# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pr.northstate.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-29 16:31:51 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pr.northstate.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- HIGH THREAT — malicious activity confirmed Composite threat score: 73/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 23.185.0.4 (US, San Francisco) ASN: AS54113 Fastly, Inc. Hosting org: Pantheon Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.nstel.com", "dns2.nstel.com"] Page title: Lumos | High-Speed Fiber Internet Provider in NC, VA and SC HTTP response: 301 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-08-31 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b2a87c59a8c69c2910f267bff2954d39c8debcdae7ed2631d76834ed936654bb Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - dvrscheduler.northstate.net - insights.northstate.net - lumosfiber.com - lumosnetworks.com - myaccount.northstate.net - northstate.net - rsb.lumosnetworks.com - stayconnected.northstate.net - www.lumosfiber.com - www.lumosnetworks.com - www.northstate.net ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 14:33:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 16:20:23 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 14:35:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] pr.northstate.net — Generic Phishing Investigation The domain pr.northstate.net is currently active and has been observed in a single security blocklist. Registry data shows it was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and its authoritative name servers are dns1.nstel.com and dns2.nstel.com. HTTP traffic to the domain returns a 301 redirect, indicating that the site is configured to forward requests rather than serve content directly. The domain has been flagged by the PhishDestroy blocklist, confirming that at least one anti‑phishing service has taken protective action against it. A VirusTotal scan involving 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation engines did not return any detections; however, the absence of detections does not constitute assurance of safety, and the scan result alone cannot be used to dismiss the threat. No additional intelligence such as Safe Browsing, Open Threat Exchange, SSL certificate details, or page title information is presently available. Based on the existing evidence, the domain should be treated as a generic phishing vector that remains operational. Defenders are advised to add pr.northstate.net to local blocklists, enforce DNS‑level filtering, and monitor DNS queries for anomalous activity. Continuous re‑scanning with multiple sandbox and reputation services is recommended to capture any future malicious payloads or changes in hosting infrastructure. Organizations should also review outbound traffic logs for connections to the domain and consider sinkholing the associated IP space if the hosting provider is identified, to mitigate potential credential harvesting attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: b2a87c59a8c69c2910f267bff2954d39c8debcdae7ed2631d76834ed936654bb ## 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/pr.northstate.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pr.northstate.net 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.
