Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, crystaldiskmark.app, poses a specific threat as a generic phishing site designed to impersonate the legitimate CrystalDiskMark disk benchmarking utility. By replicating the official page title 'CrystalDiskMark | Free Disk Benchmark for Windows,' the site aims to deceive users into downloading malicious software or providing sensitive information under the guise of a trusted tool. The domain is currently active and resolving to IP 188.114.96.3, indicating ongoing operation and potential harm to visitors who mistake it for the genuine software. Technical indicators confirm the threat: VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 security vendors, meaning no antivirus engines have flagged the domain yet, which may allow it to bypass initial automated defenses. The domain was registered on March 06, 2026, through Spaceship, Inc., a registrar that does not inherently indicate malicious intent but is noted for completeness. No blocklist data is available in the provided intelligence, but the recent creation date and lack of detection suggest the site is new and may be actively evading security scanners. The IP address 188.114.96.3 is associated with Cloudflare, which can obscure the true hosting origin and complicate takedown efforts. Users who have visited crystaldiskmark.app should immediately disconnect from the network and run a full antivirus scan using updated definitions. If any files were downloaded or credentials entered, change passwords for all accounts, especially those related to financial services or email, using a different, secure device. Monitor accounts for unauthorized activity and consider enabling two-factor authentication where available. Report the domain to local cybersecurity authorities or the registrar for further investigation. Avoid interacting with the site again and warn others about its fraudulent nature. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260702-C8E7F9 TLS cert SHA-256: bd1770244ff1f25741e478b8fb3b964da5c5b030602cf1bef06d408d2444e14d ## 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/crystaldiskmark.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crystaldiskmark.app 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.
