# PhishDestroy threat dossier — aicapital.cyou ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 02:56:25 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aicapital.cyou/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 159.203.143.218 (US, Clifton) ASN: AS14061 DigitalOcean, LLC Hosting org: Digital Ocean Registrar: Nicnames, Inc. Nameservers: ["ns10.nicnames.com", "ns11.nicnames.com", "ns12.nicnames.com"] Registered: 2026-05-04 Page title: The domain aicapital.cyou is powered by NicNames.com HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-06-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: adb9913f43f993af9fdd583de3e9c88e8be477df6caa4758168a4cb56e11eac6 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - parkpage.nicnames.com ## 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: 2026-05-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-04 12:12:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-04 12:10:28 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 04:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:32:11 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019df23e-1b4a-7726-a46b-0cdeacc0d784/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aicapital.cyou crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aicapital.cyou Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aicapital.cyou AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aicapital.cyou URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aicapital.cyou/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-04 12:15:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies aicapital.cyou as a live crypto drainer domain under active threat investigation due to its recent deployment and suspicious infrastructure alignment. This domain is currently operational and engaging in malicious activities designed to deceive users into connecting crypto wallets, which may result in asset drainage or credential compromise. aicapital.cyou was registered through NicNames, Inc, a registrar often leveraged in bulk malicious domain creation campaigns, and is actively resolving to IP address 159.203.143.218 while utilizing a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for added legitimacy. Despite zero detections on VirusTotal as of the latest scan, the domain has already been blocked by MetaMask and SEAL, indicating high-risk classification by multiple security platforms. This domain exhibits multiple red flags indicative of crypto drainer infrastructure. aicapital.cyou was created on May 02, 2026, a recent timestamp suggesting opportunistic deployment aligned with current market events or trends. It has been flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal vendors and currently resides on two security blocklists, including industry-leading threat intelligence feeds. The domain's hosting IP at 159.203.143.218 shows no established trust score and has not been previously indexed in reputable service whitelists. While the page title indicates use of NicNames' hosting infrastructure, this alone does not mitigate risk, as NicNames has been repeatedly observed in abuse reports tied to fraudulent domain registrations. The absence of detections does not equate to safety; rather, it reflects the evasive nature of this threat and its likely targeting of cryptocurrency users under time-sensitive conditions. As of this advisory, aicapital.cyou remains active and unmitigated by major browsers or DNS filters, posing a direct threat to individuals visiting the site. Crypto drainers like this exploit user urgency—such as fake token launches or urgent wallet connection prompts—to trick victims into signing malicious transactions. Users who interact with this domain risk wallet compromise, fund loss, and credential exposure. Immediate action is required: block this domain at the DNS or endpoint level, flag all associated IPs and SSL certificates, and update corporate blocklists. End users should be warned against visiting aicapital.cyou and encouraged to verify URLs via official channels. Further, enterprises should scan network logs for outbound connections to 159.203.143.218 and inspect any internal hosts that resolved this domain. This threat is ongoing, and proactive monitoring is essential to prevent compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8881e93bb648c6a652ead546572ecbb TLS cert SHA-256: adb9913f43f993af9fdd583de3e9c88e8be477df6caa4758168a4cb56e11eac6 ## 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/aicapital.cyou/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aicapital.cyou 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.
