Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bafkreifv4toarzwlzqzc2cfi34btq6zfvwxnepfkcrap4bjuev5wdcclc4 as a high-risk generic phishing domain currently active in the wild. This domain does not impersonate a specific brand but instead employs a universal phishing kit designed to harvest credentials and sensitive data indiscriminately. Security researchers have observed this domain being used in wide-scale campaigns where attackers lure victims through deceptive links, often distributed via email spam, social media, or compromised websites. The infrastructure behind this domain is consistent with opportunistic credential harvesting operations, leveraging IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) to host malicious payloads while maintaining anonymity and persistence through decentralized storage. This domain resolves to a known malicious IP address, 209.94.90.2, which has been historically associated with phishing and malware distribution. Registered through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc., the domain was created on February 24, 2017, suggesting it has been active for years, possibly repurposed for malicious activities. The domain is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic to appear legitimate and evade browser-based security warnings. According to VirusTotal, 16 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain as malicious, indicating a significant but not universal consensus on its threat level. It has been blocked by multiple authoritative sources, including OpenPhish, CERT-PL, and OISD, and appears on three separate security blocklists, including Google Safe Browsing (GSB), further corroborating its malicious nature. As of the latest assessment, this domain remains in an active state, with no evidence of takedown or remediation. The persistent use of IPFS hosting complicates mitigation efforts, as decentralized networks are inherently resistant to traditional domain-based interventions. Users are strongly advised to avoid accessing this domain and to report any encounters to their security teams or through platforms like PhishDestroy. The remaining risk is high, as the infrastructure appears stable, and the domain continues to evade widespread blacklisting. Organizations should ensure their threat intelligence feeds are updated to include this domain and consider implementing network-level blocks at the firewall or DNS level to prevent accidental exposure. The combination of a long-standing registration, decentralized hosting, and partial detection by security vendors underscores the need for vigilance and layered defense strategies to mitigate the risk posed by this phishing domain. ## 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/bafkreifv4toarzwlzqzc2cfi34btq6zfvwxnepfkcrap4bjuev5wdcclc4.ipfs.dweb.link/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bafkreifv4toarzwlzqzc2cfi34btq6zfvwxnepfkcrap4bjuev5wdcclc4.ipfs.dweb.link 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.
