No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-24 19:33:33 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-24 16:33:55 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-30 18:06:54 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dc055-217a-7538-a1fe-e9aa73be6364/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5c203cd1-a4c1-4f95-8c28-c14fb4cb6aa6 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/crownexportandinvest.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.crownexportandinvest.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=crownexportandinvest.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/crownexportandinvest.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/crownexportandinvest.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-24 19:34:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] crownexportandinvest.com has been flagged as a generic phishing domain designed to deceive users through investment-themed social engineering tactics. This domain does not yet show indicators of a sophisticated drainer kit or direct brand impersonation, suggesting it may be in an early deployment phase. The threat appears to rely on domain naming mimicking legitimate export and investment operations, potentially targeting individuals or businesses in international trade or financial sectors. While no specific drainer or credential theft malware payload has been confirmed, the domain’s infrastructure and naming conventions align with known phishing lures used to harvest sensitive data. Technical analysis of crownexportandinvest.com reveals critical indicators: the domain resolves to IP 163.61.188.7, registered through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown. The domain was created on October 23, 2025, indicating a very recent registration. The domain holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, which may be used to establish false trust in users. Notably, VirusTotal currently shows 0 out of 95 detection engines flagging the domain, suggesting low immediate antivirus coverage. Further threat intelligence indicates this domain remains unlisted in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) and has no confirmed entries in major threat blocklists at this time. The absence of historical data means behavioral or reputation-based detection is not yet possible. As of this report, crownexportandinvest.com is classified as active with a risk level of 'under_investigation'. The domain is not yet widely blocked or flagged, posing a latent risk to uninformed users. Immediate recommended actions include adding the domain and IP (163.61.188.7) to organizational or personal blocklists and avoiding any interaction with the site. Users should verify investment opportunities through official corporate websites using verified domains and confirm registration legitimacy via independent channels. The current risk remains elevated due to the domain’s freshness, lack of detection coverage, and SSL-enabled deception, warranting heightened caution and proactive blocking measures. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260424-0DB7C1 Favicon MD5: 45bb427806db84de1770ed8a75037807 TLS cert SHA-256: cbb54d3f5c0da16d4211e4d212ba09409933c9b24091062f6ebcd99aca148252 ## 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/crownexportandinvest.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crownexportandinvest.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
