# PhishDestroy threat dossier — darknetmarketexpert.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-23 17:14:43 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/darknetmarketexpert.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 78/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.130.54 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2021-12-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-22 17:28:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-23 16:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-23 00:01:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eeff2-0a0a-7762-8a02-a7e5130e63aa/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/darknetmarketexpert.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.darknetmarketexpert.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=darknetmarketexpert.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/darknetmarketexpert.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/darknetmarketexpert.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 22:58:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Darknetmarketexpert.com presents itself as a portal to darknet drug markets. Despite being active, it currently has 0 detections on VirusTotal, highlighting its freshness in the threat landscape. This domain exploits the typical 24-72 hour gap between registration and AV database updates, allowing it to operate under the radar. PhishDestroy's early detection pipeline identifies such threats before they propagate to antivirus feeds. Registered through NameSilo, LLC, and hosted on an IP managed by Cloudflare, Inc. in the US, the domain uses SSL certification from Google Trust Services. Its page title, 'Darknet Drug Markets | Dark Web Drug Markets,' suggests it targets individuals seeking illegal substances, potentially leading to scams or further malicious activities. The domain was created on December 28, 2021, but PhishDestroy first detected it on June 22, 2026. It is currently listed on one public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's. This indicates that while the domain is not yet widely recognized as malicious, it poses a significant threat due to its deceptive nature and potential for exploitation in illicit activities. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 8e414f72f5b44b4905c9dc55cd3942b5 TLS cert SHA-256: 0e13f941842135c52120c3ab31072304c00a0c3dda2336e0c23c5a936db2784e ## 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/darknetmarketexpert.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=darknetmarketexpert.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.
