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 12:40:41 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 15:04:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] tether-dist.net — Generic Phishing Infrastructure Report The domain tether-dist.net is presently active and returns an HTTP 200 response, indicating that a web server is reachable and serving content. Registration data shows the domain was created through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar that frequently appears in malicious registrations. The authoritative DNS records are hosted on a1.share-dns.com and b1.share-dns.net, both of which are shared DNS services commonly leveraged by threat actors to obscure the true hosting environment. VirusTotal analysis has flagged the domain in 15 of 91 security vendor scans, demonstrating a moderate level of detection across independent engines. The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, confirming that at least one defensive platform has identified it as malicious. No additional public indicators such as IP address, hosting provider, SSL certificate details, page title, or targeted brand have been disclosed, leaving the broader infrastructure context ambiguous. Consequently, defenders should treat tether-dist.net as high‑risk phishing infrastructure: block the domain at perimeter and DNS filtering layers, add it to internal blocklists, and monitor for any new resolution records or associated domains that may share the same nameservers. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the lack of detailed hosting information limits attribution but the existing evidence—registrar choice, shared DNS, detection count, and active blocklist status—strongly suggests the domain is being used for phishing campaigns. ## 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-dist.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tether-dist.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.
