Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Threat Overview The domain protonemail[.]live is currently active and poses a threat as a potential phishing site. It has been flagged by multiple security vendors as malicious. This domain may be used to steal sensitive user information. Risk Indicators - 12 out of 91 VirusTotal vendors detect it as malicious - The domain is likely used for phishing, targeting users of a specific email service - The domain's recent creation and suspicious TLD may indicate malicious intent Technical Details - Registrar: Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc - Hosting IP: 172.67.132.161 Recommendations - Avoid interacting with protonemail[.]live and report any suspicious activity - Use official channels to access email services and verify the authenticity of websites - Keep antivirus software up to date to detect and prevent potential threats ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260620-BDFBF5 TLS cert SHA-256: f305ef63ab8f5f56ce374873b9a905fa2e4961fe192f92cc08b19f6ca0e738c0 ## 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 (volunteer 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/protonemail.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=protonemail.live 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
