# PhishDestroy threat dossier — rubic.to ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-20 21:49:10 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/rubic.to/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registrar: Government of Kingdom of Tonga Nameservers: ["a.dnspod.com", "b.dnspod.com", "c.dnspod.com"] Registered: 2026-06-09 Expires: 2028-06-09 ## 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: 2026-06-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-10 14:37:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 12:59:06 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-20 20:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-11 03:46:09 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb197-1ee7-753d-b092-cef4e24fb603/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/fd6fd0e2-f9cb-4994-8e0a-e01aa9548559 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/rubic.to crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.rubic.to Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=rubic.to AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/rubic.to URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/rubic.to/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 12:09:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies rubic.to as an elevated risk domain due to its involvement in credential theft, a specific threat type that targets sensitive user information. This domain was flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a notable level of malicious activity. Registered through the Government of Kingdom of Tonga, rubic.to's credibility is further compromised by its current offline status, suggesting it may have been taken down due to its illicit activities. Although specific details such as IP, creation date, and blocklists are not available, the VirusTotal detection rate and the nature of its registration raise significant concerns. To mitigate the risks associated with credential theft, users are advised to be cautious with links and emails that prompt them to enter sensitive information. Since rubic.to is currently offline, the immediate risk has been mitigated. However, similar domains may emerge, and vigilance is key. PhishDestroy recommends regularly updating security software, using strong and unique passwords, and enabling two-factor authentication to protect against credential theft and other cyber threats. By taking these proactive steps, individuals can significantly reduce their exposure to such threats and safeguard their personal data.

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/rubic.to/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rubic.to 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.
