No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-19 00:53:00 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:27:06 UTC (STALE — 22 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-02-27 03:02:29 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 22 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 22 days stale) 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/019c735f-6563-775b-847e-48f1444342a4/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c9996e24-5890-4444-85e4-25fc79f35d3e Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/auracards.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.auracards.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=auracards.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/auracards.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/auracards.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 16:26:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies auracards.org as a low-risk phishing domain leveraging a cryptocurrency card theme without KYC to entice users. The site falsely advertised Aura Pay's crypto card services, aiming to deceive visitors into divulging sensitive data. Although categorized as generic phishing, its potential impact remains limited. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC and resolved to the IP address 172.67.145.198. It appeared on two security blocklists and was flagged by two security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating some recognition of its malicious intent. The website’s infrastructure suggests an attempt to mimic legitimate crypto financial services to lure unsuspecting targets. Currently, auracards.org is offline and inaccessible, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends maintaining vigilance for similar phishing schemes exploiting cryptocurrency themes. Users should avoid engaging with unsolicited crypto card offers and verify legitimacy through official channels. Organizations are advised to continue monitoring domain registrations related to crypto services to preempt emerging threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260219-222297 Favicon SHA-256: c5be2d03a97cdeb3d386d7df9c642a33199c11c791366053fc8ed7db9e33c72b TLS cert SHA-256: 6b0fabec00712f70cfe92eb0aaea4336e72206400d635e8725dd25317d95e777 ## 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/auracards.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=auracards.org 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.
