# PhishDestroy threat dossier — vfsmsverify.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 21:26:54 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vfsmsverify.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 83/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 163.61.188.7 (US, Staten Island) ASN: AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE Hosting org: MIT Registrar: Atak Domain Nameservers: dns1.lytehosting.com, dns2.lytehosting.com, dns3.lytehosting.com, dns4.lytehosting.com, ns1.cprapid.com, ns2.cprapid.com Registered: 2025-10-12 Expires: 2026-10-12 Page title: Vfsmsverify - Secure SMS Verification ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-16 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5f55926a676d87a96e045d1d895203bda5e55e934dd4ae774a07fd37458ed20a ## 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: 2025-10-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 03:54:26 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 02:33:15 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b61-492b-72db-8d2b-65a3951ae9eb/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/ed901b5b-aac2-4730-820c-5f14bb8ff292 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vfsmsverify.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vfsmsverify.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vfsmsverify.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vfsmsverify.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vfsmsverify.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 05:05:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain operates as a credential phishing portal targeting users through fake SMS verification pages. The site mimics legitimate two-factor authentication services to harvest login credentials, one-time passwords, and personal identification details. Victims are typically redirected here after clicking malicious links in phishing emails or SMS messages, where they are prompted to enter sensitive information under the guise of security verification. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on October 12, 2025, through the registrar Atak Domain. Infrastructure review shows it resolves to IP address 163.61.188.7 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. Security vendor detection on VirusTotal stands at 2 out of 95, while the domain appears on one active security blocklist. The page title 'Vfsmsverify - Secure SMS Verification' reinforces the false legitimacy of the operation. Users who visited this domain should immediately revoke any entered credentials from associated accounts. Enable multi-factor authentication on all critical services using an authenticator app rather than SMS-based verification. Monitor financial and communication accounts for unauthorized activity, and report the incident to relevant cybersecurity response teams. The domain remains active as of this report, and continued exposure poses a high risk of account compromise or identity theft. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-6C442F Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 5f55926a676d87a96e045d1d895203bda5e55e934dd4ae774a07fd37458ed20a ## 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/vfsmsverify.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vfsmsverify.net 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.
