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: 2026-07-27 10:11:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-30 20:38:24 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019fa2a9-a1ce-725b-b187-278f82dc9a65/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cryptoyield.biz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cryptoyield.biz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cryptoyield.biz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cryptoyield.biz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cryptoyield.biz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 10:11:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] cryptoyield.biz Alert — Generic Phishing Observed Analysis of cryptoyield.biz, registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on 24 April 2026, shows that the domain is currently active and resolves to the IPv4 address 76.76.21.21. The authoritative name servers are ns75.domaincontrol.com and ns76.domaincontrol.com, both belonging to GoDaddy's DNS infrastructure. The domain has been added to at least one external blocklist and is actively flagged by the PhishDestroy filtering service as a generic phishing source. A VirusTotal scan performed on the domain was submitted to 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation engines; none of the engines returned a positive classification, but the absence of detections does not constitute proof of legitimacy. No public Safe Browsing, Open Threat Exchange, SSL certificate, HTTP response code, or trust‑score data are available for this host, and the page title or content has not been captured in the current intelligence set. The combination of a recent registration date, use of a well‑known registrar, and immediate inclusion on a phishing blocklist suggests an opportunistic campaign that leverages the perceived credibility of the GoDaddy name‑server pair. The lack of a detected payload or malicious signature on VirusTotal indicates that the malicious activity may be limited to credential harvesting via a web page that has not yet been analyzed by the scanning engines. Defenders should continue to block traffic to 76.76.21.21 and add cryptoyield.biz to internal deny lists. Continuous monitoring of the domain’s DNS records, SSL certificate issuance, and any future VirusTotal or community submissions is recommended. Where possible, security tools should be configured to query PhishDestroy and other phishing‑specific blocklists for real‑time updates. Network traffic to the domain should be logged and inspected for suspicious HTTP requests that could indicate credential submission. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: fa77b6d34d7fe436ee7e355ee096883b TLS cert SHA-256: 59cfaf46183d2f4a8b251819dbf24b2b08dd15c065529b1536ba5a3a63bd0c5f ## 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 (operator 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/cryptoyield.biz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cryptoyield.biz 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
