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: 2026-04-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 15:04:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f3786-f995-7629-820c-d2be264d1ceb/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dreadpirate.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dreadpirate.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dreadpirate.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dreadpirate.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dreadpirate.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 15:44:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] dreadpirate.cc is classified as high risk due to its involvement in crypto drainer operations. The site presents itself as a "private BTC mixer," which is a common lure for users seeking to anonymize cryptocurrency transactions. Analysis identifies this infrastructure as actively facilitating crypto drainer activity, posing a significant threat to users' digital assets. Technical investigation reveals several concerning indicators. The domain was registered on April 18, 2026, through NAMECHEAP INC, a registrar known to be abused in illicit registrations. The DNS currently resolves to IP address 138.124.125.47. Public reputation scans show VirusTotal flags this domain 2 out of 95 times, signifying the detection of malicious or fraudulent behavior by multiple security vendors. The website leverages a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common pattern among crypto drainers seeking to add legitimacy. The site title in Russian, "Dread Pirate — приватный BTC-миксер," suggests targeting of Russian-speaking users and the promotion of privacy-themed cryptocurrency services to obfuscate malicious intent. As of this report, the domain remains active and unmitigated. To mitigate risks associated with crypto drainer threats, it is strongly advised to block dreadpirate.cc on network and endpoint security appliances. Users should avoid interacting with cryptocurrency mixers or wallets promoted by this site, and security teams should monitor for connections to IP 138.124.125.47. Forensic reviews of wallet transactions and threat hunting for related phishing infrastructure are recommended. Organizations should educate users about the risks of engaging with unknown cryptocurrency services, especially those flagged by multiple security vendors. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 2387ad62a6395b6807fc9daa68332e40 TLS cert SHA-256: f5a3a796d763be3b7aa405f564f344c8d93d6faefc7d77cc908cdceb9e11a489 ## 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 (operator 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/dreadpirate.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dreadpirate.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
