Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, capital-vaults.top, is currently flagged as a high-risk phishing threat targeting financial services. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on March 6, 2026, through a registrar known for hosting suspicious infrastructure. While the creation date appears anomalous—likely due to a typo or intentional misreporting—the domain remains active and resolves to the IP address 185.66.143.35. Security vendors have detected malicious activity, with 14 out of 95 engines on a widely used scanning platform identifying the domain as harmful. The presence of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate does not mitigate the risk, as such certificates are commonly used to lend a false sense of legitimacy to phishing sites. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain is already blocked by at least one security provider and appears on a public blocklist, suggesting it has been operational long enough to attract attention. The hosting IP, 185.66.143.35, has been associated with other malicious domains in the past, though specific details about the autonomous system or geographic origin remain unverified. The lack of additional context about the targeted brand or phishing kit in use introduces some uncertainty, but the combination of active blocking and vendor detections strongly indicates a deliberate attempt to deceive users. Defenders should treat this domain as hostile and implement immediate countermeasures. Network-level blocking of the IP 185.66.143.35 and the domain capital-vaults.top is recommended to prevent user exposure. Security teams should also monitor for related domains registered through the same registrar, as this may indicate a broader campaign. End-user education should emphasize the risks of interacting with unfamiliar financial platforms, particularly those using recently registered domains or offering unrealistic investment opportunities. Given the high-risk classification and active status, this domain should be considered a live threat until further evidence suggests otherwise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 55efec31b23f924e957c72c745a674a1 TLS cert SHA-256: c47147d318e67b47bb18acd1ebb982d83fd93ffa95f18b2fc59a4ba5d9634e0d ## 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/capital-vaults.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=capital-vaults.top 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.
