# PhishDestroy threat dossier — cryptopassive.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 09:55:55 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/cryptopassive.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 72/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange Targeted brand: Investment Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/94 security vendors flagged this domain ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 88.222.222.87 (LT, Vilnius) ASN: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Hosting org: Hostinger International Ltd. Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: ns1.dns-parking.com, ns2.dns-parking.com Registered: 2026-04-17 Page title: Advanced Arbitrage Trading Pool - Open Source Flash Loan Arbitrage Platform ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-26 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 0f40a9536627ae19ad73e9b389485ed5604efbde3eed6425224a25316b11deca Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.cryptopassive.net ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-18 00:30:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-17 21:32:03 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-22 07:40:15 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 02:23:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019d9d59-3c69-75dd-b741-a3d1a5402a10/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/abbe1e48-2d39-4640-8421-2267a779b211 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cryptopassive.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cryptopassive.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cryptopassive.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cryptopassive.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cryptopassive.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-18 00:30:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies cryptopassive.net as an active cryptocurrency wallet drainer phishing domain under investigation for generic phishing tactics targeting digital asset holders. The site masquerades as a passive income platform for crypto investors, leveraging urgency and financial incentives to trick users into connecting wallets and authorizing malicious transactions. While no specific drainer kit has been publicly disclosed, the domain's structure suggests a coordinated effort to harvest private keys or seed phrases under the guise of 'passive yield generation.' This domain was flagged with a VirusTotal detection score of 0/95, indicating no current antivirus or security vendor has flagged its payloads. It was registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB on November 28, 2025, resolving to IP address 88.222.222.87. The SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt may lend false legitimacy, though issuance timelines correlate closely with domain creation — a common tactic among short-lived phishing infrastructures. As of now, this domain remains unlisted on Google Safe Browsing (GSB) and has not appeared on major blocklists, leaving users vulnerable to first-wave exploitation. At present, cryptopassive.net remains active with a 'under_investigation' status, suggesting ongoing scrutiny by threat intelligence teams. No public takedown actions have been confirmed, and the absence of detections implies a low-profile operation likely targeting niche cryptocurrency communities. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain, verify sender identities in any related communications, and use hardware wallets or transaction simulation tools before approving any crypto transfers. Remaining risk remains HIGH due to delayed detection cycles and the domain's recent activation just months ahead of wide-scale exploitation windows. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260417-8ADB78 Favicon MD5: 40768d0eddefee4d35a02a35536addfc TLS cert SHA-256: 0f40a9536627ae19ad73e9b389485ed5604efbde3eed6425224a25316b11deca ## 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/cryptopassive.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cryptopassive.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
