Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies criptomixer.io as a high-risk phishing domain actively targeting users with fraudulent Bitcoin mixer services. The domain's activity poses a significant threat to cryptocurrency users by attempting to deceive them into compromising their financial information. Evidence supporting this assessment includes the domain's registration through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, its resolution to IP 185.178.208.153, and its inclusion in nine security blocklists. Additionally, the domain is flagged in 16 AlienVault OTX threat pulses and detected by 12 security vendors on VirusTotal. The site remains active since its creation in October 2021, continuing to lure victims under the guise of a 24/7 Bitcoin mixer service. To mitigate risks, users and organizations should block access to criptomixer.io immediately and monitor network traffic for related activity. Updating security filters and educating users about phishing tactics involving cryptocurrency services can further reduce exposure to such threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 78c09ed28741b3d36508c715f9be6cf93b7e6ee3b9a6b2ec570feb8044507b3c TLS cert SHA-256: 8490fee55fd36a3587d150982af2142284aa3233393bc3258e9ef2ab03899081 ## 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/criptomixer.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=criptomixer.io 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.
