Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk generic phishing threat targeting users of darknet marketplaces. Analysis indicates the site is actively impersonating legitimate darknet trading platforms under the guise of "DarkMatter Market | Official Links & Secure Market Guide," a common tactic to deceive users seeking underground market access. The domain presents a significant risk due to its specific targeting of cryptocurrency and illicit trade communities, where users may be more susceptible to credential theft or financial fraud. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 19, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It currently resolves to IP address 104.21.69.64, which is hosted on a content delivery network known for anonymizing malicious infrastructure. VirusTotal detection shows only 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, suggesting either early-stage deployment or evasion techniques to avoid widespread detection. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy while obscuring the site's true intent. No blocklist entries or trust scores from major threat intelligence platforms were identified at the time of analysis, further indicating its potential to bypass initial security filters. Mitigation steps for this threat type include immediate blocking of the domain and its associated IP address (104.21.69.64) at the network perimeter. Organizations should deploy indicators of compromise (IOCs) to endpoint detection systems to prevent user access. Users should be educated on recognizing phishing tactics specific to darknet marketplaces, such as verifying official links through trusted sources and avoiding sites that solicit credentials or cryptocurrency deposits. Security teams should monitor for unusual login attempts or financial transactions originating from interactions with this domain, as compromised credentials may be leveraged for follow-on attacks. Given the domain's recent creation and low detection rate, proactive hunting for related infrastructure or similar naming patterns is recommended to identify potential campaign expansion. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 34314f6d90be5425c96a294b11b02d69 TLS cert SHA-256: fbf7e32e3331d9010bbefbe3739e376ef9914842b440b21b3d6675cd08eaa4dd ## 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/darkmattermarketdarknet.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=darkmattermarketdarknet.com 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.
