# PhishDestroy threat dossier — api-dsbot-pay.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 09:10:35 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/api-dsbot-pay.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 92/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 8/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.39.169 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: abby.ns.cloudflare.com, finley.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-08-22 Expires: 2026-08-22 Page title: Drainer Shop Bot - Crypto Payment ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-07-15 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 2651cd2fb268eba9a505fcca0b43a9c3ff1a5a891499e85245e80220e80b627a ## 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: 2025-08-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 09:30:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 09:30:06 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:25:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e81df-4551-77ea-b9bf-63f859865b6a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/api-dsbot-pay.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.api-dsbot-pay.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=api-dsbot-pay.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/api-dsbot-pay.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/api-dsbot-pay.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 13:47:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis indicates api-dsbot-pay.cc is an active domain associated with a crypto drainer phishing operation. The observed page title, "Drainer Shop Bot - Crypto Payment", suggests infrastructure designed to facilitate fraudulent cryptocurrency transactions, wallet interaction prompts, or credential harvesting workflows targeting digital asset holders. Such operations commonly attempt to induce users to connect wallets, approve malicious transactions, disclose recovery phrases, or authorize transfers that result in irreversible asset loss. The domain remains active and should be considered high risk based on the available indicators. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. and was created on August 22, 2025. The domain currently resolves to IP address 104.21.39.169 and is hosted within US-based network infrastructure associated with AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Security telemetry shows that 8/95 security vendors flag the domain, indicating measurable detection coverage across threat intelligence sources. The domain appears on 1 security blocklist and has been blocked by PhishDestroy. Additional technical indicators include an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services / WE1 and an active operational status at the time of analysis. These factors are consistent with infrastructure that remains reachable despite ongoing security detections. Users who interacted with this domain should assume potential exposure to cryptocurrency theft or credential compromise. Any wallet connected to the site should be reviewed immediately for unauthorized approvals, token allowances, and suspicious transactions. Recovery phrases, private keys, passwords, or authentication data entered on the site should be treated as compromised. Security response actions should include revoking unnecessary wallet permissions, transferring assets to a secure wallet if compromise is suspected, changing reused credentials, enabling stronger account protections, and monitoring blockchain activity for unauthorized transfers. Continued monitoring is recommended because the domain remains active and accessible. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 2651cd2fb268eba9a505fcca0b43a9c3ff1a5a891499e85245e80220e80b627a ## 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/api-dsbot-pay.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=api-dsbot-pay.cc 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.
