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: 2025-04-05 (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) First reported: 2025-08-07 17:49:15 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-25 07:40:48 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-24 13:41:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198864b-5a75-700a-a03c-c4aac2234029/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/elonmuskteslainvestmentcompany.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.elonmuskteslainvestmentcompany.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=elonmuskteslainvestmentcompany.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/elonmuskteslainvestmentcompany.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/elonmuskteslainvestmentcompany.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:41:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies elonmuskteslainvestmentcompany.com as a low-risk phishing domain that was taken offline. Although only one security vendor flagged it, the domain has a very low trust score of 1/100 and appears on a security blocklist, indicating potential danger. This phishing scheme likely aimed to lure victims with fake investment opportunities related to Elon Musk and Tesla, attempting to steal personal or financial information. The domain was newly created and resolved to an IP address, suggesting it was set up for fraudulent purposes before being disabled. If you visited this site, avoid providing any sensitive data and run a security scan on your device. Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and consider updating your passwords. Staying cautious helps prevent falling victim to similar scams in the future. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: c5fa672acdcda3d6c2e68732b2c1fca6bd39784fdf061c9462558717427b18d4 ## 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/elonmuskteslainvestmentcompany.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=elonmuskteslainvestmentcompany.com 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.
