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: 2026-05-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-30 08:37:16 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-30 05:38:19 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 00:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-31 00:15:56 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e7760-bbbe-731f-95ad-77c3d9cfbd93/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f5554df1-134f-43de-9980-484598dfff2e Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/core-finance-llc.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.core-finance-llc.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=core-finance-llc.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/core-finance-llc.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/core-finance-llc.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 18:36:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk fake cryptocurrency platform, classified under generic_phishing infrastructure. Analysis indicates the site is designed to deceive users into interacting with fraudulent financial services, likely functioning as a crypto drainer or credential harvester. The presence of a Chinese-language default page title (恭喜，站点创建成功!) suggests targeting of non-English-speaking users, while the technical setup points to deliberate obfuscation of malicious intent. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: The domain core-finance-llc.com was registered on May 28, 2026, through Cloudflare, Inc., a registrar frequently exploited for phishing operations due to its privacy and proxy services. It resolves to IP address 104.129.59.3, hosted on AS36352 (HostPapa) in the United States. The domain appears on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by multiple threat intelligence feeds. VirusTotal reports 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while its SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YR1), a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites seeking free encryption. The domain remains active as of this assessment, with no signs of takedown or remediation. Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediate blocking of the domain and its associated IP (104.129.59.3) at the network perimeter. Organizations should update endpoint protection rules to detect and prevent access to core-finance-llc.com, particularly in environments where cryptocurrency transactions or financial services are conducted. Users should be alerted to the presence of fake crypto platforms, with emphasis on verifying domain registration dates (this domain uses a future-dated creation timestamp, a red flag for fraud). Security teams are advised to monitor for related infrastructure, including domains registered through Cloudflare with similar naming patterns or Let's Encrypt certificates issued within the same timeframe. If user exposure is confirmed, initiate incident response protocols for potential crypto wallet compromise or credential theft. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260530-58F910 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 5aadc31e94cf2bc0400bc0a556a3750d587528324ea8394aac4b39051843021f ## 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/core-finance-llc.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=core-finance-llc.com 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.
