No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-20 18:05:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-26 16:20:29 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f8045-20fe-72de-a80c-f21ab41f8ae5/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/register-pons.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.register-pons.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=register-pons.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/register-pons.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/register-pons.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-20 18:06:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] register-pons.com — Phishing Investigation Report This domain, register-pons.com, was registered on 15 July 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently active. The authoritative nameservers are coraline.ns.cloudflare.com and lamar.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating use of Cloudflare’s DNS service. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 188.114.97.3, a host that appears in public blocklists; the domain is listed on at least one security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service. On 20 July 2026 the domain was submitted to VirusTotal, where 95 antivirus and URL‑reputation engines examined the site and none reported a detection. While the absence of detections does not prove the site is benign, it confirms that automated scanners have not yet identified malicious payloads associated with the domain. No public SSL certificate details, HTTP status codes, page title, or brand‑target information are presently available, leaving the exact phishing vector and lure undefined. The limited observable infrastructure—Cloudflare nameservers and a single IP address—matches patterns often used by short‑lived phishing campaigns that rely on reputable DNS providers to evade reputation‑based blocks. Defenders should treat register-pons.com as a potential phishing host pending further analysis. Immediate actions include adding the domain to DNS blocklists, configuring web‑proxy filters to deny traffic to 188.114.97.3, and monitoring outbound connections for any attempts to resolve the domain. Continuous re‑scanning on VirusTotal or similar platforms is advised, as threat actors may upload malicious content after the initial clean scan. Analysts should also watch for related domains registered by the same registrar or using the same nameserver pair, as they may represent a broader campaign. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 116e8915d9589d5330723a2b2bf43b101d08f97dc0d40e5f7bbe85f8bf6ff4ac ## 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/register-pons.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=register-pons.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
