Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, crystaldiskmark.dev, poses a generic phishing threat by impersonating the legitimate CrystalDiskMark software website. The domain is designed to deceive users into downloading malicious software disguised as the legitimate disk benchmarking tool, potentially leading to credential theft or system compromise. The threat is classified as under investigation, but the domain remains active and accessible. Evidence supporting this assessment includes the following exact indicators: VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 antivirus engines, meaning the domain is not flagged by any security vendor yet. The domain was registered on March 06, 2026, through registrar Spaceship, Inc. It currently appears on 1 security blocklist, specifically Maltrail. The domain resolves to IP address 172.67.153.206 and uses an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt. Users who have visited crystaldiskmark.dev should immediately run a full antivirus scan on their system using updated security software. They should change passwords for any accounts accessed from that device and monitor financial accounts for unusual activity. Avoid interacting with any files downloaded from this domain and report the incident to the appropriate IT security team if in a corporate environment. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260702-DC2278 Favicon MD5: b9c33c9025d37545e9991ee1cb358b9a TLS cert SHA-256: 95e3e6d06978a1d169c9510fdf373a93eace13656fea31cde4adc86ad47b27a3 ## 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.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crystaldiskmark.dev 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.
