# PhishDestroy threat dossier — verify-badge-vip20.pages.dev ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 03:10:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/verify-badge-vip20.pages.dev/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, MalwareURL, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: justin.ns.cloudflare.com, raegan.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-12 Page title: Suspected Phishing | Cloudflare HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b16146c74220babd797f6f07ef5f1abce21a407203fa431ddb852d046b61047f ## 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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-13 14:30:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-13 14:27:52 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 13:09:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ec0fb-1415-7360-b3c2-666b0c96d8e3/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/verify-badge-vip20.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.verify-badge-vip20.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=verify-badge-vip20.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/verify-badge-vip20.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/verify-badge-vip20.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 21:28:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, verify-badge-vip20.pages.dev, is identified as a credential phishing infrastructure designed to harvest user login credentials through deceptive authentication prompts. Analysis indicates the site impersonates a legitimate verification service, likely targeting users under false pretenses of account validation or badge verification. The threat type is classified as credential phishing, with a focus on capturing sensitive authentication details for unauthorized access. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. on June 12, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. It is flagged by 14 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy. Technical indicators include the use of HTTP/3, HSTS, and a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. The creation date suggests the domain was established with malicious intent, as it predates typical registration timelines for legitimate services. As of the latest assessment, verify-badge-vip20.pages.dev has been taken offline, though residual risks may persist. Organizations and users are advised to block the domain and its associated IP address (188.114.97.3) at the network level. Security teams should monitor for any attempts to reuse the infrastructure or domain name under alternative top-level domains. End users should be educated on recognizing credential phishing tactics, particularly those leveraging fake verification prompts. If credentials were entered on this site, immediate password resets and multi-factor authentication reviews are recommended for all affected accounts. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 14/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: b16146c74220babd797f6f07ef5f1abce21a407203fa431ddb852d046b61047f ## 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/verify-badge-vip20.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=verify-badge-vip20.pages.dev 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.
