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: 2025-09-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-18 19:04:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-18 17:09:57 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 00:40:22 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 00:04:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019edbaf-a5a0-7155-8fae-532775c7944d/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/870107dd-d129-45ac-ab54-e1284f336dd6 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vss.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vss.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vss.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vss.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vss.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 10:32:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain vss.finance, associated with a generic scam operation, has a high threat score of 75/100 and is currently down. It has been flagged as malicious by 3 out of 95 security vendors, including Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, and SOCRadar. It appears on one public blocklist but is not flagged by Google Safe Browsing, indicating some level of operational stealth. Registered with Dynadot Inc, this domain was created on September 5, 2025, and was first detected on June 18, 2026. The hosting IP address is 54.215.31.113. The absence of a recognizable brand suggests a broader phishing campaign rather than targeting a specific entity. Given the high threat score and confirmed malicious activity, block the domain at the perimeter and submit a report to the registrar's abuse desk for further investigation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260618-8C2FD7 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 297ffca91a9ff7aaf5e44104515fe0697994d3f559ebb363bf469c06a093fa79 ## 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/vss.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vss.finance 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.
