Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies blackhole-prize.xyz as a tech support scam domain posing as a fake prize claim portal. This site lures victims with promises of large cash rewards in exchange for upfront payment of alleged processing fees or taxes, a classic hallmark of advance-fee fraud. Once users enter personal or payment details, the threat actor captures sensitive data or demands additional payments under fabricated pretenses. The domain’s design mimics legitimate sweepstakes platforms, leveraging urgency and reward psychology to bypass user skepticism. This domain was flagged across multiple threat intelligence platforms, including VirusTotal with 2 of 95 security vendors detecting malicious activity, and it appears on 1 known security blocklist. It was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and went live on April 08, 2026. The site resolves to IP address 104.21.89.85 and holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt, which malicious domains often exploit to appear trustworthy. It has also been blocked by ScamSniffer, reinforcing its active role in deception campaigns. If you have visited blackhole-prize.xyz, immediately cease all communication with the site and avoid entering any personal, financial, or login information. Do not click on any links or download files from the page. If you provided payment details, contact your bank or card issuer to report potential fraud and request a card replacement or transaction reversal. Run a full antivirus scan on your device and monitor financial accounts for unauthorized activity. Report the domain to your local cybercrime unit or platforms like PhishDestroy to help protect others. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 2cc41790ef81b3ad77d17412bd7697b9 ## 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/blackhole-prize.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=blackhole-prize.xyz 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.
