No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (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) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-21 14:26:25 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:15:04 UTC (STALE — 22 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-02-23 06:06:09 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 22 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 22 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019be04d-c3e8-7418-8071-0d8d66becd86/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/blockchainsecexplorer.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.blockchainsecexplorer.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=blockchainsecexplorer.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/blockchainsecexplorer.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/blockchainsecexplorer.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:53:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies blockchainsecexplorer.com as a low-risk generic phishing domain. The site, titled "Blockchain Security Explorer," was designed to mislead users by mimicking blockchain-related services to obtain sensitive information. Despite the low threat level, users should exercise caution and avoid engagement to protect personal data. The domain was registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB on February 21, 2026, and resolved to IP address 82.197.80.12. It has a poor reputation with a Scamadviser trust score of 21/100 and is listed on four security blocklists. VirusTotal flagged the domain by 2 out of 95 security vendors, while Gridinsoft gave it a trust score of 0/100, indicating significant risk associated with the infrastructure. Currently, blockchainsecexplorer.com is taken offline, reducing immediate risk. Users are advised to avoid revisiting the domain and to remain vigilant against similar phishing attempts. Maintaining updated security software and verifying domain credibility before sharing any credentials is recommended to mitigate potential threats. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 91079644ee1e76145b30c207470b56866770b0564f0fbf1373ab8b11d94f8c9f ## 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/blockchainsecexplorer.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=blockchainsecexplorer.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
