# PhishDestroy threat dossier — vertex360.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 14:11:38 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vertex360.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 82/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 144.124.230.37 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: ASAS216071 VDSINA SERVERS TECH FZCO, AE Hosting org: AS216071 SERVERS TECH FZCO Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2026-06-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-26 08:38:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-26 06:40:02 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 12:01:23 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f02a5-b836-711b-a7f4-2cd79d47ad5e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d46d64ec-baa8-49d5-afae-e2784c39c032 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vertex360.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vertex360.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vertex360.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vertex360.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vertex360.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 08:48:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, vertex360.cc, is flagged as a high-risk credential harvesting phishing site targeting user login credentials. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is actively collecting sensitive authentication data, likely through fake login portals impersonating legitimate services. The threat type aligns with patterns observed in credential theft campaigns, where victims are tricked into entering usernames, passwords, or multi-factor authentication codes into fraudulent forms. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 144.124.230.37 and was registered on June 17, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites due to its free and automated issuance process. VirusTotal reports 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, suggesting limited but confirmed detection. No widespread blocklist inclusion is observed at this time, though the domain remains active and operational. The creation date, set in the future, may indicate an attempt to evade reputation-based filtering or suggest a placeholder for planned malicious activity. Mitigation steps for organizations and end users include immediate blocking of the domain and its associated IP address at the network perimeter. Security teams should monitor for connections to 144.124.230.37 in proxy logs and endpoint telemetry, as this may indicate compromised credentials or ongoing phishing attempts. Users who may have interacted with the domain should be instructed to reset passwords for any accounts entered on the site, enable multi-factor authentication where available, and review account activity for unauthorized access. Domain registrars and certificate authorities should be notified of the abuse to facilitate takedown or revocation of the SSL certificate if warranted. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260626-D01D40 Favicon MD5: 56ef7b588d12e86e792d616ed71f5f90 TLS cert SHA-256: 5dee5f2dbbf581344a73792f7fe23c79ba01faf9c4d6d2f00303898d7e5ab0fb ## 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/vertex360.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vertex360.cc 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.
