Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NameMart Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: ["amber.ns.cloudflare.com.", "gabe.ns.cloudflare.com."] Registered: 2026-05-18 Page title: basic ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: d6d4cc38d720164483c90dcdfc744e04b85614cd6f29faccb543b3c51566ac39 ## 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: 2026-05-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-18 15:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 16:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-18 20:28:15 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 13:46:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain zyht-hkbank.top has been identified as a high-risk credential theft attack. It is believed to impersonate Hong Kong Bank, a financial institution, to trick users into divulging sensitive information. This domain was likely part of a larger campaign targeting banking customers. Analysis indicates that zyht-hkbank.top is flagged by 15 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, underscoring its malicious nature. The domain was registered through NameMart Pte. Ltd. and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is located in California, USA and hosted by CloudFlare, Inc. The domain was created on May 18, 2026. Google Safe Browsing has flagged this domain as a phishing site, and it appears on 1 security blocklist. The SSL certificate for this domain was issued by Let's Encrypt, with a serial number E8. Currently, the domain zyht-hkbank.top is taken offline. However, the infrastructure and techniques used by the attackers suggest that similar domains may still be active or could be reactivated. Security teams should monitor for related domains and continue to educate users about the signs of phishing attacks. The remaining risk is moderate, as the domain could be reused in future campaigns, and users who may have already fallen victim should be advised to change their passwords and enable multi-factor authentication. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: d6d4cc38d720164483c90dcdfc744e04b85614cd6f29faccb543b3c51566ac39 ## 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/zyht-hkbank.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=zyht-hkbank.top 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.
