elitemining.us Safety Check — Cryptocurrency Phishing Detected

Analysis of elitemining.us indicates a domain registered on April 29, 2026, through NAMECHEAP INC, currently active and resolving to IP address 51.222.41.109. The domain appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, which suggests potential malicious intent. Infrastructure review reveals the use of nameservers ns1.futureitlimited.org, ns2.futureitlimited.org, zns1.nekoserver.asia, and zns2.nekoserver.asia, providers that have been previously associated with suspicious or high-risk domains.

While VirusTotal scans by 91 vendors show no current detections, this absence does not confirm safety, as phishing domains often evade initial detection through rapid rotation or obfuscation techniques. The domain's classification as a generic phishing threat, combined with its cryptocurrency-related naming, suggests it may target users of digital asset platforms, though no specific brand impersonation or page content has been confirmed at this time. Defenders are advised to monitor network traffic for connections to 51.222.41.109 and the listed nameservers, as these may serve as indicators of compromise.

Given the domain's presence on a security blocklist and its recent registration, organizations should consider preemptive blocking or heightened scrutiny of related communications. Further investigation into associated infrastructure, such as hosting provider and autonomous system details, is recommended to assess the full scope of potential threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260727-F1399E
Favicon MD5:       9ed3fb7d74ca62e482da6fc1bfa8e4b5
TLS cert SHA-256:      ebe85a22a21446e11cb70d8b8c47ea2aacb48e507150fa1762f9490a5dd18e32

## 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.
