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: 2025-09-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-28 12:16:44 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-28 09:17:36 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:29:46 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e6dde-5a82-70a0-949e-12924e9f2450/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d3ef7c49-c68d-49d0-b6a3-ce067340a22d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/torhub.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.torhub.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=torhub.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/torhub.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/torhub.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 04:33:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain torhub.org has been identified as hosting a phishing threat specifically related to generic phishing activities. It was designed to mimic a marketplace with the page title, 'DarkGate — Verified Darknet Markets & Links 2026'. The domain is currently offline, mitigating immediate risk to users. Technical analysis reveals that torhub.org was flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a moderate detection rate for phishing activities. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolved to IP address 172.67.173.82. It was first created on September 10, 2025, and appeared on one security blocklist. The domain utilized technologies such as Cloudflare Browser Insights, Cloudflare, and HTTP/3, and was protected with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Currently, the domain is offline, reducing the immediate threat. However, it is recommended that continued monitoring be conducted on related domains and IP addresses. Users should remain vigilant when encountering similar sites and ensure their web security tools are up to date. Organizations are advised to update their blocklists and educate users on recognizing phishing attempts to prevent potential exposure to similar threats in the future. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260528-E0235F Favicon MD5: 9e6e6a23b331ad1683015550ddfd1b9e TLS cert SHA-256: cb3ed9ef385e7bc5ee85c86c2068421d1024afb867404fdc6e35941c5dfa4e63 ## 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/torhub.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=torhub.org 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.
