Nameservers: clarissa.ns.cloudflare.com, tate.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2017-02-24 Expires: 2026-02-24 Page title: Gyroscope ## 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 13:07:56 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-23 20:20:06 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 19:19:59 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01988f96-a507-7318-9206-5e6c838d7072/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bafybeifqsy4i2xejq5goxyzbuufogxpqgugbowdte35bpuvzrccwy5cnr4.ipfs.dweb.link crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bafybeifqsy4i2xejq5goxyzbuufogxpqgugbowdte35bpuvzrccwy5cnr4.ipfs.dweb.link Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bafybeifqsy4i2xejq5goxyzbuufogxpqgugbowdte35bpuvzrccwy5cnr4.ipfs.dweb.link AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bafybeifqsy4i2xejq5goxyzbuufogxpqgugbowdte35bpuvzrccwy5cnr4.ipfs.dweb.link URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bafybeifqsy4i2xejq5goxyzbuufogxpqgugbowdte35bpuvzrccwy5cnr4.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 bafybeifqsy4i2xejq5goxyzbuufogxpqgugdte35bpuvzrccwy5cnr4.ipfs.dweb.link as associated with generic phishing activity. The threat level is assessed as low based on available intelligence, suggesting limited malicious impact or reach. The page title "Gyroscope" was observed, though it provides little context to the phishing intent. Technical analysis reveals the domain was created on February 24, 2017, and registered via CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. It resolved to the IP address 209.94.90.3 and appeared on four security blocklists, indicating some level of suspicion among security services. Despite these flags, VirusTotal scans show only one out of 95 vendors detecting any malicious content, reinforcing the low-risk classification. The domain’s trust score from Scamadviser is notably low at 20/100. Currently, the domain is offline and no longer resolving, which mitigates immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends continued monitoring for any resurgence or related domains. Users and organizations should remain cautious when encountering similar IPFS gateway domains, especially those flagged by blocklists or with poor trust scores, and maintain vigilance against potential phishing attempts. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## 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/bafybeifqsy4i2xejq5goxyzbuufogxpqgugbowdte35bpuvzrccwy5cnr4.ipfs.dweb.link/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bafybeifqsy4i2xejq5goxyzbuufogxpqgugbowdte35bpuvzrccwy5cnr4.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.
