# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ridgefundasteadai.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 20:46:12 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ridgefundasteadai.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 63/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain URLQuery: 1 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.171.221 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 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. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: chloe.ns.cloudflare.com, margo.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-28 Expires: 2027-05-28 Page title: Ridge Fundastead AI | Official Platform for AI Assisted Trading ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-08-26 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: dbf36608a7ec0ed3349069430f7a631b2c3e52c9b0d1112d7a5ee1e97314dff6 ## 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: 2026-05-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 02:17:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 01:40:54 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-10 00:19:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e804f-cd1c-722e-9f45-1da9c8c0632b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/89842c7f-d1d1-49f1-9e28-d57bceaa1d68 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ridgefundasteadai.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ridgefundasteadai.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ridgefundasteadai.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ridgefundasteadai.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ridgefundasteadai.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 03:12:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, ridgefundasteadai.live, is flagged as a credential theft operation targeting users through a fraudulent AI-assisted trading platform. Analysis of the page title, "Ridge Fundastead AI | Official Platform for AI Assisted Trading," indicates an attempt to impersonate a legitimate investment service, likely to harvest login credentials or financial information under the guise of automated trading tools. No direct association with known crypto drainer kits was observed, but the infrastructure aligns with credential harvesting tactics commonly used in financial fraud schemes. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 172.67.171.221 and was registered on May 28, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites. VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 engines, suggesting the domain has not yet been widely flagged. It appears on one security blocklist and is currently blocked by at least one threat intelligence feed. Detected technologies include Unpkg, jsDelivr, jQuery, IPinfo, Cloudflare Browser Insights, and Cloudflare, with HTTP/3 support, indicating modern web infrastructure likely used to evade detection. As of the latest assessment, ridgefundasteadai.live has been taken offline, reducing immediate exposure risk. However, the domain's recent registration date and use of Cloudflare suggest potential for rapid redeployment. Users who interacted with the site should assume credential compromise and initiate password resets for any associated accounts. Organizations should monitor for similar domains registered through the same registrar and resolve to the same IP range, as this infrastructure may be reused for future campaigns. The lack of detections on VirusTotal underscores the need for proactive monitoring of newly registered domains with financial or AI-related themes. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260601-280DF1 Favicon MD5: 51ef3b344a3491ba956860bebe8eaef0 TLS cert SHA-256: dbf36608a7ec0ed3349069430f7a631b2c3e52c9b0d1112d7a5ee1e97314dff6 ## 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/ridgefundasteadai.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ridgefundasteadai.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.
