# PhishDestroy threat dossier — sae23e2s.cfd ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-26 10:07:17 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/sae23e2s.cfd/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 82/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 20/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CRDF, CSIS Security Group, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, MalwareURL, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot, Yandex Safebrowsing URLQuery: 100 detections AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.215.156 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot LLC Nameservers: anton.ns.cloudflare.com, lilyana.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2026-12-09 Page title: Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none 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: 2026-02-14 12:10:57 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-26 08:21:22 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 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/019c5670-2bca-748c-8aaf-4d7042066b91/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/abb88881-f774-406b-9169-f9e2f72cd257 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sae23e2s.cfd crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sae23e2s.cfd Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sae23e2s.cfd AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sae23e2s.cfd URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sae23e2s.cfd/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 21:27:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] sae23e2s.cfd: Fake Cloudflare Block Page Phishing Lure Detected This domain, sae23e2s.cfd, is flagged as an active generic phishing threat designed to mimic legitimate security warning pages. Analysis indicates the site presents itself as a Cloudflare block page with the title 'Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare,' a common tactic to deceive users into believing the site is a legitimate security barrier. No specific brand impersonation or drainer kit signatures have been identified, but the infrastructure aligns with opportunistic credential harvesting campaigns targeting unsuspecting visitors. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators of compromise. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Dynadot LLC, an unusually future-dated creation that may suggest bulk registration or domain generation algorithm usage. It resolves to IP address 172.67.215.156, hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.), leveraging the provider’s network to mask its origin. VirusTotal reports 20 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, while it appears on a single security blocklist. The absence of an SSL certificate further undermines its legitimacy, as modern phishing sites typically employ TLS to appear authentic. Current status remains active, with no takedown or mitigation observed. The domain’s use of Cloudflare infrastructure complicates attribution and disruption efforts, as the IP address hosts multiple legitimate and malicious sites. Users are advised to treat any interaction with sae23e2s.cfd as a high-risk event, particularly if prompted for credentials or personal information. Organizations should implement DNS-based blocking for the domain and IP, monitor for related indicators, and educate users on recognizing fabricated security warnings. Despite its elevated risk level, the domain’s limited blocklist presence suggests it may still evade detection in some environments, warranting proactive defensive measures. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260214-9E68CB ## 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/sae23e2s.cfd/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sae23e2s.cfd 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.
