Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] darkmatter-hub.cyou — Phishing Investigation Report As of July 28, 2026, the domain darkmatter-hub.cyou is under active investigation for potential phishing activity. The domain was registered on July 25, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to the IP address 172.67.204.206. This domain is currently listed on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, indicating a level of suspicion among security professionals. However, the domain has been scanned by 91 vendors on VirusTotal, and none have flagged it as malicious, which does not conclusively prove its safety. The nameservers for the domain are adel.ns.cloudflare.com and javon.ns.cloudflare.com, suggesting that Cloudflare is the DNS provider. Given the domain's recent creation and its presence on a security blocklist, further analysis is warranted to determine the exact nature of the threat. Defenders are advised to monitor the domain closely and implement additional security measures, such as enhanced monitoring and user education, to mitigate potential risks. The exact content of the website has not yet been analyzed, and no specific brand or scam type has been identified. Security teams should also consider blocking the domain to prevent potential phishing attacks within their networks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260728-75580F Favicon MD5: 590778db976e371b12f512d4ca0baaba TLS cert SHA-256: bd188c3b305beb4a1b72313188423a1ee9411130de1a20f2ed9ffa225b766915 ## 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/darkmatter-hub.cyou/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=darkmatter-hub.cyou 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.
