38539.app Phishing Campaign

This domain, 38539.app, is currently active and has been identified as part of a generic phishing campaign. Registration information shows the domain was created through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and it is served by the authoritative name servers ns7.alidns.com and ns8.alidns.com. The site presents a valid TLS certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt, which enables HTTPS connections and may give a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain is associated with the Tengine web framework and enforces HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), both of which are commonly observed in malicious hosting environments.

Threat intelligence feeds indicate that the domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy service. VirusTotal reports that four of ninety‑one security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, suggesting a modest but non‑trivial detection rate across the scanning ecosystem. No additional evidence such as page titles, brand impersonation, or concrete IP address attribution is available at this time.

Defenders should therefore treat any traffic to 38539.app as suspicious. Recommended mitigation steps include adding the domain to network‑level deny lists, configuring web proxies to block HTTPS connections to the domain, and monitoring DNS queries for the associated name servers. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the lack of detailed payload information means the full scope of the campaign remains uncertain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      b6f982298a21da5612542f5335c5361afde8161e181073291bec35b6692f57e6

## 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.
