# PhishDestroy threat dossier — win.zh-drivergenius.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 22:44:28 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/win.zh-drivergenius.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 84/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Kaspersky, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 166.75.143.10 (HK, Tung Chung) ASN: ASAS132839 POWERLINE-AS-AP - POWER LINE DATACENTER, HK Hosting org: AS132839 POWER LINE DATACENTER Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2026-06-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-26 01:54:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-30 00:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 12:16:47 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0134-706b-745a-a9f9-879bf77fa011/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/win.zh-drivergenius.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.win.zh-drivergenius.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=win.zh-drivergenius.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/win.zh-drivergenius.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/win.zh-drivergenius.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 02:00:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, win.zh-drivergenius.com, is flagged as a phishing site impersonating legitimate driver update services. Analysis indicates the threat type is brand impersonation, likely targeting users searching for driver-related software. The domain mimics trusted names in the driver management space, though no specific drainer kit or cryptocurrency-related activity has been identified yet. The infrastructure appears designed to distribute malicious payloads or harvest credentials under the guise of software updates. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 166.75.143.10 and was registered on June 18, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC. VirusTotal detections stand at 0/95, indicating no antivirus engines have flagged the domain at the time of this report. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unconfirmed, and no blocklist entries have been recorded. The domain's creation date suggests it is relatively new, which aligns with typical phishing campaign timelines where fresh domains are deployed to evade detection. Current status remains active, with no takedown or sinkholing actions observed. The risk level is under investigation, though the lack of detections on VirusTotal does not preclude malicious intent. Response actions should include monitoring for increased detection rates, analyzing payloads if distributed, and blocking the domain at the network level. Users are advised to verify driver update sources directly through official vendor websites and avoid downloading software from untrusted domains. The domain's continued activity warrants heightened scrutiny, particularly given its association with a known registrar frequently used in phishing operations. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed - VirusTotal detections: now 3/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: f8c1b32e6fea295818d03e0765ec5d5cbd51f9f6bc44d07ff13218208be4c698 ## 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/win.zh-drivergenius.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=win.zh-drivergenius.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.
