No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-31 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-10 14:42:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-12 22:22:13 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 06:40:15 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4c0c-2c83-748d-8a3e-ce811547921b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/cd793cbc-210f-4e3c-be2c-39c03b9d384f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/windirstat.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.windirstat.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=windirstat.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/windirstat.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/windirstat.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-10 14:45:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This security advisory addresses the domain windirstat.dev, which impersonates the legitimate WinDirStat Windows disk analyzer software. The threat is a generic phishing campaign designed to deceive users seeking the official WinDirStat tool. Analysis indicates the domain hosts a replica of the authentic WinDirStat website, potentially to harvest credentials, distribute malware, or redirect users to malicious payloads under the guise of a trusted open-source utility. The domain remains active as of this writing, increasing the risk of exposure. Technical indicators confirm the domain resolves to IP address 172.67.173.203, registered through Spaceship, Inc. on May 31, 2026. VirusTotal analysis shows 0 detections out of 95 scanners, indicating no security vendor has flagged the domain as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, lending a false sense of legitimacy. No blocklist entries are currently recorded, underscoring the domain's low visibility among threat intelligence feeds. The page title explicitly references WinDirStat and its GPLv2 license, furthering the impersonation. Users who have visited windirstat.dev should immediately close the browser tab and run a full antivirus scan on their system. Avoid entering any personal information, credentials, or downloading files from the site. Monitor accounts for unauthorized access and change passwords if any data was submitted. Report the domain to hosting provider Spaceship, Inc. and relevant cybersecurity authorities to aid in takedown efforts. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-A991D3 Favicon MD5: 3e5d4f1c8d347274283413ad0b9d9770 TLS cert SHA-256: 9abb22e042f3100f00f8d669d04e6a5d2cbfcbc731228c6ceb7458ffef66a220 ## 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/windirstat.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=windirstat.dev 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.
