Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies seohux.com as a potential threat under active investigation for impersonating SEO toolkits to deceive users into entering sensitive information or downloading malicious files. This domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 and was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on April 21, 2026. While currently undetected by 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, the domain’s recent creation and use of a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate suggest it may be leveraged for phishing campaigns targeting users searching for SEO tools. This domain poses a concrete threat by masquerading as a legitimate SEO toolkit, a common tactic used by threat actors to harvest user credentials, distribute malware, or deploy browser-based attacks. The domain’s lack of detections on VirusTotal is not indicative of its safety, as phishing domains often fly under the radar until they are widely reported. The registration through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar known for bulk domain registrations, further raises suspicions about its legitimacy. Additionally, the domain’s recent creation date—April 21, 2026—suggests it may be part of a newly launched campaign, which is typical for threat actors seeking to exploit unsuspecting users before security tools catch up. If you have visited seohux.com, avoid entering any personal or financial information, and do not download any files from the site. Disconnect from the internet temporarily to prevent potential data exfiltration and scan your device with updated antivirus software. Report the domain to your organization’s security team or to PhishDestroy if you suspect malicious activity. Stay vigilant and cross-check URLs before clicking, especially when searching for tools or services online. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260427-B747B2 Favicon MD5: c3d9e7ac8ad834ae3d129c8c7a595a4f TLS cert SHA-256: 4674c554bb684a27db272cb4d1c07cec8999c168f2f15bbef31ffa060203fcf4 ## 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/seohux.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=seohux.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
