# PhishDestroy threat dossier — open-dropsea.network ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-25 19:55:04 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/open-dropsea.network/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 56/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, Fortinet, Gridinsoft ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.1.195 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["phil.ns.cloudflare.com", "yolanda.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-02 Expires: 2027-03-29 HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-06-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 3228c1802ac2ff5e043d70fb724d66cca8b0d159354e1d1f797b1987bf70ffc7 ## 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: 2026-04-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-02 17:36:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-02 15:06:15 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 04:08:57 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 04:08:57 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/019d4e9e-5f80-70dc-b6ac-2285179e155e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b8889c5f-90c6-4386-8022-c0efa7428199 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/open-dropsea.network crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.open-dropsea.network Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=open-dropsea.network AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/open-dropsea.network URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/open-dropsea.network/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-02 17:37:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies open-dropsea.network as an active credential harvesting phishing threat currently under investigation. The risk level remains elevated as the domain attempts to capture sensitive login credentials through deceptive means, posing significant danger to unaware users. The domain was registered on March 29, 2026, using NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED as the registrar. It holds a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, likely employed to appear legitimate and build user trust. The domain resolves to IP address 104.21.1.195. Despite these indicators, VirusTotal reports 0 out of 95 detections, meaning it has not yet been flagged by common antivirus or URL scanning engines. The lack of blocklist presence and zero trust score detections highlight that it is a newly established threat that could bypass conventional filters. Mitigation against open-dropsea.network should include heightened user awareness about credential harvesting tactics and skepticism towards unsolicited login prompts or requests for personal information. Network defenses should incorporate domain and IP monitoring to block communications with 104.21.1.195 and use heuristic detection to identify phishing patterns. Organizations are advised to update security policies to flag newly registered domains via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP and scrutinize SSL certificates issued by Let's Encrypt in suspicious contexts. Immediate reporting and takedown efforts are recommended to prevent wider exploitation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260402-923B1A Favicon MD5: 5172b2a5cd6227a2b4bbbe26296974ad TLS cert SHA-256: 3228c1802ac2ff5e043d70fb724d66cca8b0d159354e1d1f797b1987bf70ffc7 ## 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/open-dropsea.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=open-dropsea.network 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.
