# PhishDestroy threat dossier — apocalypse.markets ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 06:09:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/apocalypse.markets/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 69/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Spaceship, Inc. Nameservers: ["nile.ns.cloudflare.com", "clara.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-19 Expires: 2026-12-01 Page title: Apocalypse Market - Secure Darknet Marketplace | Official Onion URL ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b10bee3052a42baee52be70c121eb4ef783f79218940904d10ad697e6b7fd275 ## 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: 2026-05-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-19 22:38:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-19 19:41:21 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-28 07:45:30 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:29 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e41bc-df7b-7054-99f2-a1defc995430/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/cb38038c-5989-4253-9182-11d6111ffd99 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/apocalypse.markets crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.apocalypse.markets Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=apocalypse.markets AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/apocalypse.markets URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/apocalypse.markets/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 05:15:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain apocalypse.markets is identified as a generic phishing site impersonating a darknet marketplace and is currently offline. The threat type is categorized as a fake login page designed to capture user credentials and other sensitive information. This domain poses an elevated risk to users and should be avoided. Analysis indicates that apocalypse.markets has been flagged by 3 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a low but notable level of suspicion. The domain was registered through Spaceship, Inc. on May 19, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. The site uses technologies such as Cloudflare Browser Insights and HTTP/3, which can obscure the true origin of the content. The Gridinsoft trust score for this domain is 0/100, indicating a complete lack of trustworthiness. Additionally, the domain appears on 1 security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, further confirming its malicious nature. Given that apocalypse.markets is currently offline, users are advised to avoid any interaction with this domain. Security teams should monitor for any resurgence in activity and ensure that network configurations block access to this domain. Additionally, users should be educated on the dangers of darknet marketplaces and the importance of verifying the authenticity of onion URLs before engaging with any website claiming to be a secure darknet marketplace. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260519-D71126 Favicon MD5: 5463320971df0e8122fe41116025384c TLS cert SHA-256: b10bee3052a42baee52be70c121eb4ef783f79218940904d10ad697e6b7fd275 ## 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/apocalypse.markets/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=apocalypse.markets 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.
