# PhishDestroy threat dossier — stemguard-verify.world ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-20 15:24:06 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/stemguard-verify.world/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 94/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Fortinet, Kaspersky, Netcraft URLQuery: 2 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: ada.ns.cloudflare.com, everton.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-06 Expires: 2027-05-06 Page title: Sign In HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ecb3b53d0f6710f8d639fb828e22d9275a08b8ae9cb4743b51c8c37dfde658ca ## 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: 2026-05-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-07 15:45:02 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-07 12:43:55 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-20 17:00:09 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-12 02:44:19 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e0275-2ea7-77d8-89a1-2119ce67de88/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/3d11b616-c6f9-4710-b4c7-bd941c96f330 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/stemguard-verify.world crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.stemguard-verify.world Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=stemguard-verify.world AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/stemguard-verify.world URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/stemguard-verify.world/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-07 15:48:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies stemguard-verify.world as a high-risk credential phishing domain targeting unsuspecting users with a fake 'Sign In' page. This domain mimics legitimate authentication portals to harvest login credentials, posing a severe risk to account security. The infrastructure lacks legitimate branding but employs deceptive design to trick victims into surrendering sensitive information. No confirmed drainer kit or specific brand impersonation has been linked to this domain at this time. This domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. VirusTotal reports a detection ratio of 9/95 security vendors, indicating significant malicious reputation. The domain was created on May 06, 2026, and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for added legitimacy. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) and multiple blocklists have flagged this domain, though it remains accessible. These combined indicators confirm active malicious operations. As of this assessment, stemguard-verify.world is still active and distributing phishing content. Immediate actions include blocking the domain at network and endpoint levels, and educating users to avoid submitting credentials on unverified pages. While the domain is currently live, proactive blocking and awareness can mitigate further compromise. Remaining risk is high due to active operation and low time-in-market, which suggests rapid evolution of tactics. Users should treat this domain as hostile and refrain from interaction. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260507-2682FD Favicon MD5: 231913fdebabcbe65f4b0052372bde56 TLS cert SHA-256: ecb3b53d0f6710f8d639fb828e22d9275a08b8ae9cb4743b51c8c37dfde658ca ## 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/stemguard-verify.world/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=stemguard-verify.world 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.
