# PhishDestroy threat dossier — tinu.be ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-26 07:07:44 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/tinu.be/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 75/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, DNS8, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Lionic, Phishing Database, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 21 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 76.76.21.21 (US, Walnut) ASN: ASAS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Registrar: Key-Systems GmbH Nameservers: carl.ns.cloudflare.com, daisy.ns.cloudflare.com, daisy.ns.cloudflare.com, carl.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Url shortener and QR code generator ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-04-28 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 750c0bc205faa7e5a7de9a33443a051f8225ead2658eb60115a63e7b708d1d7a ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-05 01:09:07 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-26 09:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-11 12:01:05 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c2b26-bf01-741e-8f2f-80c039dc3a63/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/dcbcf36f-f9dc-4e37-88aa-793fb8dc1278 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tinu.be crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tinu.be Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tinu.be AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tinu.be URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tinu.be/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:27:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies tinu.be as a high-risk phishing domain that was designed to deceive users by masquerading as a legitimate URL shortening and QR code service. Despite its offline status, the domain posed a significant danger by potentially harvesting sensitive user data such as login credentials or personal information. Phishing sites like tinu.be exploit trust by offering useful-looking services that lure victims into entering confidential details. The phishing technique employed by tinu.be involved mimicking a popular utility — in this case, a URL shortener and QR code generator — to convince visitors to engage with the site. Upon interaction, users might have been prompted to provide personal data or unknowingly download malicious content. The domain's low trust score, presence in multiple threat intelligence reports (including 21 AlienVault OTX pulses), and listing on security blocklists underline its malicious intent. Additionally, tinu.be was registered recently (February 21, 2026) and resolved to an IP address commonly linked to questionable activities. If a user has visited tinu.be, PhishDestroy strongly advises against entering any personal or financial information. Users should run a comprehensive malware scan on their devices, change passwords for any accounts that might be compromised, and remain vigilant for suspicious emails or messages that might follow an attack. Reporting such incidents to cybersecurity authorities and using trusted security tools can help mitigate potential harm from this type of phishing threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260205-2D2648 Favicon MD5: 361f2aca674c6792a1e36c00996e4ea9 TLS cert SHA-256: 750c0bc205faa7e5a7de9a33443a051f8225ead2658eb60115a63e7b708d1d7a ## 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/tinu.be/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tinu.be 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.
