# PhishDestroy threat dossier — abe-cto.ai-cryptolist.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 10:20:52 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/abe-cto.ai-cryptolist.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 59/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.198.248 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Key-Systems GmbH Nameservers: ["melissa.ns.cloudflare.com", "miles.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-11 Page title: Just a moment... HTTP response: 429 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-06-01 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 18dfe24639ec60ba5c881e9c2c4cdd0fcaa48735bc5fdb859e2feada71784596 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - ai-cryptolist.net ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-11 03:07:33 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-22 01:40:22 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 00:27:39 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d79da-e356-7205-bcfe-9fc6d1911dcf/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/abe-cto.ai-cryptolist.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.abe-cto.ai-cryptolist.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=abe-cto.ai-cryptolist.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/abe-cto.ai-cryptolist.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/abe-cto.ai-cryptolist.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-11 03:08:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies abe-cto.ai-cryptolist.net as a crypto drainer domain designed to mimic a cryptocurrency platform, likely targeting users with fake login portals to steal digital assets. The domain employs a deceptive naming convention (ai-cryptolist.net) to appear legitimate, leveraging AI-related terminology to lure victims. While the exact drainer kit remains unverified, the infrastructure suggests a well-structured operation aimed at capturing credentials or private keys for unauthorized crypto transfers. This domain resolves to IP address 172.67.198.248, which is associated with Cloudflare infrastructure, a common tactic to obscure the true origin of malicious sites. VirusTotal currently shows a detection score of 0/95, indicating no immediate flagging by antivirus engines despite its suspicious activity. The domain was registered through a privacy-protected registrar, further complicating attribution. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may be exploited to lend false credibility to the site. As of the latest analysis, this domain remains active and under investigation, with no confirmed blocklist entries at this time. The current risk level remains under investigation, but users should exercise extreme caution when encountering this domain. PhishDestroy recommends verifying any suspicious URLs before interaction and reporting this domain for further analysis. While technical mitigations are pending, the absence of detections highlights the evolving nature of such threats. Immediate action includes blocking the domain at the network level and educating users about crypto-related scams. Remaining risk factors include the domain's active status and potential for additional malicious payloads. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: df514a3d619cf73e361b6a3194d9c80b TLS cert SHA-256: 18dfe24639ec60ba5c881e9c2c4cdd0fcaa48735bc5fdb859e2feada71784596 ## 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/abe-cto.ai-cryptolist.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=abe-cto.ai-cryptolist.net 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.
