Is 38538.app a Phishing Site?

Analysis of 38538.app as of July 19 2026 indicates the domain is actively used for a generic phishing campaign and is classified as high risk. The domain returns an HTTP 301 status, suggesting it redirects visitors to another location, a technique frequently employed to conceal malicious payloads. VirusTotal reports that 4 of 91 scanned security vendors have flagged the domain, confirming that multiple detection engines have identified malicious behavior. The domain is currently listed on one public blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, reinforcing its reputation as a hostile resource. The available intelligence does not reveal the underlying infrastructure, hosting provider, or the specific lure presented to victims, leaving those details uncertain. Defenders should treat 38538.app as malicious: add the FQDN to DNS and web‑filter blocklists, monitor network traffic for outbound connections to the domain, and isolate any internal hosts that have attempted to resolve or contact it. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised in case additional detections or contextual information appear.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      3b203aa71c48d20e90f7ad7e175dc0e8987dafc2823c5bcfa06fd9f530740c45

## 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.
