# PhishDestroy threat dossier — cryptosweb3networks.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-02 08:52:56 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/cryptosweb3networks.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: seed_phish, wallet_connect_phish Targeted brand: coinbase (and: metamask, scroll) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 208.98.35.106 (US, Los Angeles) ASN: ASAS46844 SHARKTECH, US Hosting org: AS46844 Sharktech Registrar: Cosmotown, Inc. Nameservers: ns1.site4now.net, ns2.site4now.net, ns3.site4now.net Registered: 2025-05-18 Expires: 2026-05-18 Page title: Home - cryptosweb3networks - A crypto buy and sell marketplace HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2025-05-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-08-10 13:57:45 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-02 09:36:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019894ea-70fd-744a-b3e9-5fd4c415b754/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cryptosweb3networks.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cryptosweb3networks.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cryptosweb3networks.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cryptosweb3networks.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cryptosweb3networks.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 02:17:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies cryptosweb3networks.com as a medium-risk generic phishing domain targeting cryptocurrency users. Despite its recent creation, the site posed a credible threat due to its impersonation of a crypto buy and sell marketplace. The domain was registered on May 18, 2025, through Cosmotown, Inc. and resolved to IP 208.98.35.106. It appeared on four security blocklists and was flagged by three security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating suspicious activity consistent with phishing campaigns. The site’s page title and branding attempted to lure victims into fraudulent transactions. Currently, cryptosweb3networks.com is offline, reducing immediate risk. Users are advised to remain vigilant, avoid unsolicited crypto marketplace links, and verify URLs before engaging. Organizations should update blocklists and monitor for similar domain patterns to prevent exposure to future phishing attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 3cfe0bd2a4fee7847e0114f98b1a3447b1ca278bf901edb3cdd4b7ddcf40c500 ## 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/cryptosweb3networks.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cryptosweb3networks.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.
