Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies start-com-web.pages.dev as an active browser hijacker phishing domain currently under investigation for malicious behavior. The site is distributing unauthorized browser modifications that redirect users to unwanted advertisements or collect sensitive browsing data without consent. The phishing payload is embedded in a Cloudflare Pages deployment, disguising the attack under a legitimate-looking subdomain of a trusted provider. This domain is associated with a high-risk redirection campaign targeting unsuspecting web users. This domain was flagged by 0 out of 95 VirusTotal detection engines as of the latest scan, indicating it has not yet been widely recognized by automated security systems. It is registered through Cloudflare, Inc., resolving to IP address 172.66.44.158 and secured with a Google Trust Services SSL certificate. While no definitive creation date is publicly available, its recent deployment and low detection rate suggest it is a newly active threat. The domain currently shows no presence on major blocklists and maintains moderate trust scores due to its use of reputable infrastructure providers. The threat remains active and evolving, leveraging trusted services to bypass traditional defenses. Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting start-com-web.pages.dev and to scan their devices for unauthorized browser extensions or modified settings. Security teams should monitor this domain for escalation and block it at the network level. Report suspicious activity to your browser vendor or security provider if encountered. Do not interact with any prompts or downloads originating from this site. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 983cbc2e5a841f2e1633cb41366e473c37aa79d7fbe272f106cf46a72889736e ## 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 (volunteer 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/start-com-web.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=start-com-web.pages.dev 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
