# PhishDestroy threat dossier — secure-chat.host ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 18:05:57 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/secure-chat.host/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 3.33.130.190 (CA, Montreal) ASN: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: AWS Global Accelerator (GLOBAL) Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ns15.domaincontrol.com, ns16.domaincontrol.com Registered: 2026-07-10 Expires: 2028-07-10 HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: GoDaddy.com / GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1 Expires: 2027-01-25 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: f0ffb7028d6168ff461c307693dfd0cbd747d06545b7505b0f5c65f0bb5a907e ## 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: 2026-07-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-12 13:20:00 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-12 21:17:31 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 18:14:04 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-13 18:14:04 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f560d-d45e-7207-9aad-a8cf9bfd9ec3/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/88f7ce64-f4df-4735-9b64-b1897a475235 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/secure-chat.host crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.secure-chat.host Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=secure-chat.host AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/secure-chat.host URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/secure-chat.host/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-12 13:52:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain secure-chat.host is currently under investigation for credential phishing, a specific type of threat that aims to steal user credentials through deceptive means. The risk level is marked as 'under investigation,' indicating that while there is suspicion, a comprehensive analysis is still ongoing. Analysis of the domain reveals that it was created on July 10, 2026, and is currently active. The domain is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and resolves to the IP address 3.33.130.190. The SSL certificate is issued by GoDaddy.com, which is a common provider and does not inherently indicate malicious intent. However, the use of reputable technologies such as Astro, Amazon Web Services, Google AdSense, Funding Choices, and Akamai can be indicative of an attempt to appear legitimate and trustworthy. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal has flagged the domain with 0/95 detections, suggesting that it has not been widely recognized as malicious by automated systems. The domain is not listed on major blocklists, and its trust score remains neutral, which can be misleading given the nature of credential phishing attacks. To mitigate the risk posed by secure-chat.host, users are advised to exercise caution when interacting with this domain. Organizations should update their phishing detection systems and filters to include this domain and its associated IP address. Employees should be educated on the signs of credential phishing, such as unexpected login prompts or requests for sensitive information. Additionally, implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) can significantly reduce the likelihood of credentials being compromised even if a user falls for the phishing attempt. Regularly monitoring for suspicious login activities and conducting security audits can also help in early detection and response to such threats. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-BC50E8 TLS cert SHA-256: f0ffb7028d6168ff461c307693dfd0cbd747d06545b7505b0f5c65f0bb5a907e ## 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/secure-chat.host/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=secure-chat.host 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.
