# PhishDestroy threat dossier — blockdagchains.network ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-25 00:32:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/blockdagchains.network/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 86/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation (BlockDAG) Targeted brand: BlockDAG ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.136.132 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["quinton.ns.cloudflare.com", "olivia.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Become a Part Of BlockDAG Network | Buy BDAG Coins & Miners ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-05-23 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: bca054be26054b02a6ae5df4e19ee8b740bf56e64ff0d4f970512f6d83ea0c4e ## 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: 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: 2026-02-20 19:11:09 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-13 07:50:32 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-27 02:54:58 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019c7bcf-e66a-740a-9632-25ea00941225/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/blockdagchains.network crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.blockdagchains.network Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=blockdagchains.network AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/blockdagchains.network URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/blockdagchains.network/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:18:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies blockdagchains.network as a medium-risk phishing domain impersonating the legitimate BlockDAG brand. This impersonation aims to mislead users into purchasing fake BDAG coins and miners, posing financial risks and potential data compromise. Such brand spoofing attacks undermine trust and can lead to severe losses. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. It resolved to IP 172.67.136.132 and appeared on four security blocklists. VirusTotal flagged it with 4 out of 95 security vendors detecting malicious activity. Although the domain is currently offline, its previous activity included a page titled "Become a Part Of BlockDAG Network | Buy BDAG Coins & Miners," designed to appear legitimate. Users should remain cautious and avoid interacting with blockdagchains.network or any unsolicited links referencing BlockDAG. Verify all communications through official BlockDAG channels. Employ updated security tools to detect and block similar phishing attempts, and report suspicious domains promptly to reduce the risk of fraud. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: c1644d19e796afdd60ada8145be62e4f338211cdc5f747665187c3b045d058be TLS cert SHA-256: bca054be26054b02a6ae5df4e19ee8b740bf56e64ff0d4f970512f6d83ea0c4e ## 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/blockdagchains.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=blockdagchains.network 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.
