Registrar: 1 Api GmbH Nameservers: celeste.ns.cloudflare.com, kyrie.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-01-14 Expires: 2026-01-14 Page title: Welcome aboard HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2025-01-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-08-10 01:33:23 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-02 09:35:31 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-28 05:44:37 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198919b-db4c-7471-90d2-850179429b22/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vzj862.it crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vzj862.it Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vzj862.it AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vzj862.it URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vzj862.it/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 02:17:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vzj862.it as a medium-risk phishing domain impersonating the Generic Crypto brand. Registered recently on January 14, 2025, this domain attempted to deceive users with a page titled "Welcome aboard," designed to mimic legitimate crypto services and lure victims into fraudulent activity. Technical indicators highlight that vzj862.it resolved to IP address 104.21.56.27 and was registered through the provider 1 Api GmbH. The domain was flagged by 8 out of 95 security vendors and appeared on three separate security blocklists, signaling a clear pattern of malicious intent. These factors underscore its role in brand impersonation efforts aimed at misleading cryptocurrency users. At present, the domain is offline, reflecting responsive mitigation efforts to curb its harmful impact. Users are advised to remain vigilant and avoid interacting with vzj862.it or any associated links. PhishDestroy continues to monitor such threats to ensure timely detection and protection against evolving phishing tactics targeting the crypto sector. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 733d0c0a99a79f263e8b548b8b1988ccfe80e156d36120371495955b4e51e382 ## 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/vzj862.it/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vzj862.it 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.
