Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: ["alex.ns.cloudflare.com", "eva.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-07 Expires: 2027-06-07 Page title: Just a moment... HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-05 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ff2072488569627fab5e0f9b0b822ec6029a8ab4bd09727ef6260050a9f47e2c ## 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: 2026-06-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-08 01:37:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-07 22:50:04 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 00:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-10 06:51:25 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 01:57:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, epoch-avax.com, poses a significant threat by impersonating the Avalanche brand. The risk associated with this domain is elevated due to its active status and involvement in brand impersonation schemes. Such sites are often designed to deceive users into providing sensitive information by mimicking legitimate services. In this case, the domain aims to exploit the trust users have in the Avalanche brand, potentially leading to phishing attacks or other forms of fraud. Technical analysis reveals that epoch-avax.com was created on June 07, 2026, and is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. It has been flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a moderate level of detection within the security community. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and is found in 4 threat intelligence pulses, highlighting its recognition as a malicious entity. Additionally, it is blocked by several security services, further confirming its potential threat. The use of technologies like HSTS and Cloudflare suggests attempts to appear secure and legitimate. If you have visited epoch-avax.com, it is crucial to take immediate action to protect your information.

Remaining vigilant and informed can mitigate risks associated with sites like epoch-avax.com. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 482fa099c5eaeabb366a118a8e4ce315 TLS cert SHA-256: ff2072488569627fab5e0f9b0b822ec6029a8ab4bd09727ef6260050a9f47e2c ## 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/epoch-avax.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=epoch-avax.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.
