# PhishDestroy threat dossier — encryptedchain.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-18 09:55:44 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/encryptedchain.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: across (and: scroll) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 66.29.137.56 (US, Phoenix) ASN: ASAS22612 NAMECHEAP-NET, US Hosting org: AS22612 Namecheap, Inc. Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Blockchain ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36 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: 2026-02-26 23:21:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-06 23:13:15 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 12:55:09 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01991091-4868-770d-b40b-9f4443929c4f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/encryptedchain.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.encryptedchain.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=encryptedchain.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/encryptedchain.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/encryptedchain.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:12:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies encryptedchain.live as an active phishing domain posing a medium risk to users. The site’s page title "Blockchain" likely aims to lure victims interested in cryptocurrency or blockchain technologies. This domain is involved in generic phishing activities designed to capture sensitive information by impersonating legitimate blockchain-related services. The domain encryptedchain.live was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 66.29.137.56. It currently appears on four separate security blocklists, indicating consistent reports of malicious activity. VirusTotal scans flag this domain by 9 out of 95 security vendors, confirming its association with phishing threats. The infrastructure is still operational, which means the threat remains present and users should exercise caution. As the domain remains active, users and organizations are advised to block encryptedchain.live at the network level and avoid clicking any links or providing credentials on this site. Security teams should update phishing filters and monitor for related phishing attempts. Immediate action can mitigate potential data compromise from this ongoing phishing campaign identified by PhishDestroy using the unique seed f9695c. ## 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/encryptedchain.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=encryptedchain.live 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.
