# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pub-185eb94565314928b6ba50c9ce2428fa.r2.dev ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-15 05:33:28 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pub-185eb94565314928b6ba50c9ce2428fa.r2.dev/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 54/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 8/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, ESET, Emsisoft, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Netcraft, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.18.50.34 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare R2 Nameservers: NS_NOT_FOUND HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: a7d73cf57253857ea0369aef51d03b8bfec991d66c420507d76c7c2e4d217189 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-25 14:12:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-15 06:03:18 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 18:20:37 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efeb1-6816-77b8-984e-8955c5092e38/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pub-185eb94565314928b6ba50c9ce2428fa.r2.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pub-185eb94565314928b6ba50c9ce2428fa.r2.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pub-185eb94565314928b6ba50c9ce2428fa.r2.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pub-185eb94565314928b6ba50c9ce2428fa.r2.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pub-185eb94565314928b6ba50c9ce2428fa.r2.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:34:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, pub-185eb94565314928b6ba50c9ce2428fa.r2.dev, is flagged as an active credential harvesting phishing infrastructure designed to deceive users into disclosing sensitive authentication details. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate login portals, likely targeting corporate or financial service credentials, with a focus on evading detection through low-profile hosting and rapid deployment tactics. The threat actor appears to leverage Cloudflare’s R2 object storage to host malicious content while maintaining a seemingly benign front, a common evasion technique observed in modern phishing campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain is registered through Cloudflare R2 and resolves to the IP address 104.18.50.34, associated with AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) in the United States. Despite its active status, the domain has not yet been flagged by VirusTotal, showing 0 detections out of 95 security engines. However, it appears on two independent security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and OpenPhish, suggesting confirmed malicious activity. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt (serial number prefix E8), a common choice for threat actors due to its free and automated issuance process. No creation date is publicly available, but the domain’s recent appearance on blocklists indicates it is likely a newly deployed phishing resource. Users who have visited pub-185eb94565314928b6ba50c9ce2428fa.r2.dev or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action to mitigate potential compromise. First, revoke any credentials submitted through the domain and enable multi-factor authentication on all associated accounts. Monitor financial and corporate accounts for unauthorized activity, as stolen credentials may be exploited within hours of disclosure. Additionally, scan local devices for malware, as some phishing pages deploy secondary payloads. Organizations should block the domain and its resolving IP (104.18.50.34) at the network perimeter and update endpoint protection rules to prevent further access. Given the domain’s low detection rate on VirusTotal, traditional signature-based defenses may not yet recognize it, necessitating proactive blocking based on blocklist intelligence. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c105da23200667081f91b7c476f1bde9 TLS cert SHA-256: a7d73cf57253857ea0369aef51d03b8bfec991d66c420507d76c7c2e4d217189 ## 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/pub-185eb94565314928b6ba50c9ce2428fa.r2.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pub-185eb94565314928b6ba50c9ce2428fa.r2.dev 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.
