Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] x-dmca-mail.com Fake DMCA Notice Alert This domain, x-dmca-mail.com, was registered on 15 July 2026 through Namecheap Inc and is currently using the authoritative name servers dns1.registrar-servers.com and dns2.registrar-servers.com. DNS resolution points to the single IPv4 address 162.255.119.174. The domain is listed as active and its risk level is under investigation, with the threat type classified as generic_phishing. No public analysis of the hosted content is available, and the site has not been examined for visual or functional characteristics. The recent creation date, coupled with the use of a reputable registrar and generic hosting, is consistent with infrastructure that is often leveraged for short‑lived phishing campaigns. Defenders should treat the domain as malicious until further evidence proves otherwise. Recommended mitigation steps include adding the domain and its resolved IP address to outbound and inbound blocklists, monitoring DNS queries for the associated name servers, and inspecting inbound email traffic for references to DMCA or copyright enforcement language that may be linked to this domain. Continuous threat‑intel feeds should be consulted for any emerging indicators of compromise related to 162.255.119.174. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260717-7FDEBF ## 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/x-dmca-mail.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=x-dmca-mail.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
