No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-18 23:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 04:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-18 23:26:42 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:56:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies dustcoins.lat as a generic_phishing domain, specifically a crypto drainer, which does not seem to impersonate a well-known brand and does not appear to utilize a particular drainer kit, its primary threat lies in deceiving users into divulging sensitive information or losing cryptocurrency. This domain was flagged due to several technical indicators, including a VirusTotal score of 5/95, indicating that only a small fraction of security vendors have flagged it as malicious, it was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, resolves to the IP address 172.67.162.145, and was created on May 18, 2026, furthermore, it appears on 3 security blocklists and has an active status with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, specifically E8. The current status of dustcoins.lat remains active, posing a high risk to users, despite being identified by a single threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, the fact that it is still operational means users should exercise extreme caution, response actions should include avoiding any interaction with the domain, and users are advised to verify the legitimacy of websites on PhishDestroy before engaging with them, as the remaining risk associated with dustcoins.lat is substantial due to its potential to cause financial loss through cryptocurrency draining. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 7ac575b6790c86891d6a971271b54ab9 TLS cert SHA-256: 6adf29daeb67769d295cdea55452eae3159884efa6ed0605d20c02cbca07b75f ## 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/dustcoins.lat/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dustcoins.lat 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.
