Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is vcbg5d.pics a phishing scam? Analysis indicates that the domain vcbg5d.pics was registered on July 24, 2026 through Spaceship, Inc. The domain is served by the authoritative name servers launch1.spaceship.net and launch2.spaceship.net and currently resolves to the IPv4 address 47.242.217.10. The hosting infrastructure has not been publicly linked to a known benign service, and the IP address does not appear in the supplied intelligence as belonging to a reputable content provider. The domain has been flagged by the PhishDestroy blocklist and is listed on one additional security blocklist, confirming that at least one external sinkhole has taken action against it. VirusTotal reports that eight of ninety‑one scanning engines have identified the domain as malicious, which aligns with the high‑risk classification assigned to the indicator. The overall detection signal therefore suggests active exploitation rather than a false positive. The domain’s creation date is only four days prior to the report date, implying a fast‑track deployment typical of short‑lived phishing campaigns. No further evidence such as SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, page title, or Safe Browsing reputation is available in the current dataset, leaving the content of the site unverified. Defenders should therefore treat vcbg5d.pics as a high‑confidence malicious indicator. Recommended actions include adding the domain and its resolving IP address to local deny lists, confirming that outbound traffic to the IP is blocked at perimeter firewalls, and monitoring DNS logs for any queries to the associated name servers. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised in case additional telemetry, such as URL patterns or payload hashes, becomes available. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260728-E1FB4E ## 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 (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/vcbg5d.pics/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vcbg5d.pics 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.
