Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the active phishing domain darkmatter-mirror-onion.cc as a **fake DarkMatter mirror** designed to deceive users into divulging sensitive credentials. This domain is currently operational and classified under the specific threat type of generic phishing, with an elevated risk level determined by its malicious intent and user-facing deception tactics. This domain was flagged by 5 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating early-stage detection but not yet comprehensive blocklisting. It is registered through Dynadot Inc, resolves to IP 104.21.17.159, and was created on September 17, 2025—suggesting a recently established threat actor infrastructure leveraging newly registered domains for evasion. The domain possesses a legitimate SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may enhance its credibility in phishing attempts by presenting a false sense of security through HTTPS encryption. Given its active status and evasion techniques—including the use of a trusted certificate and fresh registration—users and organizations are strongly advised to avoid accessing darkmatter-mirror-onion.cc and to implement network-level blocking via DNS or firewall rules targeting its IP and domain. Security teams should monitor for related domains and update threat intelligence feeds accordingly. If suspicious activity involving credentials or data exposure occurs, immediate password resets and incident response procedures should be initiated. PhishDestroy recommends conducting a full investigation using the unique seed identifier 7521e9 for correlated threat analysis. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260509-EFCFD4 ## 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/darkmatter-mirror-onion.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=darkmatter-mirror-onion.cc 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.
