# PhishDestroy threat dossier — crest-finance.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-30 06:42:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/crest-finance.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Curve ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 91.235.142.249 (UA, Kyiv) ASN: AS30860 Virtual Systems LLC Hosting org: OWL PROTECT LLC Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-01-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-27 06:23:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-27 10:20:11 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-30 04:20:24 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019fa2a5-20fe-7671-aa1a-28b4a07bf210/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/97f125d7-b4a4-422b-99fb-0c2a5811ebb5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/crest-finance.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.crest-finance.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=crest-finance.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/crest-finance.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/crest-finance.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 06:26:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] crest-finance.net: Confirmed Phishing Site crest-finance.net has been observed in a single security blocklist and is actively listed by PhishDestroy as a phishing source. The domain was registered through NameSilo, LLC on 2025-01-01 and remains active. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 91.235.142.249, served by the authoritative nameservers ns21.v-sys.org and ns22.v-sys.org. VirusTotal analysis records a single positive detection out of 91 scanned security vendors, indicating that at least one vendor has identified malicious behavior associated with the domain. No additional public signals such as Safe Browsing entries, OTX references, SSL certificate details, HTTP status codes, or page title information have been disclosed in the current intelligence set. Consequently, the precise content and target of the phishing campaign remain unverified, though the classification as generic phishing is supported by the blocklist entry and the vendor flag. The lack of publicly available page metadata prevents confirmation of the exact phishing lure, and the single vendor detection does not reveal the specific detection signature. Given the high‑risk rating, the domain should be treated as actively malicious. Defensive actions should include immediate DNS‑based blocking of crest‑finance.net and its resolved IP address, inclusion of the domain in web‑proxy and email‑gateway denial lists, and ongoing monitoring for any changes in its hosting or resolution. Networks should enforce TLS inspection where possible to capture any transmitted credentials, and endpoint protection should flag any attempted connections to the domain or IP. Security teams should also query additional threat‑intel feeds for potential updates and, if feasible, conduct a controlled fetch of the site to capture any payloads or credential‑stealing forms for deeper analysis. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-695934 Favicon MD5: e93d23e453eb909be600a8ed8cc3025a TLS cert SHA-256: e73e260d783eb9b34139a8013b056e984a56ccb37698e97ab34e1e8df1403ada ## 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/crest-finance.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crest-finance.net 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.
