No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-03-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-28 01:20:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-27 22:55:13 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-13 07:48:51 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-29 08:03:53 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners 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/019d3160-87cd-742d-9a5b-7c06d1b5fc4b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/723062db-a9da-4028-8d74-0fd8352983e0 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/avapool.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.avapool.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=avapool.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/avapool.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/avapool.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-28 01:21:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies avapool.org as an active crypto drainer phishing domain with elevated risk. This domain mimics legitimate crypto services to trick users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets or submitting credentials under false pretenses. This domain was flagged by security vendors with a VirusTotal detection ratio of 1 out of 95, indicating low but notable malicious activity. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on May 23, 2025, and resolves to IP address 104.21.73.228. Despite the presence of an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, the domain remains untrusted due to its association with crypto drainer operations and lack of inclusion on major blocklists at this time. Users should avoid interacting with avapool.org entirely, especially when prompted for wallet connections or credential submissions. Before engaging with any crypto-related website, verify domain legitimacy through official channels, use hardware wallets for transactions, and consult reputable threat intelligence feeds. If accidental interaction occurs, revoke any connected wallet permissions immediately and transfer remaining funds to a secure wallet. Report the domain to your security provider and relevant crypto platforms to help disrupt ongoing phishing campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260327-128DA1 Favicon MD5: b791a5490e4f642fa9517db6fdcf7afa TLS cert SHA-256: b61b0e00bcb3fddaa3c0ace7884bb7f24706d422a1c0a3e1aa5a04251358bbf3 ## 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/avapool.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=avapool.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.
