# PhishDestroy threat dossier — tg-change-verify.ru ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 19:55:51 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/tg-change-verify.ru/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 69/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 8/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 87.120.107.209 (FI, Helsinki) ASN: AS215428 Mykyta Skorobohatko Hosting org: Mykyta Skorobohatko Registered: 2026-05-24 Page title: Loading ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7a7bf1dffafbccda3df25872a3bfa9b8f00d15385653df3c74777ddab35889a2 ## 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: 2026-05-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-26 05:30:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 03:46:12 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 04:48:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, tg-change-verify.ru, is identified as a credential theft operation specifically targeting users of the messaging platform Telegram. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate Telegram verification or account update workflows, tricking users into entering sensitive login credentials, two-factor authentication codes, or recovery phrases. The infrastructure is designed to harvest these details in real time, enabling unauthorized access to victim accounts, which may lead to further exploitation such as message interception, financial fraud, or propagation of malicious links within compromised networks. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-confidence indicators of malicious activity. The domain was registered on May 24, 2026, an anomalous future date that strongly suggests domain spoofing or inaccurate registrar records, a common tactic in phishing campaigns to evade detection. It resolves to the IP address 87.120.107.209 and is currently flagged by 8 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including reputable detection engines. Additionally, the domain appears on three independent security blocklists and has been proactively blocked by multiple browser-based security tools. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, a legitimate provider, which is frequently exploited by threat actors to lend a false sense of legitimacy to malicious sites. Users who have visited tg-change-verify.ru or entered credentials on this site should take immediate corrective action. Cease all interaction with the domain and disconnect any active sessions. Change passwords and recovery phrases on the legitimate Telegram platform using a secure device. Enable multi-factor authentication if not already active, and review account activity for unauthorized logins or message history alterations. It is also recommended to scan the device used to access the site for malware, as credential theft domains often serve as vectors for additional payloads. Monitor linked accounts, especially those sharing credentials, for signs of compromise. Given the elevated risk level and confirmed malicious infrastructure, affected users should consider reporting the incident to relevant security response teams for further analysis and mitigation support. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d8fa2c538681d3d72b0b3c327ece1104 TLS cert SHA-256: 7a7bf1dffafbccda3df25872a3bfa9b8f00d15385653df3c74777ddab35889a2 ## 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/tg-change-verify.ru/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tg-change-verify.ru 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.
