Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, block-bay.com, is currently under investigation as an active credential-theft phishing site. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to the IP address 185.66.143.35, a host that has been repeatedly associated with fraudulent activity in recent months. The domain was registered on July 5, 2026, through a registrar known for handling high volumes of suspicious domains, which further elevates concerns regarding its legitimacy. While the registration date appears anomalous—suggesting either a typo or deliberate obfuscation—this does not diminish the immediate threat posed by the site. Security vendor assessments provide concrete evidence of malicious intent, with 8 out of 95 engines on a widely used threat intelligence platform flagging the domain as phishing-related. Additionally, the domain appears on at least one security blocklist, and an independent phishing detection system has already classified it as malicious. The use of a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, while common among legitimate sites, is frequently exploited by threat actors to lend a false sense of security to potential victims. This tactic is particularly effective in credential-theft campaigns, where users may be more likely to enter sensitive information if they perceive the site as encrypted. What remains uncertain is the specific brand or service being impersonated, as well as the exact phishing kit in use. However, the combination of technical indicators—including the IP address, registrar history, and vendor detections—strongly suggests this is not an isolated incident but part of a broader campaign. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and implement immediate blocking at the network level. Organizations are advised to monitor for any connections to 185.66.143.35 or attempts to access block-bay.com, as these may indicate compromised credentials or ongoing phishing attempts. Proactive measures, such as DNS sinkholing and endpoint protection updates, are recommended to mitigate potential exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 4339fb92f042353f96d129cac40ce81c TLS cert SHA-256: 7b687b5fcab7c81fc0cbcfc2d6d637e2549d96c5b139e97d2a41724516ab1d0c ## 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/block-bay.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=block-bay.com 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.
