Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] promo-settings.com: Confirmed Phishing Site Analysis of promo-settings.com indicates that the domain is actively being used for a generic phishing campaign. The domain was registered on July 28, 2026 through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com and resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. Its authoritative nameservers are algin.ns.cloudflare.com and marjory.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming that the hosting infrastructure is provided by Cloudflare. The domain appears on three independent security blocklists and is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, suggesting that multiple threat intelligence sources have observed malicious activity associated with this host. VirusTotal records show that the domain has been scanned by 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation vendors; none of the scanned samples returned a detection, a result that the report explicitly notes does not constitute evidence of safety. The current operational status is listed as active, and no public information on HTTP response codes, SSL certificate details, or page title has been released, leaving the exact content of the site unverified. Defenders should treat the domain as high‑risk: network perimeter devices, DNS filtering solutions, and endpoint security products should enforce blocks against promo-settings.com, and any inbound or outbound traffic to the associated IP address 188.114.96.3 should be monitored for anomalous patterns. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended, as the lack of detection on VirusTotal may change if the threat actors modify payloads or hosting. Organizations should also consider adding the domain to internal blocklists and sharing indicators of compromise with peer security communities to improve collective detection capability. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: fb07d526298f561d5025d544e6059f10 TLS cert SHA-256: 319def6098f5f1db4d0a265bf73f5c6a2b8ef5de9996ee6f090b7e0c0e8cf3a3 ## 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/promo-settings.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=promo-settings.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.
