# PhishDestroy threat dossier — orbit-protocol-lending.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-24 11:46:28 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/orbit-protocol-lending.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: MetaMask ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (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: ["terry.ns.cloudflare.com", "ximena.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-22 ## 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: 2026-04-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-22 17:08:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-22 14:09:30 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-24 13:40:03 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 17:10:04 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019db584-3178-7081-9e6c-05bfc273aeb7/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/7b2f35ba-c3e8-43a4-a15d-bc1113a8ea51 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/orbit-protocol-lending.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.orbit-protocol-lending.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=orbit-protocol-lending.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/orbit-protocol-lending.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/orbit-protocol-lending.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-22 17:09:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies orbit-protocol-lending.net as an active crypto drainer domain mimicking legitimate DeFi lending protocols. The site employs brand impersonation tactics, luring victims with false promises of high-yield lending opportunities to facilitate cryptocurrency theft. While no specific drainer kit (e.g., Approve/TransferFrom exploit) was explicitly linked in the intelligence, the domain's infrastructure and blocklist presence strongly suggest malicious intent aligned with credential theft or fund misappropriation frameworks commonly used in DeFi phishing campaigns. This domain was flagged with an elevated risk level after technical analysis confirmed multiple red flags. Domain creation occurred on October 10, 2025, just days prior to detection, indicating a likely opportunistic campaign. It resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 and leverages a Google Trust Services SSL certificate for credibility. Registration was processed through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar often associated with high-risk domains. The domain appears on 2 independent security blocklists and is currently blocked by MetaMask and SEAL, with only 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagging it as malicious as of the latest scan—highlighting how fresh or evasive this threat remains. As of current reporting, orbit-protocol-lending.net remains active and unmitigated at the domain and IP level. Immediate defensive actions include domain blocking across enterprise and consumer security stacks, network-level IP denylisting, and user awareness campaigns to prevent accidental exposure. While the domain exhibits classic signs of a short-lived phishing operation, its SSL certificate and recent creation suggest it may persist briefly before rotating to new domains. Users engaging with DeFi platforms should verify URLs via official channels, avoid clicking unsolicited links, and ensure wallet extensions (e.g., MetaMask) are updated to leverage native phishing protections. Remaining risk is assessed as elevated due to low initial detection coverage and the domain's recent activation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260422-E75151 Favicon MD5: a7f606152f733b9501d2781b77036a1b ## 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/orbit-protocol-lending.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=orbit-protocol-lending.net 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.
