Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies coretific.online as a dangerous phishing domain designed to deceive users by impersonating Core Scientific. This site posed a high-risk threat by attempting to steal sensitive personal and login information from unsuspecting visitors. Despite being taken offline, its prior activity demands caution from users who may have encountered it. This phishing scheme worked by mimicking the Core Scientific brand to create a facade of legitimacy, tricking users into entering confidential details. The domain resolved to IP address 128.241.254.14 and was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. VirusTotal analysis flagged the domain with 11 out of 95 security vendors marking it as malicious, and it appeared on one security blacklist, underscoring its malicious intent. If you have visited coretific.online, it is crucial to monitor your accounts for unusual activity, immediately change any passwords entered on the site, and enable multi-factor authentication where possible. Users should remain vigilant for phishing attempts by verifying domain authenticity before submitting personal data and report suspicious domains to trusted security services. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: fac6aa612067803a88b497829633c707 TLS cert SHA-256: d77508956ca14f62fe9fb8c35899cff695c60bf5f416d293e667927ef681058c ## 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/coretific.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coretific.online 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.
