# PhishDestroy threat dossier — spx99x.icu ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 21:01:38 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/spx99x.icu/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Google ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, LevelBlue Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 142.251.156.119 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS15169 GOOGLE - Google LLC, US Hosting org: AS13335 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: gordon.ns.cloudflare.com, heidi.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-02 Expires: 2027-07-02 Page title: Google ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 71aa09012e641775f47882927b489a34365479ee75c3940d82d5ff93dc6984ba ## 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: 2026-07-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-03 03:46:55 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-03 01:48:12 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-03 18:17:35 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f25a7-8d82-765d-95bd-081248d07bf7/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/0666e3ca-a791-4d4d-b2f8-e7d8c102ef17 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/spx99x.icu crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.spx99x.icu Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=spx99x.icu AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/spx99x.icu URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/spx99x.icu/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-03 03:54:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, spx99x.icu, is flagged for brand impersonation targeting Google, a high-value target for credential theft and fraudulent activity. The site mimics Google’s interface, including visual elements and page title, to deceive users into entering sensitive information such as login credentials or personal data. Given the domain’s design and infrastructure, it is likely intended to harvest user data for malicious purposes, including account takeovers or further social engineering attacks. The use of Google’s branding increases the likelihood of successful deception, particularly among users who may not scrutinize URLs or SSL certificates closely. Analysis indicates this domain was registered on July 02, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar often associated with high-risk domains. Despite its recent creation, the site has not yet been flagged by security vendors, as evidenced by a 0/95 detection rate on VirusTotal. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and employs technologies such as particles.js, reCAPTCHA, jsDelivr, and Cloudflare Browser Insights, which are commonly used in legitimate sites but can also be leveraged to enhance the appearance of authenticity. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, further mimicking legitimate Google properties. These technical indicators suggest an attempt to create a convincing facade while evading initial detection by security tools. Users who have visited spx99x.icu should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. First, avoid entering any credentials or personal information on the site. If any data was already submitted, reset passwords for Google accounts and any other services where the same credentials may have been reused. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all critical accounts to add an additional layer of security. Monitor accounts for suspicious activity, such as unauthorized logins or changes to settings. Additionally, consider running a full scan of the device used to access the site to detect any potential malware or unwanted software that may have been installed. Reporting the domain to Google’s abuse team and security vendors can help prevent further exploitation of other users. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260703-C7BDB9 Favicon MD5: a314da9f659a273c951c5a8b0ab4a46a TLS cert SHA-256: 71aa09012e641775f47882927b489a34365479ee75c3940d82d5ff93dc6984ba ## 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/spx99x.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=spx99x.icu 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.
