# PhishDestroy threat dossier — claim-opengradient.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-25 21:55:56 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/claim-opengradient.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 92/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.76.165 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: adam.ns.cloudflare.com, danica.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-21 Expires: 2027-04-21 ## 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: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 22:33:40 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 20:34:56 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 03:04:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efb55-e0a1-747e-93bb-f3085d49450e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/claim-opengradient.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.claim-opengradient.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=claim-opengradient.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/claim-opengradient.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/claim-opengradient.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 22:34:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain operates as a crypto_drainer, a specialized threat designed to intercept and divert cryptocurrency transactions to attacker-controlled wallets. When a user initiates a legitimate transaction, often through a compromised interface or deceptive link, the domain silently modifies the destination address to one operated by cybercriminals. Funds are then irrecoverably transferred to fraudulent accounts, resulting in financial loss with no possibility of reversal. The domain mimics legitimate services, exploiting user trust in familiar branding to facilitate unauthorized fund transfers. Analysis indicates this is not an attempted phishing lure but an active deployment targeting cryptocurrency users directly. Analysis indicates this domain resolves to IP address 104.21.76.165 and is currently hosted on infrastructure associated with Cloudflare’s nameservers (adam.ns.cloudflare.com, danica.ns.cloudflare.com). The domain was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com on April 21, 2026, and remains active despite appearing on 2 security blocklists. Uniquely, as of seed a45b69, it shows 0 detections across 95 security engines on VirusTotal, indicating it has evaded immediate signature-based detection. The recent creation date and clean detection profile suggest a high likelihood of being a newly deployed or rotating infrastructure component in an ongoing campaign. If you visited this domain, immediately check all cryptocurrency wallet transactions for any unauthorized transfers. Disconnect any connected hardware wallets and revoke any recently approved smart contract permissions. Do not approve new transaction requests without verifying the recipient address offline. If funds were stolen, report the incident to local law enforcement and blockchain analytics firms with the transaction hash. Avoid reusing browser sessions or wallets that may have been exposed during this visit. Consider resetting browser profiles and clearing cached data to prevent persistent tracking. Monitor blockchain explorers for any new transactions linked to this domain or its associated addresses. Stay vigilant for follow-up phishing attempts exploiting this exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-321924 Favicon MD5: e405c7e75ef84f9e0dfd9f0426051847 ## 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/claim-opengradient.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=claim-opengradient.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.
