# PhishDestroy threat dossier — verify.captcha-bot.digital ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-27 00:09:51 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/verify.captcha-bot.digital/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 56/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.70.247 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: NS_NOT_FOUND Page title: NSFW Content HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-12-04 19:02:45 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-13 07:52:00 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 18:07:35 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019aeabe-2aa2-75ce-b350-cebc95141ba0/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/verify.captcha-bot.digital crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.verify.captcha-bot.digital Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=verify.captcha-bot.digital AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/verify.captcha-bot.digital URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/verify.captcha-bot.digital/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 01:04:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies verify.captcha-bot.digital as a low-risk credential phishing domain. The site displayed a misleading page titled "NSFW Content" designed to deceive users into submitting sensitive credentials. Although the threat level is low, phishing activity poses a risk to user data and privacy. The domain resolved to IP address 172.67.70.247 and was registered via Cloudflare, Inc., indicating use of common infrastructure often exploited for phishing campaigns. VirusTotal analysis shows only 1 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain, and it appeared on a single security blocklist, suggesting limited detection and exposure. The domain name’s structure attempts to imply legitimacy by referencing "captcha-bot," possibly to lower user suspicion. Currently, verify.captcha-bot.digital has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk. Users should remain cautious and avoid interacting with similar suspicious domains. It is recommended to keep security software updated, verify website authenticity before submitting credentials, and report any suspicious sites encountered. Continuous monitoring for reactivation or related phishing infrastructure is advised. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b2c8177996d20a0531272b6e1eb233be ## 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.captcha-bot.digital/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=verify.captcha-bot.digital 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.
