# PhishDestroy threat dossier — akita-network.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-05 15:57:05 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/akita-network.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer Targeted brand: Manta ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.56.167 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["addilyn.ns.cloudflare.com", "howard.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-18 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-13 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 732cf9a6a2abc33ae0e13d23e1614167d55fb0a7fa69b39dcc0a2640db635899 ## 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: 2026-05-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-18 23:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 06:44:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-05 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-02 18:28:24 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 18:26:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk fake crypto wallet drainer site targeting cryptocurrency users. Analysis indicates it is designed to mimic legitimate wallet interfaces, tricking victims into connecting wallets and executing malicious transactions that siphon funds. The infrastructure exhibits characteristics typical of automated drainer kits, including Cloudflare obfuscation and Let's Encrypt SSL certificates for perceived legitimacy. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain akita-network.xyz was registered on May 18, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with phishing activity. It resolves to IP address 104.21.56.167, hosted by Cloudflare, Inc. in Canada, which is commonly used to mask the true origin of malicious sites. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (serial number E8), a free certificate authority often exploited by threat actors to create HTTPS connections. VirusTotal detection shows 1 out of 95 security vendors flag the domain as malicious, while PhishDestroy has explicitly blocked it. The domain appears on one security blocklist, indicating emerging but confirmed malicious status. The creation date discrepancy (2026) suggests either a typo or intentional misconfiguration to evade temporal-based detection rules. Mitigation requires immediate action from both end users and network defenders. Cryptocurrency users should verify wallet addresses through official sources before connecting to any site, especially those promoted via unsolicited messages or social media. Browser-based crypto wallet extensions should be configured to require manual approval for all transaction requests. Network administrators should implement DNS-based blocking for akita-network.xyz and its resolving IP 104.21.56.167 at the firewall level. Security teams should monitor for connections to this domain in proxy logs and correlate with cryptocurrency transaction anomalies. Given the use of Cloudflare, defenders should also check for related domains using the same IP range (104.21.0.0/16) or SSL certificate characteristics. Users who may have interacted with this site should immediately revoke all connected wallet permissions and transfer assets to a new, secure wallet address. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 45c07ed2cc648c237e08e6c0d11b1102 TLS cert SHA-256: 732cf9a6a2abc33ae0e13d23e1614167d55fb0a7fa69b39dcc0a2640db635899 ## 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/akita-network.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=akita-network.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.
