No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 15:03:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-30 04:20:21 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 15:04:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] tether-ct.com — Generic Phishing Infrastructure Report The domain tether-ct.com is currently active and resolves to a web server that returns HTTP 200 responses. Registration records show the domain was obtained through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and the authoritative name servers are ns25.domaincontrol.com and ns26.domaincontrol.com, both of which are default GoDaddy DNS endpoints. Threat intelligence sources indicate the domain has been blocked by the PhishDestroy service and appears on one external security blocklist, confirming that it is being used for malicious purposes. VirusTotal analysis reports that one of ninety‑one security vendors flagged the domain, suggesting at least one detection engine has identified it as suspicious. No additional public evidence such as page titles, brand references, or detailed malicious payload descriptions is available, leaving the exact phishing lure or targeted brand undefined. The limited detection footprint—single vendor flag and a solitary blocklist entry—does not preclude a broader campaign, especially given the high‑risk classification and the fact that the infrastructure is still live. Defenders should treat tether-ct.com as a high‑confidence phishing indicator. Recommended actions include adding the domain to internal URL filtering and DNS block policies, monitoring for any resolved IP addresses associated with the domain, and employing sandbox analysis on any retrieved content should a request be made. Continuous re‑evaluation of the domain’s detection status on VirusTotal and blocklist feeds is advised, as additional vendors may flag it over time. ## 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-ct.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tether-ct.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.
