# PhishDestroy threat dossier — dark-matter-link.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 20:24:05 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dark-matter-link.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 78/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 45.147.197.100 (NL, Meppel) ASN: AS204601 NovoServe B.V. Hosting org: Podaon SIA Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/namesilo-killed-our-twitter https://phishdestroy.io/xmrwallet-namesilo-exposed Nameservers: ns1.zomro.net, ns2.zomro.ru, ns3.zomro.com, ns4.zomro.su Registered: 2025-09-08 Page title: Dark Matter Market Link 2026 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-08-14 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 3f1f89e4a5a6b0a3a4f81244a7148a5701232f05c942632fecc1d74b5758242c ## 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: 2025-09-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-20 10:50:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-20 07:50:53 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:18 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e445c-4ade-7072-9abf-75538cb59f68/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/0450fb15-6f5f-44de-807a-2715aba99373 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dark-matter-link.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dark-matter-link.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dark-matter-link.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dark-matter-link.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dark-matter-link.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 17:48:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk credential phishing site targeting users of underground marketplaces. Analysis indicates it presents itself as "Dark Matter Market Link 2026," a likely lure to harvest login credentials, payment details, or other sensitive information under false pretenses. The page title and infrastructure suggest an attempt to impersonate or redirect to a darknet market, a common tactic in phishing campaigns aimed at cybercriminal forums or illicit trade platforms. Evidence supporting this assessment includes detection by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, registration through NameSilo, LLC on September 08, 2025, and presence on 1 security blocklist. The domain resolves to IP address 45.147.197.100, hosted by Podaon SIA in the Netherlands. The SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt (R12), provides basic encryption but does not validate legitimacy. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was recently established and lacks historical reputation, increasing the likelihood of malicious intent. Users who have visited dark-matter-link.xyz should immediately cease all interaction and assume any entered credentials are compromised. Reset passwords for all accounts accessed from the same device or network session, particularly those linked to financial services or sensitive platforms. Monitor accounts for unauthorized activity and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Network administrators should block the domain and its resolving IP at the perimeter to prevent further exposure. If payment details were submitted, contact financial institutions to flag potential fraud and consider credit monitoring services. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260520-B61C48 TLS cert SHA-256: 3f1f89e4a5a6b0a3a4f81244a7148a5701232f05c942632fecc1d74b5758242c ## 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/dark-matter-link.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dark-matter-link.xyz 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.
