# PhishDestroy threat dossier — serafdev.pro ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-28 11:22:23 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/serafdev.pro/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 65/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, SOCRadar ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["desiree.ns.cloudflare.com", "bradley.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-11 Expires: 2027-04-09 Page title: Seraf Exchange ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: bcf3e11cbd6b22759e6c25e928977c4cbe148eb8b963f1767924e046dfcac4f0 ## 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: 2026-04-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-11 21:11:44 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-11 19:00:35 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-22 19:40:20 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-21 22:03:14 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d7dbd-48c0-71df-96a8-88bb40ea6fe3/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b08d85f3-d3dd-4bf2-ab9d-493aa5c1a3af Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/serafdev.pro crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.serafdev.pro Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=serafdev.pro AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/serafdev.pro URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/serafdev.pro/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-11 21:12:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies serafdev.pro as a domain currently under evaluation for generic phishing activity, with strong indicators suggesting potential involvement in crypto drainer operations targeting unsuspecting users. While the specific drainer kit remains unconfirmed, the domain's recent registration and lack of detections demand heightened scrutiny from security teams. The absence of brand impersonation patterns suggests opportunistic rather than targeted attacks, but the low detection rate warrants caution. This domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on April 09, 2026. VirusTotal currently shows 0/95 detections, indicating it remains undetected by most security vendors. The SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt suggests an attempt to appear legitimate, though this is a common tactic among malicious domains. No entries in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) or other public blocklists were found at the time of analysis, leaving potential victims exposed. The domain's recent creation further complicates tracking, as historical threat intelligence is limited. The current status of serafdev.pro is active and under investigation, with no definitive classification as a confirmed threat at this time. Security teams are advised to block the domain and IP at the network perimeter while monitoring for emerging patterns. Until additional evidence surfaces, the risk remains moderate but escalating—particularly for users interacting with crypto-related services. Immediate blocking, user awareness alerts, and sandbox analysis of the domain's payloads are recommended to mitigate potential exposure. The low VT score suggests this may be a fresh campaign awaiting broader detection. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260411-F2AA90 Favicon MD5: 7ff2bf0c57344bfa7bde3bf50b4c76e2 TLS cert SHA-256: bcf3e11cbd6b22759e6c25e928977c4cbe148eb8b963f1767924e046dfcac4f0 ## 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/serafdev.pro/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=serafdev.pro 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.
