# PhishDestroy threat dossier — crypto404.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-03 20:10:26 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/crypto404.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- ACTIVE + CLOAKED — returns HTTP 666 to scanners, real fraudulent site to victims Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Cloaking: DETECTED — domain returns custom HTTP 666 to scanners while serving fraudulent content to real users (type: content_split) (score: 1/6) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Webroot ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 216.150.1.1 (US, Walnut) ASN: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: Vercel, Inc Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: ["dave.ns.cloudflare.com", "rosa.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-27 Page title: Crypto404 - Blockchain Address Security Scanner HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 0b0aea5f77ca0c1b7d7923bb3530156dcf2883acaae438bff7038fcc8febb767 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-27 05:34:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-27 02:35:11 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-03 20:42:36 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners 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/019dccc8-7ccf-70e7-bbf8-bf494579cc5b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5c571025-432d-4ea4-b7de-1e7ff2d9c17b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/crypto404.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.crypto404.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=crypto404.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/crypto404.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/crypto404.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-27 05:36:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies crypto404.com as an active crypto drainer phishing domain under investigation. This domain mimics legitimate cryptocurrency platforms to trick users into connecting wallets and draining funds. Technical analysis confirms the presence of a crypto drainer kit deployed on this infrastructure. This domain resolves to IP 216.150.1.1, registered through Cloudflare, Inc., and was created on April 09, 2019. A Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate is in use. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 engines, indicating no immediate signature-based detection. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unflagged, and this domain has not been listed on major blocklists, raising the risk of delayed detection. This domain remains active with an under_investigation status, posing an ongoing threat to users. PhishDestroy recommends immediate blocking of crypto404.com and similar domains. Due to the lack of detections and absence from blocklists, users should verify all cryptocurrency-related links using PhishDestroy before engagement. Remaining risk is assessed as high given the domain’s age, unflagged status, and active infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260427-34BCF2 Favicon MD5: 239df7467b8215966e34e35c6f2f6681 TLS cert SHA-256: 0b0aea5f77ca0c1b7d7923bb3530156dcf2883acaae438bff7038fcc8febb767 ## 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/crypto404.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crypto404.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.
