Nameservers: clarissa.ns.cloudflare.com, tate.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2017-02-24 Expires: 2026-02-24 Page title: Synthetix ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-04-25 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b0f8011326dd0e8a1ae8481540208adfc888bb71273b3bd3bc56e92749f9f5db Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - dweb.link ## 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: 2017-02-24 (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) First reported: 2025-08-09 14:08:08 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-23 20:18:59 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 15:22:39 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01988fcd-6213-729b-ae73-31993a91c38c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bafybeietwuxjz6bdpyiuv52eesrug4x6gocpsj32wdcvv4l4z6rzgjgf5a.ipfs.dweb.link crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bafybeietwuxjz6bdpyiuv52eesrug4x6gocpsj32wdcvv4l4z6rzgjgf5a.ipfs.dweb.link Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bafybeietwuxjz6bdpyiuv52eesrug4x6gocpsj32wdcvv4l4z6rzgjgf5a.ipfs.dweb.link AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bafybeietwuxjz6bdpyiuv52eesrug4x6gocpsj32wdcvv4l4z6rzgjgf5a.ipfs.dweb.link URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bafybeietwuxjz6bdpyiuv52eesrug4x6gocpsj32wdcvv4l4z6rzgjgf5a.ipfs.dweb.link/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:36:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified the domain bafybeietwuxjz6bdpyiuv52eesrug4x6gocpsj32wdcvv4l4z6rzgjgf5a.ipfs.dweb.link as associated with generic phishing activity. Although classified as low risk, this domain posed a potential threat by attempting to deceive users, possibly to capture sensitive information or credentials. It is important for users and organizations to remain vigilant as even low-risk phishing domains can be part of broader attack campaigns. Analysis reveals that this domain was registered through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. on February 24, 2017. It resolved to the IP address 209.94.90.2 and appeared on four distinct security blocklists, suggesting some level of recognition by threat intelligence sources. VirusTotal reported only one detection out of 95 security vendors, indicating a relatively low detection rate. Currently, the domain has been taken offline, reducing its immediate threat. Users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain and to remain cautious when encountering similar suspicious URLs, especially those with long, complex subdomains or those routing through decentralized web gateways like ipfs.dweb.link. Organizations should ensure their security solutions are updated to detect such phishing attempts and educate users on the risks of unsolicited or unfamiliar links. Monitoring for any resurgence of this or related domains is also recommended to maintain a proactive defense posture. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: b0f8011326dd0e8a1ae8481540208adfc888bb71273b3bd3bc56e92749f9f5db ## 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/bafybeietwuxjz6bdpyiuv52eesrug4x6gocpsj32wdcvv4l4z6rzgjgf5a.ipfs.dweb.link/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bafybeietwuxjz6bdpyiuv52eesrug4x6gocpsj32wdcvv4l4z6rzgjgf5a.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.
