# PhishDestroy threat dossier — starfhelp.icu ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 23:25:04 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/starfhelp.icu/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 52/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Gridinsoft AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.20.132 (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: ["braden.ns.cloudflare.com", "veronica.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-09 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 57f3770e3b2362d3c918acf2552a67477caa4bf90c2f27f7fb68fd0d8dc3da9f ## 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: 2026-05-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-09 11:30:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-09 15:28:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 17:01:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies starfhelp.icu as a high-risk domain due to its involvement in credential theft, a specific threat type that targets users' sensitive information. This domain was flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and its registration through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, along with its IP address 104.21.20.132, and creation date of May 09, 2026, raise concerns. The domain also appears on 1 security blocklist and has been found in 1 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, further indicating its malicious nature. The domain's SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt / E8 and its current offline status do not diminish the risk it poses, as it can be easily reactivated or replicated. With a history of malicious activity, including being flagged by security vendors and blocklists, users must be cautious when encountering this domain. To mitigate the risks associated with starfhelp.icu, users should be vigilant when providing credentials online, ensuring they are on legitimate websites, and keeping their antivirus software up to date. By taking these precautions, users can protect themselves from the threats posed by this credential theft domain, and similar malicious sites, thereby safeguarding their sensitive information and maintaining their online security. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 57f3770e3b2362d3c918acf2552a67477caa4bf90c2f27f7fb68fd0d8dc3da9f ## 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/starfhelp.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=starfhelp.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.
