Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] bk.edgecapitaltrust.co — High-Risk Phishing Domain Investigation This domain, bk.edgecapitaltrust.co, is under investigation as an active high-risk phishing threat. Registered on August 1, 2025, through Spaceship, Inc., the domain remains operational as of July 23, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolves to the IP address 178.162.234.23 and utilizes nameservers cs11.hpcnoc.com and cs12.hpcnoc.com. Detection data from VirusTotal indicates that 7 out of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, suggesting moderate but not universal recognition of its malicious nature. The domain appears on at least one security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, reinforcing its classification as a confirmed phishing resource. The exact content or targeted brand of the phishing site has not yet been analyzed, though the domain name may imply a connection to financial or investment services. Defenders should treat this domain as highly suspicious due to its registration details, hosting infrastructure, and detection history. No SSL certificate data or HTTP response details are currently available, limiting further assessment of its operational behavior. Given the domain's persistence and detection by multiple security vendors, network-level blocking is recommended for organizations seeking to mitigate exposure. Additional monitoring of the IP address 178.162.234.23 and associated nameservers may reveal related malicious activity, as threat actors frequently reuse infrastructure across campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260723-D07A30 Favicon MD5: bdfc67ea3e77bab3c8afed2942a4f9b3 TLS cert SHA-256: b334e65b8cb42ad06d84f9aa37025c241958078b909891323ab24d8c1ee1d842 ## 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 (operator 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/bk.edgecapitaltrust.co/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bk.edgecapitaltrust.co 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
