# PhishDestroy threat dossier — alphapepetokenpresale.online ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 00:13:05 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/alphapepetokenpresale.online/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer Phishing kit: Token Presale ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 10/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, Ermes, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: dan.ns.cloudflare.com, maxine.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-06 Expires: 2027-07-06 Page title: AlphaPepe - Best Crypto Presale 2026 HTTP response: 502 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6eff7fb36d4e1e30244f62c23656c356a7c7fc303ae11c98c4d6df2e022bc907 ## 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: 2026-07-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 14:39:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 00:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-08 18:17:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f41bb-e12b-74d0-b8c5-d24e5f34e578/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/alphapepetokenpresale.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.alphapepetokenpresale.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=alphapepetokenpresale.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/alphapepetokenpresale.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/alphapepetokenpresale.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 15:00:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain alphapepetokenpresale.online is currently active and identified as a crypto wallet drainer specifically targeting participants in a fraudulent AlphaPepe token presale. This infrastructure is designed to siphon cryptocurrency from victims by impersonating a legitimate token sale event, leveraging social engineering tactics to exploit investor interest in early-stage crypto projects. Analysis indicates the domain remains operational and poses a high risk to users engaging with decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 06, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which has been observed in prior phishing campaigns. VirusTotal detection shows 1 of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, a low but non-zero indicator of compromise. The page title, 'AlphaPepe - Best Crypto Presale 2026,' directly references the AlphaPepe brand, a known target for impersonation in recent months. No additional blocklist entries or trust scores were identified at the time of analysis, though the domain's recent creation and lack of historical reputation further elevate its risk profile. Current status confirms the domain remains active and accessible, with no evidence of takedown or mitigation efforts. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain or any associated links, particularly those soliciting cryptocurrency deposits. Organizations should implement network-level blocking for the domain and IP address, while individuals should verify presale legitimacy through official project channels only. Cryptocurrency wallet providers and exchanges are recommended to monitor transactions originating from this domain's infrastructure and alert users to potential exposure. Given the domain's recent registration and active status, continued monitoring for related infrastructure is warranted. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3c1378d54608925fe1dff523c02e4f7a TLS cert SHA-256: 6eff7fb36d4e1e30244f62c23656c356a7c7fc303ae11c98c4d6df2e022bc907 ## 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/alphapepetokenpresale.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=alphapepetokenpresale.online 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.
