# PhishDestroy threat dossier — rpc-update.app ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 22:03:15 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/rpc-update.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: alphaMountain.ai, ESET, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, PhishFort, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 14 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 185.255.122.89 (UA, Kyiv) ASN: AS30860 Virtual Systems LLC Hosting org: BeeHosted - Internet Services & Hosting Provider Registrar: Gransy s.r.o. d/b/a subreg.cz Nameservers: rocket1.freednsdedi.com, rocket2.freednsdedi.com Registered: 2026-04-13 Expires: 2027-04-13 Page title: RPC Browser - Loading... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-11 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b7b0d8bb929f9ea2187f09701418b37b442d31729607e1d965d890b6cfad7791 ## 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: 2026-04-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-27 10:02:16 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-27 08:05:36 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-27 10:04:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0818-746e-7232-b256-5100d01a2782/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8b762a96-7065-457a-ab41-1c65426f5de1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/rpc-update.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.rpc-update.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=rpc-update.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/rpc-update.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/rpc-update.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-27 10:04:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk credential phishing endpoint designed to harvest user authentication credentials. Analysis indicates the infrastructure was specifically engineered to mimic legitimate remote procedure call (RPC) update mechanisms, a common tactic to deceive enterprise and cloud service users into divulging sensitive login details. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain rpc-update.app was registered through Gransy s.r.o. d/b/a subreg.cz and resolved to the IP address 185.255.122.89. The domain was created on April 13, 2026, and has been flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. Current status indicates the domain has been taken offline, though historical resolution data and registrar information remain critical for tracking related threat actor activity. No additional blocklist or trust score data is available at this time, but the low detection rate suggests either evasion techniques or recent deployment. Mitigation steps for credential phishing threats include immediate blocking of the domain and associated IP address across all network security controls. Organizations should conduct retrospective log analysis to identify any prior connections to 185.255.122.89 or rpc-update.app, particularly focusing on authentication logs. Users who may have interacted with the domain should be prompted to reset credentials via secure, out-of-band methods. Security teams are advised to monitor for similar domains registered through the same registrar or resolving to the same IP range, as these may indicate related phishing campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260627-C7680E Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: b7b0d8bb929f9ea2187f09701418b37b442d31729607e1d965d890b6cfad7791 ## 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/rpc-update.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rpc-update.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.
