PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:24:00 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-06 07:40:17 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 08:39:37 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b9d67-9444-778a-8620-354a2146881c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/echallengem.pro crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.echallengem.pro Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=echallengem.pro AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/echallengem.pro URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/echallengem.pro/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:46:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies echallengem.pro as an active phishing threat masquerading as a global eSports and gaming community. This campaign is designed to deceive users into divulging sensitive information, posing a significant risk to those involved in online gaming and eSports platforms. The high risk level is underscored by its continued activity and targeting approach. The domain echallengem.pro was registered on February 21, 2026, and currently resolves to the IP address 144.31.14.155. It has been flagged by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on two separate security blocklists. Additionally, it is referenced in 13 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, indicating ongoing monitoring by multiple security communities. Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting echallengem.pro or entering any personal or login information on the site. If you have already interacted with this domain, promptly update your credentials and monitor for signs of identity theft or account compromise. Utilize updated security software and consult trusted sources before engaging with unfamiliar gaming communities online. ## 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/echallengem.pro/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=echallengem.pro 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.
