38540.app — Phishing Investigation Report

This domain, 38540.app, is currently listed as an active generic phishing infrastructure with a high risk rating. VirusTotal records indicate that two of ninety‑one scanned security vendors flagged the domain, suggesting limited but present malicious indicators. HTTP probing returns a 301 Moved Permanently response, implying the site may redirect to additional payloads or credential‑harvesting pages. The domain appears on a single external blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy platform, confirming that at least one security organization has observed abusive activity. No further attribution such as registrar, ASN, or hosting details is available in the current intelligence set, and the content of the landing page has not been publicly disclosed. Defenders should add 38540.app to network deny lists, monitor DNS queries for repeated resolution, and enforce email gateway controls to prevent messages that reference this domain. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as additional detections could emerge and the underlying infrastructure may evolve.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       42930288f3e720713d74c5c4efe0cf92
TLS cert SHA-256:      da4079594df02141c1d31bd13c93c41b33b65ff3888e5f26f24afe7d712e4802

## 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.
