# PhishDestroy threat dossier — rustendpoint.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-26 01:08:04 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/rustendpoint.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 79/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 18/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Phishing Database, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 13 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 185.178.208.170 (RU, Rostov-na-Donu) ASN: ASAS57724 DDOS-GUARD LTD Hosting org: AS57724 DDOS-GUARD LTD Registrar: Web Commerce Communications Limited Nameservers: ns1.ddos-guard.net, ns2.ddos-guard.net Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-01-24 Page title: Creator Hub - Rust Creation Toolkit ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Expires: 2026-04-23 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-24 23:50:21 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-26 00:21:43 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-14 16:30:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bf1c4-b483-72fb-b245-b800f09027b7/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/rustendpoint.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.rustendpoint.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=rustendpoint.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/rustendpoint.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/rustendpoint.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 22:16:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] rustendpoint.com Safety Check — Credential Harvesting Phishing This domain, rustendpoint.com, is identified as a credential harvesting phishing site designed to deceive users of the Rust programming ecosystem. Analysis indicates the site masquerades as a "Creator Hub" or "Rust Creation Toolkit," likely targeting developers, content creators, or community members associated with the Rust language or game. The intent is to trick visitors into entering sensitive login credentials, personal information, or financial details under the guise of accessing exclusive tools or resources. Such stolen data is commonly exploited for account takeovers, identity theft, or further targeted phishing campaigns within the developer community. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-confidence indicators of malicious activity. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Web Commerce Communications Limited, a registrar frequently associated with transient or low-reputation domains. It resolves to the IP address 185.178.208.170, hosted by AS57724 (DDOS-GUARD LTD) in Russia, a provider known for sheltering phishing and fraudulent infrastructure. At the time of assessment, 18 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, and it appears on two independent security blocklists. Notably, the site operates without an SSL certificate, a critical red flag for any platform handling user credentials, as it exposes all transmitted data to interception. Users who visited rustendpoint.com or entered any information on the site should take immediate action to mitigate risk. First, revoke any credentials entered on the site and update passwords on all platforms where the same or similar passwords were used. Enable multi-factor authentication wherever possible to add an additional layer of security. Monitor accounts for unauthorized access, unusual login attempts, or suspicious transactions. If financial or personally identifiable information was submitted, consider placing a fraud alert with relevant credit or identity monitoring services. Given the domain’s registration date in the future (2026), this may indicate typosquatting or a fabricated timeline, further underscoring its fraudulent nature. Users are advised to report the domain to their organization’s security team or relevant cybersecurity authorities to aid in broader threat containment efforts. ## 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/rustendpoint.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rustendpoint.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.
