# PhishDestroy threat dossier — web-telegram.app ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-06 22:33:58 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/web-telegram.app/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 77/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Telegram ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Sophos, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 209.99.185.226 (CH, Zurich) ASN: AS402253 SKN Subnet & Telecom Ltd Hosting org: HostRoyale Technologies Registrar: Tucows Domains Inc Nameservers: 1-you.njalla.no, 2-can.njalla.in, 3-get.njalla.fo Registered: 2026-03-24 Expires: 2027-03-24 ## 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: 2026-03-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 22:10:57 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-07 00:25:13 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-07 00:01:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f390d-cbb2-70af-a13d-a7393f25fd10/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/web-telegram.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.web-telegram.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=web-telegram.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/web-telegram.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/web-telegram.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 22:14:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, web-telegram.app, is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting Telegram users. The site is designed to deceive visitors into believing they are interacting with the legitimate Telegram platform, potentially leading to credential theft, unauthorized account access, or distribution of malicious content. Brand impersonation of this nature is commonly used to exploit trust in well-known services, often redirecting users to fake login portals or distributing malware under the guise of official updates or communications. The risk is heightened due to Telegram's widespread use for both personal and professional communication, making it a lucrative target for threat actors. Analysis indicates that web-telegram.app was registered on March 24, 2026, through Tucows Domains Inc. The domain currently resolves to the IP address 209.99.185.226 and remains active. VirusTotal detections show that 14 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, providing technical evidence of its involvement in phishing or related fraudulent activities. The registrar, Tucows Domains Inc., is a legitimate provider, but its infrastructure is often abused by threat actors to register domains used in impersonation campaigns. The creation date suggests the domain is relatively new, a common characteristic of phishing sites designed to evade detection before being reported and taken down. If you or someone in your organization has visited web-telegram.app, immediate action is required to mitigate potential risks. First, do not enter any credentials, personal information, or download any files from the site. If credentials were already submitted, change passwords for Telegram and any other accounts where the same credentials may have been reused. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all critical accounts to add an additional layer of security. Monitor accounts for unauthorized activity, such as unexpected messages sent, login attempts from unfamiliar locations, or changes to account settings. If malware was downloaded, disconnect the affected device from the network and perform a full system scan using updated security tools. Report the incident to your organization's security team or a trusted cybersecurity professional for further analysis and remediation. Additionally, consider reporting the domain to relevant authorities or threat intelligence platforms to aid in broader efforts to disrupt such campaigns. ## 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 (operator 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/web-telegram.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=web-telegram.app 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
