# PhishDestroy threat dossier — elon2025chaingiveaway.online ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 08:53:39 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/elon2025chaingiveaway.online/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 57/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: crypto_doubler ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 163.61.188.222 (US, New York City) ASN: ASAS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE Hosting org: AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: dns1.lytehosting.com, dns2.lytehosting.com, dns3.lytehosting.com, dns4.lytehosting.com, ns1.163-61-188-222.cprapid.com, ns2.163-61-188-222.cprapid.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Elon Musk | Crypto Giveaway HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-25 01:27:33 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-01 11:34:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bf194-be37-7229-a648-b9d5a0537086/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/561894cd-d452-4166-b72d-83ec0ea3b32b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/elon2025chaingiveaway.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.elon2025chaingiveaway.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=elon2025chaingiveaway.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/elon2025chaingiveaway.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/elon2025chaingiveaway.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 03:36:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies elon2025chaingiveaway.online as a low-risk crypto drainer domain that was recently taken offline. This site was designed to lure users with a false promise of a cryptocurrency giveaway purportedly endorsed by Elon Musk, a commonly impersonated figure in online scams. Although the domain is no longer active, visiting or engaging with such sites can lead to unauthorized access to victims’ crypto wallets. This phishing scheme typically tricks users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets or providing private keys by advertising fake giveaways. The site’s page titled "Elon Musk | Crypto Giveaway" aimed to build legitimacy. Once users interacted, malicious scripts or social engineering attempts attempted to drain digital assets from their accounts. The domain was flagged by some security vendors and listed on a blocklist, indicating its malicious intent. Users are advised to avoid clicking on unsolicited crypto giveaway links and never share private keys or wallet passwords. Always verify giveaways through official sources and use trusted wallet applications. If you suspect exposure to such schemes, immediately disconnect your wallet and change any related credentials. Staying vigilant against deceptive crypto sites is essential to safeguarding digital assets. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260125-2EED8D ## 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/elon2025chaingiveaway.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=elon2025chaingiveaway.online 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.
