# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pdfworker.online ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 01:17:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pdfworker.online/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 18/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Certego, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, MalwareURL, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 7 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2026-04-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-22 23:45:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 00:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-23 00:01:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ef14a-41e8-7202-8c40-acb839184d4b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pdfworker.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pdfworker.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pdfworker.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pdfworker.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pdfworker.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 22:58:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain pdfworker.online has been identified as a generic phishing domain with no specific brand impersonation or drainer kit detected. Analysis indicates that this domain was being used to deceive users and potentially steal sensitive information. Infrastructure analysis reveals that pdfworker.online has a VirusTotal score of 18/95, indicating a significant level of detection by security vendors. The domain is registered through NameSilo, LLC, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which is located in the United States and is part of AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. The domain was created on April 15, 2026, and is currently listed on one security blocklist. It is also blocked by the PhishDestroy system. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YE1). The domain is currently offline, which reduces the immediate risk to potential victims. However, the domain's registration and IP infrastructure should be monitored for any signs of reactivation. Organizations and individuals are advised to update their security policies to block this domain and educate users about the risks of generic phishing attacks. The elevated risk level and the presence on security blocklists suggest that the domain may have been part of a broader phishing campaign, and further investigation is recommended to identify any related infrastructure or activities. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 370e16c3b7dba286cff055f93b9a94d8 TLS cert SHA-256: 2cb10f66876198ce356ec46e0e3d80f724818606474c8e61672c13348337ebe7 ## 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/pdfworker.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pdfworker.online 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.
