# PhishDestroy threat dossier — regent-bank.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-24 19:37:11 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/regent-bank.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 69/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Ermes, Fortinet Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.139.32 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ignacio.ns.cloudflare.com, phoenix.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-26 Page title: Private Crypto Banking ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-25 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 3a1c28aa5ac3eed7f15f12a0a621a2af1d0b3d52b871a50b445e1459d6f62053 ## 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: 2026-04-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-03 21:12:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-03 18:56:12 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-24 20:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:32:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019def08-5f5e-709c-b27b-a197e62aeec9/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/178c3416-a8e4-422d-9797-e70c9b5af124 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/regent-bank.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.regent-bank.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=regent-bank.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/regent-bank.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/regent-bank.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-03 21:13:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies regent-bank.net as an active banking phishing domain posing as a legitimate banking portal. The domain is categorized under an elevated risk level due to its specific intent: harvesting banking credentials through a fraudulent login interface. Attackers often mirror legitimate bank interfaces to trick users into entering sensitive financial information, which is then exploited for unauthorized transactions or sold on dark web markets. This domain should be considered dangerous for any interaction involving login credentials or payment details. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with the following technical indicators: VirusTotal shows 2 out of 95 security vendors detecting this domain as malicious, indicating a low but noteworthy detection rate. The domain was registered on April 26, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar known for accommodating high-risk domains. The domain resolves to IP address 172.67.139.32, a Cloudflare IP associated with dynamic hosting environments frequently leveraged by phishing campaigns. The SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt suggests an attempt to appear legitimate, but this alone does not guarantee safety, as phishers commonly exploit free SSL certificates to gain user trust. No additional blocklist data was provided, but the combination of recent registration, low detection rate, and hosting provider raises significant concerns. To mitigate risks associated with fake banking login phishing domains like regent-bank.net, users should avoid clicking on unsolicited links, especially those claiming to direct to banking portals. Always navigate directly to the official website by typing the URL manually or using a verified bookmark. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on banking accounts to add an extra layer of security. Use a phishing detection tool like PhishDestroy to verify suspicious domains before entering any credentials. If credentials were accidentally entered, immediately change passwords and contact the bank to report the incident. Organizations should monitor DNS and network traffic for connections to known malicious IPs or domains to prevent credential theft within their networks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260503-6CD54D Favicon MD5: a2bd7298aea9971e039fc01c3a944f0d TLS cert SHA-256: 3a1c28aa5ac3eed7f15f12a0a621a2af1d0b3d52b871a50b445e1459d6f62053 ## 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/regent-bank.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=regent-bank.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
