# PhishDestroy threat dossier — claude-x.app ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-06 11:58:23 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/claude-x.app/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.201.97 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: CloudFlare, Inc. Nameservers: ["lewis.ns.cloudflare.com", "melissa.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-23 Expires: 2027-05-21 Page title: Claudex - mint, fork & earn on Claude Skills HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 06aa98fd49e73bf4fa9df045bb3d8b544d1be29ad400a0b0e364e8b6745e6cec ## 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: 2026-05-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-23 16:32:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-04 01:33:32 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-26 18:25:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e5507-fba0-7674-87da-cb34367f4a64/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/claude-x.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.claude-x.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=claude-x.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/claude-x.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/claude-x.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-23 16:33:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies claude-x.app as an active generic phishing domain impersonating the Claude AI platform, likely leveraging social engineering to deceive victims into disclosing credentials or cryptocurrency assets. The domain utilizes a drainer kit designed to harvest sensitive information or facilitate unauthorized transactions under the guise of a legitimate service. While the exact drainer kit remains unverified, its operational behavior aligns with common phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) models targeting users of AI tools. This domain was flagged with a VirusTotal detection score of 0/95, indicating no current antivirus or security vendor signatures. It resolves to IP 172.67.201.97 and was registered on May 21, 2026, through CloudFlare, Inc., using a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The domain appears on 2 security blocklists and is blocked by MetaMask and SEAL. These indicators suggest a recently established, minimally detected threat infrastructure. The campaign is currently active and under investigation, with response actions including blocklist inclusion and partial vendor blocking. However, the risk remains elevated due to the 0/95 detection rate and recent domain age. Users are strongly advised to avoid accessing claude-x.app and verify any AI-related URLs through official channels. Organizations should monitor for related infrastructure and update threat intelligence feeds accordingly. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 06aa98fd49e73bf4fa9df045bb3d8b544d1be29ad400a0b0e364e8b6745e6cec ## 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/claude-x.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=claude-x.app 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.
