# PhishDestroy threat dossier — darkmatteronion.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-24 16:23:10 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/darkmatteronion.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 85/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: DYNADOT LLC Nameservers: harmony.ns.cloudflare.com, logan.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-09-17 Page title: DarkMatter Market: Official Darknet Onion Access Platform HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-07-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: a76d28aeaf1d19e0146b1a78323be8e2958b0779497867f3ab379089af7e877b ## 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: 2025-09-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-20 10:12:04 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-20 07:12:58 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-24 18:18:24 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:24 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e4439-69b3-72c1-9e84-3f0b456c3343/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/ee3a90f7-816c-4b69-8659-631ae8897876 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/darkmatteronion.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.darkmatteronion.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=darkmatteronion.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/darkmatteronion.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/darkmatteronion.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:54:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies DarkMatterOnion.net as a high-risk domain due to its generic phishing threat type, which can lead to significant financial losses and sensitive information theft. This domain was flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and it is registered through DYNADOT LLC, resolving to the IP address 188.114.96.3, with a creation date of September 17, 2025, and an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, while also appearing on 1 security blocklist. To mitigate the risks associated with this generic phishing threat, users should exercise extreme caution when interacting with DarkMatterOnion.net, avoiding any attempts to enter sensitive information or download software, and instead, rely on trusted and verified sources for their online activities, ensuring the protection of their personal data and financial assets. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260520-1F9236 Favicon MD5: 5c25dc4385fe5963f245c0f0dc98b4ca TLS cert SHA-256: a76d28aeaf1d19e0146b1a78323be8e2958b0779497867f3ab379089af7e877b ## 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/darkmatteronion.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=darkmatteronion.net 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.
