# PhishDestroy threat dossier — telegkel.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 11:12:03 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/telegkel.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 16/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 27.124.47.186 (HK, Tung Chung) Hosting org: AS152194 CTG Server Limited 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: ns3.my-ndns.com, ns4.my-ndns.com Registered: 2026-05-31 Expires: 2027-05-31 Page title: Messenger ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Telegram / *.local Expires: 2028-09-14 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: a39ad1071199c519e25f995fcae74224681acb88b7a564642bce07341f486f4c ## 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: 2026-05-31 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-02 14:23:57 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-04 12:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-03 00:17:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f22c7-5713-70ca-9827-16fb183b695c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/telegkel.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.telegkel.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=telegkel.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/telegkel.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/telegkel.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-02 14:25:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is an active phishing site designed to impersonate Telegram Messenger login pages. Visitors are presented with a fraudulent interface that closely resembles the legitimate Telegram web or mobile login portal, tricking users into entering their credentials. The site may also prompt for additional sensitive information such as two-factor authentication codes or recovery phrases, enabling attackers to gain full control of victim accounts. The primary threat is account takeover, which can lead to unauthorized access, data theft, or further phishing attacks targeting contacts within the compromised account. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on May 31, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 27.124.47.186 and uses an SSL certificate labeled 'Telegram,' likely to enhance the illusion of legitimacy. While VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 security engines, Google Safe Browsing has flagged the site for SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, and it appears on one security blocklist. The page title 'Messenger' further supports the intent to deceive users into believing they are accessing a genuine messaging service. If a user has visited telegkel.com and entered any credentials or personal information, immediate action is required. The user should log out of all active Telegram sessions from a trusted device and change their password using the official Telegram application or website. Enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) with an authenticator app, rather than SMS, is strongly recommended. All devices should be scanned for malware, and any suspicious browser extensions or applications should be removed. Users should also monitor their accounts for unauthorized activity and warn contacts about potential phishing messages sent from their account. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: ec1057db022c104327e0451eeab338cf TLS cert SHA-256: a39ad1071199c519e25f995fcae74224681acb88b7a564642bce07341f486f4c ## 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/telegkel.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=telegkel.com 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.
