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: 2026-06-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 18:44:02 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-19 12:20:44 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:14:29 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed676-a025-700b-bb92-8aceb1f11b79/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/register-archer.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.register-archer.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=register-archer.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/register-archer.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/register-archer.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 17:10:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies register-archer.com as a domain posing a brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting the Airdrop Scam brand, and it is currently offline. This domain was flagged by 6 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, which indicates a significant level of malicious activity, and it was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, resolving to the IP address 172.67.222.59, and it was created on June 13, 2026, furthermore, it appears on 1 security blocklist, highlighting the severity of the threat it poses. The domain's malicious nature is further emphasized by its page title, $ARCH Airdrop // Archer Exchange, which clearly indicates its intention to deceive users, and with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, it may appear legitimate at first glance, however, the fact that it was taken offline and appears on a security blocklist suggests that its malicious activities have been detected, and users should be cautious when encountering similar domains. Given the current status of register-archer.com as offline, it is likely that its malicious activities have been disrupted, however, users should still be vigilant and exercise caution when encountering similar domains, as they may be part of a larger campaign to deceive and manipulate users, and it is essential to verify the legitimacy of any domain before engaging with it, especially those that promise lucrative rewards or incentives, such as Airdrop Scams, to avoid falling victim to brand impersonation threats like the one posed by register-archer.com. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: d25e9f3996ffe075ce6294e1c783cbcbd9f0eca9675773692997efee9423c4bb ## 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/register-archer.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=register-archer.com 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.
