# PhishDestroy threat dossier — crdlink.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 14:34:47 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/crdlink.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 66.228.61.148 (US, Atlanta) ASN: AS63949 Akamai Connected Cloud Hosting org: Linode Registrar: NAMECHEAP INC Nameservers: dns1.registrar-servers.com, dns2.registrar-servers.com Registered: 2026-06-17 Expires: 2027-06-17 Page title: Nexora Card — Privacy-First Crypto Spending HTTP response: 502 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE2 Expires: 2026-09-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5786f3020a283af0b62142a96e8b8f9344523880a10e59dbebcf5c0d8f86da36 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.crdlink.com ## 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: 2026-06-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 16:37:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-29 14:46:46 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 16:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 18:17:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f13ce-dc15-73b4-8f78-40ec81169d51/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f382468d-ed1c-489d-8864-65b1bab582ad Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/crdlink.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.crdlink.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=crdlink.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/crdlink.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/crdlink.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 16:46:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, crdlink.com, is flagged as a high-risk generic phishing site designed to impersonate Nexora Card, a privacy-focused crypto spending service. Analysis of the page title, "Nexora Card — Privacy-First Crypto Spending," indicates an intent to deceive users into entering sensitive credentials or financial details under the guise of a legitimate cryptocurrency platform. No specific drainer kit signatures have been identified at this time, but the domain exhibits classic phishing infrastructure characteristics, including the use of a recently registered domain and a low detection rate on security platforms. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on June 17, 2024, through NAMECHEAP INC, a registrar frequently associated with malicious activity due to its accessibility and low-cost domain offerings. It resolves to the IP address 66.228.61.148, which has been observed in prior phishing campaigns targeting financial services. As of the latest scan, only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged this domain, suggesting either a novel threat or effective evasion techniques. The domain employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic to lend an air of legitimacy to phishing sites. No entries were found in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) at the time of analysis, and blocklist counts remain minimal, further indicating its current effectiveness in evading detection. The domain remains active as of this report, with no takedown or sinkholing actions observed. Users are advised to treat crdlink.com as a confirmed malicious entity and avoid interaction with any content hosted on it. Organizations should consider implementing network-level blocks for the domain and its associated IP address (66.228.61.148) to prevent potential credential theft or financial fraud. Given the low detection rate, additional monitoring of related infrastructure is recommended, as this campaign may expand to include additional domains or IP addresses. The use of multi-factor authentication and browser-based phishing filters is strongly advised to mitigate the risk posed by this threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260629-73248F Favicon MD5: 5ebe52ed48ae5d492406c180710c67e4 TLS cert SHA-256: 5786f3020a283af0b62142a96e8b8f9344523880a10e59dbebcf5c0d8f86da36 ## 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/crdlink.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crdlink.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.
