# PhishDestroy threat dossier — phnixlabs.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 13:55:49 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/phnixlabs.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: fake_airdrop ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 4 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: ["andronicus.ns.cloudflare.com", "hope.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-09 Page title: PHNIX | Claim Your $PHNIX Allocation HTTP response: 429 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 9cfe2ad98b408384d0b9fe4f16e6fb713e7a62b53576da7da8222b251cd095b8 ## 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: 2026-05-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-09 06:31:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-09 03:32:33 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-02 12:20:39 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-14 06:12:33 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/019e0ac8-7f3e-778e-88b3-b038705a63e0/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/df409b53-0e63-43fa-b9fb-4e5e9a6a8d35 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/phnixlabs.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.phnixlabs.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=phnixlabs.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/phnixlabs.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/phnixlabs.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-09 06:32:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies phnixlabs.com as a credential theft site masquerading as a legitimate service. This domain employs generic phishing tactics to harvest user login credentials, likely targeting unaware visitors under false pretenses. No evidence suggests affiliation with a specific brand or deployment of a crypto drainer kit; however, the infrastructure’s design aligns with credential harvesting operations observed in similar campaigns. The threat actor behind this domain leverages social engineering to trick users into submitting sensitive information, which is then exfiltrated for malicious purposes such as account takeover or further exploitation. Technical indicators confirm the elevated risk associated with phnixlabs.com. The domain was registered on May 01, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar known for accommodating high-risk domains. VirusTotal analysis reveals a detection rate of 1 out of 95 security vendors, indicating low visibility among automated defenses despite the site’s malicious intent. The domain resolves to IP address 185.114.96.3, hosted on infrastructure linked to multiple phishing and malware campaigns. The SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt, provides a false sense of legitimacy, while the domain’s recent creation suggests a short-lived operation typical of opportunistic threat actors. As of this assessment, phnixlabs.com has not been flagged by Google Safe Browsing (GSB), and blocklist counts remain unverified in public sources. These factors collectively underscore the site’s transient and deceptive nature. This domain remains active and poses an immediate risk to users who interact with it. PhishDestroy recommends blocking phnixlabs.com at the network and endpoint levels to prevent accidental exposure. Users who have already visited the site should avoid entering any credentials, reset passwords for potentially affected accounts, and monitor for signs of unauthorized access. The elevated risk level and low detection rate highlight the need for heightened vigilance, particularly for individuals or organizations handling sensitive data. While the domain’s short lifespan may limit its operational window, its current activity demands proactive defensive measures to mitigate potential credential theft and downstream attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260509-3504A4 Favicon MD5: 586f005797f5d61fc14749292375b1ab TLS cert SHA-256: 9cfe2ad98b408384d0b9fe4f16e6fb713e7a62b53576da7da8222b251cd095b8 ## 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/phnixlabs.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=phnixlabs.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.
