# PhishDestroy threat dossier — regional-vestnik.site ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-08-01 08:36:45 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/regional-vestnik.site/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 91/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 152.42.199.253 (SG, Singapore) ASN: ASAS14061 DIGITALOCEAN-ASN - DigitalOcean, LLC, US Hosting org: AS14061 DigitalOcean, LLC Registrar: Name.com, Inc. Nameservers: ns1glr.name.com, ns2btz.name.com, ns3gnv.name.com, ns4htz.name.com Registered: 2026-07-19 Expires: 2027-07-19 Page title: 404 Not Found HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-10-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 9903e8829faf86c95b1cbca7857a8222b5e9e95a997ac42e10aae2fe5a6693e7 ## 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: 2026-07-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-24 16:09:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-24 14:10:32 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-08-01 08:20:30 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-25 00:28:21 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f9474-fc69-714d-8f57-deacae4691bd/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/06e91be1-ceea-4b8f-9e24-30b43ca2595a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/regional-vestnik.site crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.regional-vestnik.site Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=regional-vestnik.site AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/regional-vestnik.site URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/regional-vestnik.site/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-24 16:09:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is regional-vestnik.site a Scam? regional-vestnik.site was registered through Name.com, Inc. on July 19 2026 and remains active as of the report date July 24 2026. DNS resolution points to the single IPv4 address 152.42.199.253, and the domain is served by four name servers (ns1glr.name.com, ns2btz.name.com, ns3gnv.name.com, ns4htz.name.com). The address has been flagged by the PhishDestroy mitigation service and appears on one external security blocklist, indicating that at least one trusted feed has observed malicious activity associated with the host. No additional public intelligence such as Safe Browsing or Open Threat Exchange entries is currently available, and no SSL certificate details or HTTP response codes have been published. The lack of visible page title or brand references limits the ability to confirm the exact phishing campaign or lure employed, so the precise payload or credential‑stealing technique remains unknown. Nevertheless, the combination of recent registration, single‑IP hosting, and active blocklist entries aligns with typical infrastructure used for short‑lived phishing campaigns. Defenders should consider adding regional-vestnik.site to local deny lists, enforce DNS sinkholing for the resolved IP, and monitor traffic for connections to 152.42.199.253. Continuous re‑query of reputation services is advised to detect any future changes, such as the appearance of additional detections or the deployment of SSL certificates. Given the active status and existing blocklist entry, the domain should be treated as high‑risk until further evidence proves otherwise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260724-B21906 TLS cert SHA-256: 9903e8829faf86c95b1cbca7857a8222b5e9e95a997ac42e10aae2fe5a6693e7 ## 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/regional-vestnik.site/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=regional-vestnik.site 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.
