# PhishDestroy threat dossier — smartcontrolengineer.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-21 19:41:58 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/smartcontrolengineer.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 79/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 18/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Certego, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Viettel Threat Intelligence, VIPRE, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 5 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 88.80.17.227 (SE, Stockholm) Hosting org: AS33837 Fredrik Holmqvist Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: ns1.killaz.top, ns1.smartcontrolengineer.com, ns2.killaz.top, ns2.smartcontrolengineer.com Registered: 2026-06-25 Expires: 2027-06-25 HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-10-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b7ef3c5a830dd1ce7a24c47e152582cb2d57262b5160450ad591b0ee4ea21820 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.smartcontrolengineer.com ## 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: 2026-06-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-20 21:02:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-20 19:05:45 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-21 20:20:18 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-21 00:27:25 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f80e7-2370-776d-aaa8-8526d8f883a8/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9b7914d2-1471-4f87-877c-96c2d13a8bf5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/smartcontrolengineer.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.smartcontrolengineer.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=smartcontrolengineer.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/smartcontrolengineer.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/smartcontrolengineer.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-20 21:03:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] smartcontrolengineer.com Phishing Site Detected The domain smartcontrolengineer.com was registered on June 25, 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and remains active as of the report date, July 20, 2026. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to the IPv4 address 88.80.17.227 and is served by a mixed set of nameservers: ns1.killaz.top, ns2.killaz.top, ns1.smartcontrolengineer.com, and an incomplete ns2.smartcontrolengin entry. The presence of external nameservers (killaz.top) alongside a self‑referencing nameserver suggests a deliberate attempt to obscure hosting attribution and may indicate use of a compromised or rented server. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that at least one anti‑phishing feed has classified it as malicious. VirusTotal reports that 18 of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain, providing additional independent confirmation of its hostile nature. No additional intelligence such as SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, Safe Browsing verdicts, or page titles is presently available, leaving the exact content and targeted brand undefined. Defenders should therefore treat any traffic to smartcontrolengineer.com as high‑risk. Recommended actions include adding the domain to internal blocklists, monitoring DNS queries for the associated IP address 88.80.17.227, and extending proxy or firewall rules to deny outbound connections to the identified nameservers. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised; if further evidence such as page content or credential‑stealing behavior emerges, detection signatures should be updated accordingly. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260720-551746 TLS cert SHA-256: b7ef3c5a830dd1ce7a24c47e152582cb2d57262b5160450ad591b0ee4ea21820 ## 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/smartcontrolengineer.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=smartcontrolengineer.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.
