# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pub-a5d693aae13141eba692c69827d64a0f.r2.dev ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-14 14:54:54 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pub-a5d693aae13141eba692c69827d64a0f.r2.dev/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 88/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 17/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, Seclookup, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.18.54.45 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare R2 Registered: 2026-04-11 HTTP response: 404 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-11 05:30:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-14 16:20:45 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-11 06:25:11 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/aa951d15-1794-465b-b31a-a15421c851db Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pub-a5d693aae13141eba692c69827d64a0f.r2.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pub-a5d693aae13141eba692c69827d64a0f.r2.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pub-a5d693aae13141eba692c69827d64a0f.r2.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pub-a5d693aae13141eba692c69827d64a0f.r2.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pub-a5d693aae13141eba692c69827d64a0f.r2.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 21:36:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is identified as a high-risk credential phishing site designed to harvest login credentials, financial details, or other sensitive information from unsuspecting users. Phishing domains of this nature typically mimic legitimate services or organizations, employing social engineering tactics such as fake login portals, urgent alerts, or fraudulent payment requests to deceive visitors into disclosing confidential data. The site may also distribute malware or redirect users to additional malicious infrastructure, amplifying the potential for financial loss or identity theft. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on April 11, 2026, through Cloudflare R2, a platform often leveraged for its content delivery and storage capabilities, which can obscure the true origin of malicious activity. Detection metrics reveal significant security vendor consensus: 17 out of 95 engines on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, while four independent blocklists—PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, PhishingDB, and OISD—have explicitly listed it. Additionally, Google Safe Browsing categorizes the domain under 'SOCIAL_ENGINEERING,' further validating its phishing classification. The SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt, provides no inherent trustworthiness, as such certificates are routinely exploited by threat actors to lend a false sense of legitimacy to malicious sites. If you visited pub-a5d693aae13141eba692c69827d64a0f.r2.dev or interacted with its content, immediate action is required. Disconnect the affected device from the network to prevent potential lateral movement or data exfiltration. Run a full system scan using updated security tools to detect and remove any installed malware. Reset credentials for all accounts accessed from the device, prioritizing email, financial, and administrative accounts, and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Monitor accounts for unauthorized activity, and report the incident to relevant fraud prevention entities or cybersecurity response teams. If sensitive data was disclosed, consider notifying credit bureaus or identity protection services to mitigate long-term risks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c105da23200667081f91b7c476f1bde9 ## 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-a5d693aae13141eba692c69827d64a0f.r2.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pub-a5d693aae13141eba692c69827d64a0f.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.
