No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-27 01:49:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-26 23:52:23 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 14:16:47 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0655-752b-7462-b3fd-4bc2a2c34dc9/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/3bf3f653-af7d-4158-9012-04f5f42f03a1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cryptnewchronicle.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cryptnewchronicle.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cryptnewchronicle.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cryptnewchronicle.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cryptnewchronicle.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-27 01:56:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a potential cryptocurrency credential harvesting site, designed to mimic legitimate cryptocurrency news or wallet platforms. Analysis indicates the domain is actively soliciting user input, likely through fake login portals or fraudulent wallet interfaces, to capture sensitive authentication details such as private keys, seed phrases, or exchange credentials. The threat targets individuals involved in cryptocurrency transactions, exploiting the irreversible nature of blockchain-based transfers to facilitate financial theft or account takeovers. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 26, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com. It currently resolves to the IP address 104.21.34.189 and presents a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. Despite its active status and recent registration, the domain has not yet been flagged by security vendors, with a VirusTotal detection score of 0/95. No blocklist entries or public threat intelligence reports were identified at the time of this assessment, suggesting the campaign may still be in its early or reconnaissance phase. Users who have visited cryptnewchronicle.com or entered credentials on any associated pages should immediately revoke access to any linked cryptocurrency wallets or exchange accounts. Monitor all connected accounts for unauthorized transactions, particularly those involving blockchain addresses not previously authorized. Reset passwords and enable multi-factor authentication where available. If private keys or seed phrases were exposed, transfer remaining funds to a new, secure wallet immediately. Report the incident to relevant financial platforms and consider filing a report with local cybercrime authorities. Network administrators should block the domain and its resolving IP at the perimeter to prevent further access. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260626-3BEA87 TLS cert SHA-256: 7b2af0aa456303fb797c6bb9a378a65497f10103d6531bff8d2dc8e9bf9d508e ## 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/cryptnewchronicle.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cryptnewchronicle.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.
