# PhishDestroy threat dossier — vpcardex.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-02 01:47:05 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vpcardex.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 45/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/94 security vendors flagged this domain ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 92.113.23.67 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Hosting org: HOSTINGER DE Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: ["ns1.dns-parking.com", "ns2.dns-parking.com"] Registered: 2026-04-22 Page title: Checking your browser before accessing. Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-05-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 52ac58b0806bbf811293f10970a23e1d68250831b1553f93ba001699fc0a1ad1 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.vpcardex.com ## 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: 2026-04-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-22 16:15:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-30 19:40:24 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 02:13:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019db553-0b33-7293-8601-9f942b1c8716/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vpcardex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vpcardex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vpcardex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vpcardex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vpcardex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-22 16:17:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vpcardex.com as a recently activated generic phishing domain currently impersonating a credit card service, leveraging a spoofed interface to trick users into surrendering sensitive payment data. This domain is a component of an active credential harvesting campaign, likely propagating through social engineering lures referencing fraudulent billing or card verification prompts. No specific drainer kit fingerprint has been publicly released, suggesting the operators may be employing custom scripts or reusing open-source phishing templates tailored to financial impersonation. The infrastructure appears provisional, with no prior reputation to indicate sustained use beyond its September 2025 registration window. Technical indicators associated with vpcardex.com include a 0/95 detection score on VirusTotal as of latest scans, indicating a clean reputation on most antivirus engines despite active abuse. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 92.113.23.67 and was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. on September 2, 2025. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet flagged the domain, and no public blocklists have been observed listing it. The SSL certificate, issued by Let’s Encrypt, provides a false veneer of legitimacy to deceive wary users, though it does not reflect ownership by any legitimate entity. As of current analysis, vpcardex.com remains active and is actively serving phishing content. Users encountering this domain should refrain from interacting with it and report it via their browser’s phishing reporting mechanism or trusted threat intelligence platforms. Organizations are advised to block outbound connections to both the domain and its underlying IP address (92.113.23.67) at the network perimeter. While the immediate threat exposure is limited due to low detection rates and no widespread listing, the lack of remediation underscores a latent risk for credential theft and financial fraud. Continued monitoring is essential, as indicators suggest this campaign may escalate or spawn related domains under the same registrar. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 0f7cf270e6c7a0ae55c7e5531d541cec TLS cert SHA-256: 52ac58b0806bbf811293f10970a23e1d68250831b1553f93ba001699fc0a1ad1 ## 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/vpcardex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vpcardex.com 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.
