Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is darkmatter-market.cyou Safe? This domain, darkmatter-market.cyou, is under investigation as a generic phishing threat as of July 28, 2026. It was created on July 25, 2026, and remains active. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar sometimes associated with high-risk or disposable domains. Its nameservers are adel.ns.cloudflare.com and javon.ns.cloudflare.com, and it resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is part of Cloudflare's hosting infrastructure. VirusTotal scans from 91 vendors show zero detections, though an absence of detections does not confirm the domain is safe; it may simply indicate the threat is recent or not widely recognized. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is specifically blocked by PhishDestroy, a community-driven blocklist, lending credibility to the phishing classification. No additional page content, brand target, or scam type has been analyzed, so the exact nature of the phishing lure remains unknown. The domain's creation less than a week before the report date, combined with its appearance on a blocklist, suggests it may be used for credential harvesting or other deceptive campaigns. Defenders should treat this domain as suspicious, monitor for any associated email traffic or login page captures, and block it at the network or email gateway level pending further investigation. Users who encounter this domain should avoid interacting with it and report it to relevant security teams. Continued monitoring for changes in DNS records, SSL certificate issuance, or new blocklist entries is recommended to assess evolving risk. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260728-141363 Favicon MD5: 590778db976e371b12f512d4ca0baaba TLS cert SHA-256: 86440256929fd1fa02ee141f5657886409ff32a09067c97038f100a0358efd3f ## 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-market.cyou/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=darkmatter-market.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.
