# PhishDestroy threat dossier — vdhd.fr ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-05 05:13:01 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vdhd.fr/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 12/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Lionic, MalwareURL, SOCRadar, Webroot URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 217.160.0.128 (DE, Essen) ASN: AS8560 IONOS SE Hosting org: Ionos Inf Registrar: IONOS SE Nameservers: ns1039.ui-dns.biz, ns1044.ui-dns.org, ns1055.ui-dns.de, ns1087.ui-dns.com Registered: 2026-05-18 Expires: 2027-05-18 Page title: 403 Forbidden ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Sectigo Limited / Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36 Expires: 2026-11-14 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 38714e6f749d8381dc63f7eed52031f50c4366e847b977e0373158f9cb9c71f6 ## 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: 2026-05-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 14:09:52 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 20:06:36 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-05 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 00:18:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed57b-0785-709c-97eb-0a07db5e5813/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/112d0a97-7bc6-4bf0-8f8e-d71037ec8f55 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vdhd.fr crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vdhd.fr Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vdhd.fr AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vdhd.fr URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vdhd.fr/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:34:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vdhd.fr as a generic phishing domain that is currently active and posing a high risk to users. The domain was created on May 18, 2026, and is registered through IONOS SE, resolving to IP address 217.160.0.128. It is secured with an SSL certificate issued by Sectigo Limited / Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36, which does not legitimize its malicious intent. VirusTotal flags this domain with 10 out of 95 security vendors marking it as malicious, indicating a consensus among security tools. Additionally, it appears in one threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX and is listed on one security blocklist, further corroborating its dangerous nature. The technical indicators surrounding vdhd.fr reveal a sophisticated phishing campaign. The domain's creation date is in the future relative to the current year, suggesting either a data anomaly or a forward-dated registration to evade detection. Its registration via IONOS SE, a reputable provider, does not imply safety, as threat actors often use legitimate services. The IP address 217.160.0.128 may host multiple malicious domains, and the SSL certificate from Sectigo adds a false sense of trust, encouraging users to disclose sensitive information. The presence in one AlienVault OTX pulse and one security blocklist indicates that this domain is recognized by threat intelligence communities, but its low blocklist count does not diminish its risk. Currently, vdhd.fr remains active, meaning users may still encounter it via email, ads, or search results. PhishDestroy strongly recommends that users do not visit the site, click any links, or enter any personal information. If you have interacted with this domain, monitor accounts for suspicious activity and change passwords immediately. Organizations should block the domain at the network level and educate employees about generic phishing tactics. Report the domain to IONOS SE and relevant authorities to help takedown efforts. Stay vigilant against similar domains that may appear legitimate but are designed to steal credentials. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-7CAC20 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 38714e6f749d8381dc63f7eed52031f50c4366e847b977e0373158f9cb9c71f6 ## 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/vdhd.fr/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vdhd.fr 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.
