# PhishDestroy threat dossier — 97ee3.catex.at ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 02:58:08 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/97ee3.catex.at/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 94/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 20/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Lionic, MalwareURL, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 31.59.121.53 (FR, Paris) ASN: ASAS56971 AS56971 CGI GLOBAL LIMITED, HK Hosting org: AS56971 AS56971 Cloud Registrar: REGISTRAR_NOT_FOUND Nameservers: a.dnspod.com, b.dnspod.com, c.dnspod.com Page title: Coinbase Card HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8fc34b7ec9b22c48a4328b993d0037cdbb96496667e1fc112224ee1056f1868c Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - catex.at ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-06-29 15:18:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-29 13:24:49 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 04:45:21 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 18:17:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1386-f2c3-752a-b29e-0e37b4d0301f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/be91166f-cee1-41c2-b7ec-52d61171a845 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/97ee3.catex.at crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.97ee3.catex.at Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=97ee3.catex.at AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/97ee3.catex.at URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/97ee3.catex.at/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 15:56:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, 97ee3.catex.at, is actively engaged in cryptocurrency phishing operations designed to steal wallet credentials and private keys. Visitors are typically lured through deceptive links promising token airdrops, wallet upgrades, or fake security alerts. Once accessed, the site presents a fraudulent interface mimicking legitimate wallet services, capturing sensitive login details or seed phrases entered by victims. The threat primarily targets users of decentralized finance platforms and digital asset holders, with infrastructure tailored to evade casual detection while maintaining persistence. Analysis indicates the domain is hosted on IP address 31.59.121.53 and secured with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic to appear legitimate. It is flagged by 19 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including specialized blockchain security tools. The domain appears on two independent security blocklists and is actively blocked by multiple wallet protection systems. No legitimate creation date or registrar transparency is available, further suggesting its use in short-lived, high-velocity phishing campaigns rather than established services. If you have visited 97ee3.catex.at or entered any credentials, immediately disconnect the device from the network and cease all wallet interactions. Revoke any connected dApp permissions via your wallet interface and transfer assets to a new, secure wallet using a clean device. Monitor all linked accounts for unauthorized transactions and report the incident to relevant security teams. Do not reuse passwords or seed phrases from the compromised session, as attackers may retain access for future exploitation. Consider scanning the device for malware, as phishing sites may deploy additional payloads to maintain persistence. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260629-95867D Favicon MD5: 1ca82eec639a786fc6356337e0f7be77 TLS cert SHA-256: 8fc34b7ec9b22c48a4328b993d0037cdbb96496667e1fc112224ee1056f1868c ## 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 (volunteer 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/97ee3.catex.at/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=97ee3.catex.at 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
