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: 2026-03-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-28 00:56:46 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-03-28 01:55:45 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-23 07:41:05 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 02:14:21 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d3149-7500-757f-a5bb-0cb3d71ec2a2/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/96a4d812-4206-4196-ae67-a78eae87b54a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/rvardun.sale crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.rvardun.sale Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=rvardun.sale AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/rvardun.sale URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/rvardun.sale/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-28 00:58:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies rvardun.sale as an active phishing domain impersonating Harvard University's brand to deceive users seeking discounted academic merchandise or services. The domain leverages Harvard’s reputation to deliver credential-stealing content, posing a concrete threat to unsuspecting visitors. As of the latest assessment, this domain remains active and under investigation, with evidence suggesting it is part of a broader campaign targeting educational institution impersonations. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating limited detection coverage despite its active status. Registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, rvardun.sale resolves to IP 188.114.96.3, which is associated with suspicious hosting infrastructure. The domain was created on December 22, 2025, and currently holds a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, adding a misleading veneer of legitimacy. Notably, the IP address 188.114.96.3 is also linked to low trust scores across threat intelligence platforms, further corroborating its malicious intent. Given the active status and high risk of credential theft or malware delivery, users are strongly advised to avoid accessing rvardun.sale under any circumstances. Organizations should block the domain at the network level and report it to relevant authorities, such as the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) or local cybersecurity units. Additionally, users who may have interacted with the site should immediately change passwords for any accounts exposed during the visit and enable multi-factor authentication where possible. Continuous monitoring of this domain is recommended due to its evolving tactics and the potential for broader dissemination across phishing campaigns. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260328-113001 Favicon MD5: a4aee2454e81cb73a9778515ee2816cb TLS cert SHA-256: 6272650778f0a994453877c6ae81eea7f668fe31053305749b70e61719aa28c9 ## 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/rvardun.sale/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rvardun.sale 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.
