Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, 52crs173.xyz, is flagged as an active phishing infrastructure designed to redirect visitors to malicious destinations. The site does not currently impersonate a specific brand but operates as a generic redirector, which may lead users to credential harvesters, malware distribution points, or other fraudulent schemes. The lack of immediate brand association increases the risk of broad targeting, as victims may be lured through phishing emails, compromised ads, or social engineering tactics without clear indicators of deception. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on July 03, 2026, through Dynadot Inc, a registrar commonly used for both legitimate and malicious registrations. As of the latest assessment, the domain has zero detections out of 95 engines on VirusTotal, suggesting it has not yet been widely flagged by security vendors. The infrastructure runs on Nginx with OpenResty, a combination often leveraged for high-performance malicious redirects. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, providing a false sense of security to visitors while obscuring the site’s true intent. If you visited 52crs173.xyz, immediately disconnect from the site and avoid interacting with any prompts or downloads. Clear your browser cache and cookies to remove any residual tracking mechanisms. Run a full scan using updated security software to detect potential malware or unauthorized access. Monitor financial and online accounts for suspicious activity, particularly if you entered credentials or personal information. Report the domain to your organization’s security team or relevant authorities to aid in tracking and mitigation efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: dbbf34c8b79e7e460e6d63c2ca2ca1d83512b36277a9e8c47cbfe784c8a6b507 ## 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/52crs173.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=52crs173.xyz 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.
