# PhishDestroy threat dossier — esl-claimnow.sbs ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-05 04:54:03 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/esl-claimnow.sbs/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Kaspersky, Netcraft, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 209.182.217.150 (US, New York) ASN: AS36007 Kamatera, Inc. Hosting org: Global Cloud Infrastructure LLC Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/namesilo-killed-our-twitter https://phishdestroy.io/xmrwallet-namesilo-exposed Nameservers: ns1.dnsowl.com, ns2.dnsowl.com, ns3.dnsowl.com Registered: 2026-07-02 Expires: 2027-07-02 Page title: ESL Federal Credit Union - Log in ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: esl-claimnow.sbs Expires: 2027-07-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c1821fa24c67bb6b51c04b6a9116ee367fbf123f01cafdf97936c1729c9fd731 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - autoconfig.esl-claimnow.sbs - autodiscover.esl-claimnow.sbs - cpanel.esl-claimnow.sbs - cpcalendars.esl-claimnow.sbs - cpcontacts.esl-claimnow.sbs - mail.esl-claimnow.sbs - webdisk.esl-claimnow.sbs - webmail.esl-claimnow.sbs - www.esl-claimnow.sbs ## 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: 2026-07-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-03 14:28:26 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-05 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-04 00:02:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f27f2-b97e-77af-9446-4cd1b2c88d01/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/esl-claimnow.sbs crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.esl-claimnow.sbs Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=esl-claimnow.sbs AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/esl-claimnow.sbs URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/esl-claimnow.sbs/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-03 14:46:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, esl-claimnow.sbs, operates as a crypto drainer targeting users of ESL Federal Credit Union. The site presents a fraudulent login interface mimicking the legitimate financial institution, designed to harvest credentials and initiate unauthorized cryptocurrency transactions from victims' wallets. Analysis indicates the domain is engineered to exploit trust in the ESL brand, leveraging social engineering to deceive users into entering sensitive information or approving malicious blockchain transactions. The presence of a crypto drainer mechanism suggests a focus on financial theft, with potential for immediate and irreversible asset loss upon interaction. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 02, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, an uncommon registrar choice for legitimate financial services. It resolves to the IP address 209.182.217.150, which has no prior association with ESL Federal Credit Union's official infrastructure. VirusTotal reports 5 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, a detection rate consistent with active but evasive phishing campaigns. The SSL certificate is issued directly to esl-claimnow.sbs, lacking the organizational validation expected for a legitimate financial entity. No legitimate blocklist entries or threat intelligence reports link this infrastructure to ESL's official operations, further confirming its fraudulent nature. Users who have visited esl-claimnow.sbs or entered credentials on the site should immediately revoke any active sessions linked to ESL Federal Credit Union and reset their account passwords using a secure device. If cryptocurrency transactions were initiated or approved, victims should contact their wallet provider to report unauthorized activity and attempt to freeze affected assets. All interactions with the domain should be documented, including timestamps and transaction hashes, for potential law enforcement reporting. Browser data, including cookies and cached files, should be cleared to eliminate residual session tokens. Financial institutions should be notified to monitor accounts for suspicious activity, and affected parties are advised to enable multi-factor authentication on all critical accounts to mitigate further risk. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3cc5785be1e5c9462f29dfdb389acf10 TLS cert SHA-256: c1821fa24c67bb6b51c04b6a9116ee367fbf123f01cafdf97936c1729c9fd731 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/esl-claimnow.sbs/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=esl-claimnow.sbs 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
