Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies darkred-hippopotamus-178224.hostingersite.com as a suspicious website currently under investigation for hosting generic phishing activity. The domain employs a crypto drainer kit, a malicious tool designed to siphon cryptocurrency from unsuspecting victims by intercepting wallet transactions and replacing them with fraudulent ones. No specific brand impersonation or well-known drainer framework has been confirmed yet, but the operational tactics align with common crypto-draining schemes targeting decentralized finance (DeFi) users and cryptocurrency traders. The domain's naming convention—using randomized adjectives and nouns—is a known evasion tactic to avoid immediate blacklisting while mimicking legitimate hosting services. Technical indicators for this domain reveal several red flags. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 scanning engines, indicating it has not yet been widely flagged by security vendors, though this is not uncommon for newly activated threats. The domain resolves to IP address 2.57.91.73, which is operated by HOSTINGER operations, UAB, a legitimate hosting provider that may unknowingly host malicious content due to compromised or fraudulent account usage. The domain was registered on June 22, 2023, making it nearly a year old, which provides sufficient time for threat actors to refine their operations. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet flagged the domain, and no public blocklist entries were detected during the initial assessment. The presence of a DigiCert SSL certificate adds a false sense of legitimacy, as threat actors often leverage trusted certificate authorities to appear more credible to potential victims. This domain remains active and is currently under investigation by PhishDestroy’s threat intelligence team. No official blocklisting or takedown actions have been initiated yet, but proactive monitoring is ongoing. While the immediate risk level is classified as 'under_investigation,' the combination of a crypto drainer kit, unflagged status, and hosting on a reputable provider suggests potential for escalation. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain, verify any unsolicited cryptocurrency-related links, and use security tools such as wallet defenses or transaction simulations to detect drainer scripts. Remaining risk is moderate due to the domain’s age and undetected status, warranting heightened caution among cryptocurrency users. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 5c25dc4385fe5963f245c0f0dc98b4ca TLS cert SHA-256: 6eb5731143f1ae810e04a839d4c027616c540e5e580d78aae36b6f1b986f3728 ## 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/darkred-hippopotamus-178224.hostingersite.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=darkred-hippopotamus-178224.hostingersite.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.
