Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] povcas.com: Confirmed Phishing Site Targeting Credentials Analysis of povcas.com confirms its classification as an active phishing domain. Registered on July 4, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, the domain currently resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. Infrastructure review shows Cloudflare nameservers (andronicus.ns.cloudflare.com, kinsley.ns.cloudflare.com), a common pattern among threat actors leveraging Cloudflare's proxy services to obscure hosting origins. As of July 22, 2026, the domain appears on one security blocklist (PhishDestroy) and is flagged by 3 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating detection by multiple engines despite limited public reporting. The specific phishing campaign or targeted brand remains unconfirmed, as no page title, brand target, or scam type details were provided in available intelligence. The domain's recent registration and immediate detection suggest a short-lived operation typical of credential harvesting or fraudulent login portals. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and implement blocking at DNS, proxy, or endpoint levels. Network logs should be reviewed for connections to 188.114.96.3 or povcas.com, particularly from corporate or high-value user segments. Given the domain's active status and minimal blocklist coverage, additional monitoring is recommended to track potential shifts in infrastructure or campaign focus. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 0072fbbe64d10e1f0ab81a6068e25adac9c5e84739dfc8f6175ff9cadb09438c ## 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/povcas.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=povcas.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.
