# PhishDestroy threat dossier — softwin.it.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 00:42:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/softwin.it.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 68/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Intis Telecom Limited Nameservers: ["ns1.it.com", "ns2.it.com", "ns3.it.com"] Registered: 2026-04-27 Page title: Your Download Is Ready! ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-06-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 89d7a87d34d5933031ed486b9e8dc1c7df8433f06b551b10d0109a24064a7fca ## 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: 2026-04-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-27 19:47:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-27 19:47:05 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-29 00:02:24 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dcfd5-874a-705e-8c8e-3030f8f8b0c6/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/softwin.it.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.softwin.it.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=softwin.it.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/softwin.it.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/softwin.it.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-27 19:47:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies softwin.it.com as an active phishing domain impersonating software update services to distribute malicious payloads. This domain employs a generic phishing tactic with no direct association to any legitimate software vendor, suggesting a standalone campaign designed to deceive users into downloading counterfeit updates. The infrastructure lacks affiliation with known drainer kits or brand impersonation, indicating a potentially opportunistic operation targeting unsuspecting users seeking software enhancements. The domain’s naming convention mimics legitimate update portals, leveraging the 'softwin.it' prefix to exploit typographical confusion with 'Softwin,' a known security software provider. This domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and operates under an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may enhance its credibility to users checking for HTTPS indicators. VirusTotal currently records a detection score of 0/95, with no security vendors flagging the domain or its associated IP at the time of analysis. The domain’s registration details and creation date remain unverified in public databases, though its active status suggests recent deployment. Given the absence of blocklist entries and low detection rate, this phishing campaign poses a latent risk, particularly to users relying solely on automated detection tools for threat assessment. As of the latest assessment, softwin.it.com remains active and unblocked by major threat intelligence platforms, including Google Safe Browsing (GSB). The domain’s low detection score and lack of affiliation with known malicious infrastructures underscore the need for proactive user vigilance. Security researchers are advised to monitor this domain for emerging indicators, such as shifts in hosting infrastructure or the integration of drainer kits. Users are strongly encouraged to verify software sources via official channels and employ endpoint protection to mitigate potential compromise. The residual risk associated with this domain is classified as 'under_investigation,' pending further forensic analysis and potential takedown actions. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: ffeceefb13a4f6c0950eae1779af2f4a TLS cert SHA-256: 89d7a87d34d5933031ed486b9e8dc1c7df8433f06b551b10d0109a24064a7fca ## 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/softwin.it.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=softwin.it.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.
