No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 15:13:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 12:38:32 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 15:15:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] tether-buco.net: Confirmed Phishing Site The domain tether-buco.net is currently active and returns HTTP 200 for its primary web endpoint, indicating a reachable web service. Registration data shows the domain was created through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar known for bulk registrations. Authoritative nameservers are a12.share-dns.com and b12.share-dns.net, both typical of shared DNS hosting services. The site appears on one public security blocklist and is listed as blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, confirming that at least one external threat‑intel source has classified the domain as malicious. VirusTotal analysis reports that 15 of 91 scanned security vendors flag the domain, reflecting a moderate consensus among AV engines that the site hosts or distributes phishing‑related content. No public IP address, ASN, or geographic location has been disclosed in the available intelligence, and SSL/TLS certificate details are absent, preventing a direct assessment of transport‑layer security. Likewise, Safe Browsing, Open Threat Exchange (OTX), and other reputation services have not published explicit verdicts for this domain, leaving those vectors unverified. The page title and any embedded brand references have not been captured, so the precise lure employed by the site remains unknown beyond the generic phishing categorisation supplied. Given the combination of an active HTTP 200 response, registrar information, nameserver configuration, presence on a phishing‑specific blocklist, and multi‑vendor detection on VirusTotal, the risk posture of tether‑buco.net is assessed as high. Defensive recommendations include adding the domain to network‑level deny lists, configuring web‑proxy filters to block HTTP requests to the host, and monitoring DNS queries for any resolution attempts. Incident response teams should also consider harvesting the current IP address, if obtainable, for further correlation with malicious traffic logs. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: f4ce1ee2f3d6673445b31572c01793a41059855a717348584b0f49563df33b32 ## 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/tether-buco.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tether-buco.net 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.
