# PhishDestroy threat dossier — sgscentre-dz.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 13:10:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/sgscentre-dz.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, URLQuery Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 102.220.31.74 (DZ, Beni Abbes) ASN: AS36947 Telecom Algeria Hosting org: Adex Technology Hosting Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: ns1.adexcloud.dz, ns2.adexcloud.dz, ns3.adexcloud.dz, ns4.adexcloud.dz Registered: 2016-04-13 Expires: 2027-04-13 Page title: SGS Centre Accueil HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-08-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: d058fc48da04fcc2f4275da9904bf7ed135c9df7133e5f35259f6649c486d58d Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - cpanel.sgscentre-dz.com - cpcalendars.sgscentre-dz.com - cpcontacts.sgscentre-dz.com - mail.sgscentre-dz.com - sgscentre-dz.com.102-220-31-74.cpanel.site - webdisk.sgscentre-dz.com - webmail.sgscentre-dz.com - www.sgscentre-dz.com - www.sgscentre-dz.com.102-220-31-74.cpanel.site ## 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: 2016-04-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 14:31:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 12:37:52 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 12:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-02 06:18:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1da7-bb90-707e-8df7-d730690afb66/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e6a62698-8370-4381-a1a0-e235adffd891 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sgscentre-dz.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sgscentre-dz.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sgscentre-dz.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sgscentre-dz.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sgscentre-dz.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 14:35:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, sgscentre-dz.com, is flagged for credential theft through brand impersonation of SGS Centre, a known certification and inspection entity. Analysis indicates the site mimics the legitimate SGS portal, likely to harvest login credentials from unsuspecting users accessing fraudulent verification or client portals. No crypto drainer kit signatures were observed, but the page title 'SGS Centre Accueil' aligns with targeted credential harvesting tactics. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on April 13, 2016, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and currently resolves to IP address 102.220.31.74. VirusTotal detection shows 3 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, providing a false sense of security. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) entries or additional blocklist hits were identified at the time of analysis, though this does not diminish the domain's confirmed malicious status. The domain remains active as of this report, with no takedown or sinkholing observed. Response actions should include immediate blocking of the domain and IP at the network perimeter, along with user awareness campaigns to highlight the risks of credential theft via brand impersonation. Despite the low vendor detection rate on VirusTotal, the domain's high-risk classification is justified by its targeted impersonation of a trusted entity. Organizations are advised to monitor for related phishing campaigns and enforce multi-factor authentication to mitigate credential exposure risks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-E9CEAE Favicon MD5: 53c94316f9f73128d6f199597fc6f919 TLS cert SHA-256: d058fc48da04fcc2f4275da9904bf7ed135c9df7133e5f35259f6649c486d58d ## 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/sgscentre-dz.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sgscentre-dz.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
