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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-09-03 09:54:44 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-27 08:21:58 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 15:29:35 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01990fa4-b1b6-75bf-a191-d6121529ab2b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/78418.tax crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.78418.tax Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=78418.tax AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/78418.tax URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/78418.tax/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 14:39:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] 78418.tax — Crypto Drainer Phishing Investigation Report The domain 78418.tax has been identified as a high-risk crypto drainer impersonating the Solana brand. As of the latest investigation, the domain is currently offline. This indicates that the malicious activity associated with the domain has been disrupted, but it remains a potential threat due to the nature of its previous activities. Analysis indicates that 78418.tax was flagged by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, signifying a notable level of suspicion among the cybersecurity community. The domain was registered through Dynadot LLC and is associated with the IP address 23.225.199.94, located in the United States and operated by AS40065 CNSERVERS LLC. The SSL certificate for the domain is provided by Let's Encrypt, under the R13 root certificate. The domain appears on one security blocklist and has been blocked by a security service known for its efficacy in mitigating phishing threats. The page title of the domain was set to 'Welcome,' which is often used in phishing campaigns to appear legitimate. Given the current offline status of 78418.tax, the immediate threat to users is mitigated. However, it is recommended that network administrators and security teams continue to monitor the domain for any signs of reactivation. Additionally, users should be educated to recognize and avoid phishing attempts, particularly those impersonating Solana, by verifying the authenticity of URLs and using official channels for transactions. Implementing multi-factor authentication and maintaining up-to-date antivirus software can further enhance security defenses against similar threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 54eea7228c26f3b871f3a231225bec95 TLS cert SHA-256: dc86dcba606f50d769e867a0be88c8b2bb5999236d4a29ef7a56aaf9d8d52c86 ## 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/78418.tax/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=78418.tax 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.
