Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies takedown-alert.info as an active fake security-alert phishing site posing as a legitimate takedown notice. The domain is engineered to deceive users into believing their domain or service has been flagged for illegal activity, coercing them into clicking malicious links or downloading malware under the guise of resolving the supposed issue. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with an elevated risk rating and confirmed as a generic phishing threat. According to verified intelligence, the domain resolves to IP 172.67.149.104 and was registered on April 19, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. VirusTotal reports 4 out of 95 security vendors detected malicious activity, while Google Safe Browsing classifies the site under SOCIAL_ENGINEERING. Additionally, the domain holds a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and appears on one known security blocklist, including a block by InversionDNS. These combined indicators strongly suggest a coordinated, short-lived campaign leveraging fresh infrastructure to maximize deception. To mitigate exposure to this threat, users should avoid clicking links from unsolicited security alerts, especially those claiming domain takedowns. Ensure your DNS resolver blocks known malicious domains using services like InversionDNS or similar threat intelligence feeds. If you accessed this domain, do not enter any credentials or download files. Run a full antivirus scan and revoke any potentially exposed session tokens. Report the domain to your email provider and domain registrar if used in phishing emails to aid in global takedown efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260423-680123 Favicon MD5: 9f33212b5ee70133ab3ed86ca00cc3b3 TLS cert SHA-256: 81b96f96ddaf53b7e1a3055f7ab3cddd805122dcb1487c83be23860bdd08358f ## 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/takedown-alert.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=takedown-alert.info 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.
