# PhishDestroy threat dossier — vvfte4wv.setmsail.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 13:32:19 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vvfte4wv.setmsail.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, LevelBlue ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: alaric.ns.cloudflare.com, brynne.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-18 Page title: CEX ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: d8279af80cedfedbde7231b05f3e312a2660ac3b93bc56fc6830cfcd1e29a416 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - setmsail.cc ## 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: 2026-04-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-21 21:03:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-21 18:09:15 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-23 07:40:09 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/019db133-c973-717b-848d-33e2fb8b464e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b14ca265-8cfc-4052-aea7-1613849a7612 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vvfte4wv.setmsail.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vvfte4wv.setmsail.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vvfte4wv.setmsail.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vvfte4wv.setmsail.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vvfte4wv.setmsail.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-21 21:04:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vvfte4wv.setmsail.cc as an active credential-harvesting domain posing an elevated risk to potential victims. This domain was specifically flagged for deploying fake login portals to steal user credentials, with confirmed malicious activity reported by multiple security vendors. The infrastructure behind this threat includes a Let’s Encrypt-validated SSL certificate, suggesting an attempt to appear legitimate while facilitating unauthorized data collection from unsuspecting users. This domain was flagged by 3 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating limited but confirmed malicious detection. It is registered through Dynadot Inc and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3. The domain was created on April 18, 2026, which is a recent registration indicative of opportunistic abuse. While not widely listed on major blocklists due to its novelty, the low detection ratio suggests it may be newly active or targeting specific user groups. The use of a legitimate-looking SSL certificate further lowers user suspicion, increasing the likelihood of successful credential theft. Mitigation for this credential-harvesting threat requires immediate user awareness and domain blocking. Users should avoid entering any credentials on this domain or its subpages. Organizations should update blocklists to include setmsail.cc and 188.114.97.3 at the network perimeter. Additionally, credential monitoring for exposed accounts should be prioritized due to the high risk of identity theft. Security teams are advised to inspect DNS logs for connections to this domain and conduct user awareness training to prevent further compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-55AFC0 Favicon MD5: 79a580f05dade98a8e27204dbf962dc0 TLS cert SHA-256: d8279af80cedfedbde7231b05f3e312a2660ac3b93bc56fc6830cfcd1e29a416 ## 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/vvfte4wv.setmsail.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vvfte4wv.setmsail.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.
