Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies v2-riverdesktop.app as an active phishing domain posing as a fake desktop application installer. This threat mimics legitimate software distribution channels to deceive users into downloading malicious payloads. The domain utilizes generic branding with no direct affiliation to known software vendors, suggesting the use of a custom drainer kit designed to harvest credentials and sensitive data under the guise of a software update or installer. Given the absence of affiliation with established brands, this appears to be a standalone phishing operation rather than a spoof of a major tech company. This domain exhibits multiple red flags detailed in forensic analysis. VirusTotal reports a low detection rate of only 1 out of 95 security vendors as of the latest scan, indicating poor recognition by automated defenses. The domain was registered on April 10, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar known for anonymity-friendly services. It resolves to a dedicated IP address, 76.76.21.21, and holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt, potentially increasing user trust. The domain remains unblocked by Google Safe Browsing (GSB) systems as of the last assessment, with no confirmed appearances on major blocklists, compounding its stealthiness. As of the most recent assessment, v2-riverdesktop.app maintains an active status with an elevated risk level, indicating ongoing malicious activity. Immediate remediation actions include updating browser-based blocklists and flagging the domain at the network perimeter level for users and organizations. While the risk of direct exploitation remains elevated due to low detection and recent registration, proactive blocking and user awareness campaigns significantly reduce potential impact. Users should avoid interactions with this domain entirely, and network defenders are advised to apply DNS-level blocking for 76.76.21.21 to prevent accidental access. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260414-9E3A2E Favicon MD5: 4da4a60037d4bf4acd368f3dc20c77d0 ## 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/v2-riverdesktop.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=v2-riverdesktop.app 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.
