# PhishDestroy threat dossier — variztional.io ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 02:29:01 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/variztional.io/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: GNAME.COM PTE. LTD. Nameservers: miki.ns.cloudflare.com, sam.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-22 Expires: 2027-06-22 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: fc982c8d041b2412ea7679dcaf72bf1cfb0631cef8c1e1c69eb046fb8954cb3f ## 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: 2026-06-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-03 16:01:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-04 04:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-04 00:02:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2846-e249-7321-b5a3-31748fbaf962/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/variztional.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.variztional.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=variztional.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/variztional.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/variztional.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-03 16:04:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, variztional.io, is currently flagged as an active credential theft site designed to harvest user login credentials under the guise of a Cloudflare security verification process. The page title "Just a moment..." is characteristic of Cloudflare interstitial pages, suggesting an attempt to deceive users into believing they are interacting with legitimate security infrastructure. Analysis indicates the domain remains operational and has not yet been widely recognized as malicious. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 22, 2026, through GNAME.COM PTE. LTD. and resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. Despite its suspicious behavior, the domain has not been flagged by any of the 95 vendors monitored by VirusTotal, indicating it may still be in the early stages of deployment or evading detection through obfuscation techniques. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while providing encryption, does not validate the legitimacy of the site’s content or intent. No blocklist entries or trust score downgrades have been recorded as of this assessment. Current status confirms variztional.io remains active and poses an ongoing risk to users who may encounter it through phishing emails, malicious advertisements, or compromised redirects. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain at the network level and monitor for connections to the associated IP address 188.114.96.3. End-users should be trained to recognize the "Just a moment..." page as a potential indicator of credential theft attempts, particularly when it appears unexpectedly. Security teams are encouraged to submit the domain to additional threat intelligence platforms to improve detection coverage and prevent further exploitation.

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 (operator 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/variztional.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=variztional.io 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
