# PhishDestroy threat dossier — crystaldiskmark.pro ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 05:14:57 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/crystaldiskmark.pro/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 20/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, ESTsecurity, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Viettel Threat Intelligence, VIPRE, Webroot URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.139.169 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Spaceship, Inc. Nameservers: braden.ns.cloudflare.com, savanna.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-03-06 Expires: 2027-03-06 Page title: CrystalDiskMark – Free Disk Benchmark for Windows | SSD, HDD, NVMe ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 345d65cdbb71e91fff1dac6b891eef7ca8b89e2b8b7eaa9130408fca7819d510 ## 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: 2026-03-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-02 14:52:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-02 12:56:17 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 06:46:55 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-03 06:17:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f22e2-150d-77e9-b480-696f212e73cc/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/06c56370-16e7-46db-a7ce-ca5e19265ab6 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/crystaldiskmark.pro crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.crystaldiskmark.pro Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=crystaldiskmark.pro AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/crystaldiskmark.pro URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/crystaldiskmark.pro/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-02 14:57:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, crystaldiskmark.pro, is under investigation for brand impersonation targeting users of the legitimate disk benchmark utility CrystalDiskMark. Analysis indicates the site is designed to harvest credentials or distribute malicious payloads under the guise of a trusted software tool. The domain remains active as of the latest verification. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on March 06, 2026, through Spaceship, Inc., and currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.139.169. It appears on one security blocklist, while VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 vendors, suggesting low initial visibility. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites. The page title mimics the official CrystalDiskMark site, reading 'CrystalDiskMark – Free Disk Benchmark for Windows | SSD, HDD, NVMe,' further supporting the impersonation hypothesis. Current risk assessment places this domain in an active but unconfirmed state, with limited external validation. Users are advised to block the domain at the network level and monitor for connections to 172.67.139.169. System administrators should verify any downloads from this domain against known hashes of the legitimate CrystalDiskMark software. End users should be alerted to the impersonation attempt, particularly those in IT or benchmarking roles. Further analysis is required to determine the exact payload or credential harvesting mechanism employed. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260702-2D0D85 Favicon MD5: b9c33c9025d37545e9991ee1cb358b9a TLS cert SHA-256: 345d65cdbb71e91fff1dac6b891eef7ca8b89e2b8b7eaa9130408fca7819d510 ## 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.pro/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crystaldiskmark.pro 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.
