Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ovotower.com as an active tech support scam site under investigation by cybersecurity analysts. The domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and was registered on March 07, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, leveraging a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. Despite zero detections on VirusTotal at the time of assessment, the domain's recent creation and hosting infrastructure warrant heightened scrutiny. This domain was flagged with a risk level marked as under investigation, with the specific threat type identified as a tech support scam. VirusTotal currently shows 0/95 detections, indicating no immediate recognition by antivirus engines. The domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, registered via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and was created on March 07, 2026. No entries were found on major blocklists at the time of analysis, and trust scores remain unverified due to the domain's recent registration. The use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate suggests an attempt to establish false credibility. Mitigation steps for this tech support scam threat include avoiding interaction with unsolicited pop-ups, calls, or emails claiming to be from Microsoft or other tech support services linked to ovotower.com. Users should report suspicious activity to their email provider or cybersecurity team and avoid downloading any software or providing personal information. Network defenders are advised to block the IP address 188.114.97.3 and monitor for any additional domains registered through the same registrar or infrastructure. Regularly updating browser security settings and using ad-blockers can also reduce exposure to such scams. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260506-549368 Favicon MD5: f1ccd28aa4d092936d37df8a05a0e418 TLS cert SHA-256: 156bccc1f525cde35fbb4392159f6432200df3b49fa1493d6673a7632eb796b2 ## 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/ovotower.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ovotower.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
