Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain remittixrefund.live is identified as a high-risk phishing threat. Its primary purpose appears to be fraudulent activities under the guise of processing refunds. The site is misleadingly titled 'Remittix — Refund Claim', which may be used to deceive users into submitting personal or financial information. Such phishing sites are typically designed to exploit users’ trust by imitating legitimate refund claim processes. Several technical indicators support this assessment. The domain resolves to IP address 216.198.79.1 and has been flagged in AlienVault's Open Threat Exchange (OTX) in one threat intelligence pulse. Furthermore, VirusTotal reports that 2 out of 95 security vendors currently flag this domain as malicious, which corroborates its role in phishing activities. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and was created on June 26, 2026, which is in the future, suggesting the data may be incorrect or manipulated, adding to the domain’s suspicious nature. Users who have visited remittixrefund.live should immediately scan their systems for malware and review any recent financial transactions for unauthorized activity. It is critical they do not provide any sensitive information on this site and should report the domain to relevant authorities. Additionally, users are advised to enhance their cybersecurity measures by using comprehensive security solutions that include phishing protection. Remaining vigilant and informed can help mitigate the risks posed by such phishing domains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-920FD5 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 3e30878589cb5ccdb8d709e81bac21852c1022a31a9c92ba5360d4f44492d8c4 ## 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/remittixrefund.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=remittixrefund.live 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.
