# PhishDestroy threat dossier — register-cap.app ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 06:26:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/register-cap.app/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (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.

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: 2026-06-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 16:10:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 14:55:25 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:18:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e8f-9f3c-7499-9b2a-1520c40f619e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6d2f6b5c-9edd-484d-8abd-9bfd669d4dc9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/register-cap.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.register-cap.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=register-cap.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/register-cap.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/register-cap.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 17:45:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] register-cap.app poses a high risk as an active generic phishing domain. The site is designed to deceive users, potentially harvesting credentials or sensitive information. The presence of a generic 'New Private Tab' page title is indicative of common phishing landing tactics, aiming to gain user trust or mask malicious intent. The domain remains operational and has been blocked by multiple security controls, underscoring its threat potential. Technical analysis reveals several strong indicators of compromise. The domain was registered on June 16, 2026, using NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED as the registrar. It currently resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3. An SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services is present, likely to impart a false sense of legitimacy. The domain has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, reflecting extremely low trustworthiness. VirusTotal shows that 6 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious. Additionally, register-cap.app appears on two security blocklists and is referenced in two threat intelligence pulses. Both MetaMask and SEAL have blocked access to this domain, further affirming its malicious nature. To mitigate the risk posed by register-cap.app, organizations should immediately block the domain and its associated IP address at the network perimeter. Security teams are advised to update URL filtering and threat intelligence feeds to include this indicator. End users should be educated on the dangers of interacting with unsolicited web links and taught to recognize signs of phishing, such as unfamiliar domains and generic page titles. Continuous monitoring for connections to this domain is recommended to identify and remediate any compromise resulting from user exposure. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 6/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-8BFA7B Favicon MD5: d9f1ffbac0172eaca81fdbaac2f56ae4 TLS cert SHA-256: 354fa05fff06f8bb4fb0a9d411ed46f0babcbe51c398ee5220455fdade51b1c2 ## 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-cap.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=register-cap.app 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.
