. Network-level blocking of 188.114.96.3 is recommended for high-risk environments until further analysis confirms benign intent. Endpoint protection systems should prioritize behavioral detection for credential harvesting patterns, particularly if the domain transitions from its current placeholder state. Continuous scanning for newly associated SSL certificates or IP shifts is critical to preempt potential exploitation. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d9d065ac629140fe72275d2ac8ea55d4 TLS cert SHA-256: e1bb758050f1b5b7264f00721ccd745db6fc0573d8314a65ddc9e0c841587baf ## 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/notexists6543216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=notexists6543216c8cb8a8-1669-4888-9584-d7052cf15662.acquency.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
