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: 2025-09-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-23 19:22:15 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-23 17:31:47 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-24 00:01:54 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ef580-19c1-77fc-8a9c-982934731e98/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/4b411618-12ec-4e52-9504-9663cb773785 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/taostinworks.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.taostinworks.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=taostinworks.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/taostinworks.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/taostinworks.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 15:00:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain taostinworks.cc, associated with a generic scam, has a high threat score of 85/100 and is currently down. It has been flagged as malicious by 3 out of 95 security vendors, including recognizable names like Bfore.Ai PreCrime and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker. The domain is listed on 3 public blocklists, but Google Safe Browsing has not flagged it. Registered with Gname.com Pte. Ltd., the domain was created on September 19, 2025, and first detected on June 23, 2026. The hosting IP is 188.114.97.3. The absence of a brand suggests a broad phishing operation. Block the domain at the perimeter and submit a report to the registrar's abuse desk. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260623-E694CD Favicon MD5: 0cd398d820ec73186818c426edffcc26 TLS cert SHA-256: eab5ab1f52026cd345e62cab2455440700211f50144352814289e412ec75acd4 ## 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/taostinworks.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=taostinworks.cc 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.
