Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, apexbasadone.com, is actively engaged in credential theft operations designed to harvest sensitive account information from unsuspecting users. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate login portals, tricking visitors into entering usernames, passwords, and other authentication details. Once captured, these credentials are typically exploited for unauthorized access to personal or financial accounts, leading to potential identity theft or financial loss. The threat is particularly insidious due to its ability to replicate the appearance and functionality of trusted platforms, making detection difficult for non-technical users. Infrastructure analysis reveals several concerning indicators. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and was registered on June 24, 2026, through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu. Despite its recent creation, the domain has already been flagged by 1 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting early detection of malicious intent. Additionally, the SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while legitimate, is often leveraged by threat actors to lend an air of authenticity to fraudulent sites. The combination of a newly registered domain, minimal detection on security platforms, and the use of a trusted SSL provider underscores the elevated risk posed by this infrastructure. Users who have visited apexbasadone.com or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action to mitigate potential harm. First, change passwords for any accounts accessed or entered on the site, prioritizing those linked to financial services or sensitive data. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all accounts where possible to add an additional layer of security. Monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions or suspicious activity, and report any anomalies to the respective service providers. If financial information was exposed, consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze with relevant credit bureaus. Finally, scan devices used to access the site for malware or unwanted software, as credential theft sites may deploy additional payloads to compromise systems further. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260626-607990 Favicon MD5: 7f255561685e28e0656bf8f0c45864fa ## 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/apexbasadone.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=apexbasadone.com 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.
