Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: CentralNic Ltd Nameservers: boyd.ns.cloudflare.com, olga.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-10-22 Page title: ppv.cx | free ppv and sports streams ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-05-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 23ff3836e344966da30707fccf92dc7682932bc266078c031372c57a0440bd0d ## 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: 2025-10-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-20 13:50:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-20 10:53:07 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 12:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:36:32 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019daa81-457f-719f-a787-459017551e8d/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f96cc872-8ef8-41d8-8b09-cb447d877a42 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ppv.cx crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ppv.cx Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ppv.cx AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ppv.cx URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ppv.cx/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-20 13:51:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ppv.cx as an active phishing domain engaged in brand impersonation campaigns. This site mimics legitimate login portals to harvest user credentials, tricking victims into surrendering sensitive account details. The domain leverages social engineering tactics by presenting itself as a trusted service interface, a common approach in recent credential-stealing operations. This domain was flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on exactly 1 blocklist, including detection by ScamSniffer. Registered through CentralNic Ltd on October 22, 2025, it operates from IP address 188.114.96.3 and utilizes a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. The recent registration and consistent hosting details suggest this is part of an ongoing threat campaign rather than an isolated incident. If you accessed ppv.cx, assume your credentials or personal data may have been compromised. Immediately change passwords for any accounts that share credentials with the site, enable multi-factor authentication where available, and scan your device for malware. Report the incident to your organization’s SOC or relevant financial institutions if financial details were entered. Avoid revisiting the domain, as it remains active and poses a continued risk. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260420-2A581F Favicon MD5: b5ef5e179eee7e6328ede81da3a5a1ab TLS cert SHA-256: 23ff3836e344966da30707fccf92dc7682932bc266078c031372c57a0440bd0d ## 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/ppv.cx/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ppv.cx 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.
