Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] connect-basedustsw.xyz — Active Cloudflare-Hosted Phishing Domain This domain, connect-basedustsw.xyz, was registered on July 19, 2026, through Unstoppable Domains Inc. and remains active as of July 20, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals Cloudflare nameservers (anastasia.ns.cloudflare.com and thaddeus.ns.cloudflare.com) and resolution to IP address 45.9.148.81. The domain is flagged by three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, and is detected by 2 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. No specific brand, phishing kit, or targeted scam type has been confirmed in available data, and the exact content of the site has not been analyzed. Defenders should treat this as a high-risk phishing domain due to its recent registration, Cloudflare-hosted infrastructure, and presence on multiple blocklists. Network-level blocking or monitoring of connections to 45.9.148.81 is recommended, along with continued tracking of detection trends for this domain. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260720-6F50AA TLS cert SHA-256: c305cfddd3bd2aa21221d9cd5271e2b584c5d9ada32dd483708b14c97a0cfc65 ## 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/connect-basedustsw.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=connect-basedustsw.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
