Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] prime-cricle.net phishing campaign – high risk Analysis indicates that prime-cricle.net was registered on January 11 2026 through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown. The domain currently resolves to the IPv4 address 163.61.188.108 and is served by the authoritative name servers ns1.globaldnsnetwork.com and ns2.globaldnsnetwork.com. VirusTotal has recorded five detections out of ninety‑one submitted security vendors, confirming that multiple antivirus engines flag the domain as malicious. The domain is listed on at least one external security blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy remediation service, yet it remains accessible, confirming its active status. No publicly available page title, SSL certificate details, or HTTP response information have been disclosed, leaving the exact payload or lure employed by the site unknown. The limited visibility of the hosting environment, combined with the recent creation date, suggests a short‑lived infrastructure typical of fast‑flux phishing campaigns. Defenders should add the domain and its resolving IP address to network‑level deny lists, enforce DNS filtering for the associated nameservers, and monitor traffic for any connections to 163.61.188.108. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑engine services such as VirusTotal is advised to capture any future changes in detection status. Organizations using email or web gateways should ensure that inbound messages containing links to prime‑cricle.net are quarantined or rejected, and users should be warned against clicking any unsolicited URLs that reference this domain.

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/prime-cricle.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=prime-cricle.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.
