# PhishDestroy threat dossier — tr.kingroyal-connect.vip ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 02:39:08 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/tr.kingroyal-connect.vip/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 89/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.202.253 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: danica.ns.cloudflare.com, lamar.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-23 Expires: 2027-06-23 HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5492baaa5665e9af2c5420d8202041bba1fdd2e27afab583cd5fd3ebabee571b Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - kingroyal-connect.vip ## 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: 2026-06-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 17:40:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 15:50:25 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 00:02:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efa49-e596-7469-9d27-58fd2013f6f5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/918939b0-dcbe-4038-bcfa-67e43bc748b7 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tr.kingroyal-connect.vip crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tr.kingroyal-connect.vip Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tr.kingroyal-connect.vip AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tr.kingroyal-connect.vip URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tr.kingroyal-connect.vip/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:13:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, tr.kingroyal-connect.vip, is identified as a credential harvesting phishing site targeting users through deceptive login interfaces. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to impersonate legitimate services, likely financial or corporate platforms, to harvest sensitive authentication credentials. As of the latest assessment, the domain is reported offline, though prior activity remains a confirmed threat vector. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 23, 2026, through Dynadot Inc, a registrar commonly utilized for short-lived malicious domains. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.202.253, which is associated with content delivery networks often exploited to mask origin infrastructure. The domain holds an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy to potential victims. Security telemetry shows 3 of 95 VirusTotal vendors flagged the domain as malicious, and it appears on one security blocklist, indicating limited but confirmed detection across threat intelligence platforms. Current status confirms the domain is offline; however, the infrastructure remains a latent risk due to its recent creation and known association with phishing operations. Organizations are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP at perimeter defenses, including firewalls and DNS filters. Security teams should monitor for credential reuse attempts from harvested data and conduct internal audits for any prior exposure. End users who may have interacted with the domain should reset passwords for any accounts accessed during the exposure window and enable multi-factor authentication where available. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-FED68C Favicon MD5: 4f045bf2c82dc050b5636e71c1d3ce35 TLS cert SHA-256: 5492baaa5665e9af2c5420d8202041bba1fdd2e27afab583cd5fd3ebabee571b ## 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/tr.kingroyal-connect.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tr.kingroyal-connect.vip 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.
