# PhishDestroy threat dossier — popandc.be ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-16 17:47:09 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/popandc.be/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 74/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 13/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, MalwareURL, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE URLQuery: 3 detections AlienVault OTX: 5 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 213.186.33.4 (FR, Roubaix) ASN: AS16276 OVH SAS Hosting org: OVH SAS Registered: 2026-06-08 Page title: Index of / HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: e8b70f95b146e437f157d6999528d97c8a817faef1ccabea42442d5ab15a8fd6 ## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-09 05:31:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-08 13:32:19 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-16 16:20:47 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-12 18:33:14 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/019ea76a-9747-741e-a099-fe5349fa0510/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f4221990-4f16-4c46-87bb-3607251c02f4 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/popandc.be crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.popandc.be Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=popandc.be AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/popandc.be URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/popandc.be/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 01:48:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, popandc.be, is identified as a credential theft phishing site designed to harvest user login credentials through deceptive login portals. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate authentication pages to trick users into submitting usernames, passwords, and other sensitive information, which is then exfiltrated to attacker-controlled infrastructure. The domain does not appear to target specific brands but employs generic credential harvesting techniques, increasing its potential impact across multiple platforms. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 213.186.33.4 and is flagged by 16 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. It appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD, and has been included in five threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX. The domain was registered on June 08, 2026, and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. The page title, 'Index of /', suggests an exposed directory listing, a common misconfiguration that may indicate poor operational security or an attempt to evade detection. Users who have visited popandc.be or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action to mitigate potential compromise. First, reset passwords for any accounts accessed or entered on the site, prioritizing accounts with financial or sensitive data. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all critical accounts to prevent unauthorized access. Monitor accounts for suspicious activity, such as unauthorized logins or transactions, and report any anomalies to the respective service providers. If financial information was submitted, contact the relevant institution to flag potential fraud. Additionally, scan local devices for malware, as phishing sites may distribute malicious payloads or redirect to exploit kits. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260608-43AA97 Favicon MD5: 4f82ec81016d5ae5a41515a8f4e61cb0 TLS cert SHA-256: e8b70f95b146e437f157d6999528d97c8a817faef1ccabea42442d5ab15a8fd6 ## 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/popandc.be/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=popandc.be 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.
