Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies workspace.google.com.filetransfer.cfd as a dangerous phishing domain posing a high risk to internet users. This site attempts to deceive visitors by masquerading as a legitimate Google Workspace service, tricking users into divulging sensitive personal or login information. The domain is relatively new, created in February 2026, and remains active with confirmed detections from multiple security vendors. This phishing scheme works by presenting a misleading webpage titled "Index of /" that may prompt users to download files or enter credentials under the guise of a file transfer service. Its structure and domain name closely imitate trusted Google services to lower users’ defenses. The domain is flagged on several security blocklists and is associated with suspicious IP addresses, indicating coordinated malicious activity. If you have visited workspace.google.com.filetransfer.cfd, it is crucial to immediately discontinue interaction with the site and avoid submitting any data. Run a full antivirus scan on your device, change any passwords that might have been entered, and enable two-factor authentication where possible. Reporting the domain to your security team or authorities can help protect others from falling victim to this active phishing threat. ## 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/workspace.google.com.filetransfer.cfd/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=workspace.google.com.filetransfer.cfd 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.
