Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, pingserv.pro, is flagged as a high-risk generic phishing domain. Analysis indicates that the domain has been associated with phishing activities and has been listed in 8 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, suggesting a significant level of suspicion and potential malicious intent. The domain is currently active and has been registered through Spaceship, Inc. on September 03, 2025. It resolves to the IP address 185.254.97.249, which is located in Germany and is managed by dataforest GmbH. The domain is protected by a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which, while legitimate, does not mitigate the risk of malicious use. Infrastructure analysis reveals that pingserv.pro is hosted on Cloudflare's nameservers, alan.ns.cloudflare.com and kim.ns.cloudflare.com. This use of reputable DNS services can sometimes be indicative of an attempt to appear more legitimate to potential victims. The domain has been flagged by 21 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, further corroborating the high risk level. Additionally, the domain appears on 3 security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, which are known for identifying and blocking malicious web content. Defenders should be vigilant and take immediate action to block this domain in their network security configurations. The combination of the domain's presence in multiple threat intelligence feeds, its association with known phishing blocklists, and the high number of security vendor detections provides strong evidence of its malicious nature. Organizations should monitor for any attempts to access this domain and educate their users about the risks of phishing attacks. While the exact nature of the phishing activities is not specified, the high risk level and active status of the domain indicate that it is likely being used to carry out ongoing phishing campaigns. Defenders should also consider implementing additional security measures, such as multi-factor authentication and regular security awareness training, to protect against potential threats associated with this domain. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d9c91e92af6776e767700c6f0c258ec0 TLS cert SHA-256: d000a5a77a4e21bb424bee5508981617f43479369a1a613a96e69c37bb462656 ## 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/pingserv.pro/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pingserv.pro 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.
