Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is ex-faucet.xyz a Phish? This domain, ex-faucet.xyz, is suspected to be involved in high-risk phishing activities. Registered through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown on October 14, 2025, the domain currently resolves to the IP address 162.244.92.2. As of the report date, July 20, 2026, the domain remains active and is flagged by 13 out of 95 security vendors, including notable platforms like PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. The use of private nameservers (ns1.private-nameserver.net, ns2.private-nameserver.net, ns3.private-nameserver.net) further raises concerns about the domain's legitimacy and the potential for obfuscation of its true ownership. While the exact content of the website has not been analyzed, the high number of security vendor detections and the presence on multiple blocklists indicate a significant risk of phishing. Defenders should take immediate action to block this domain and monitor for any related activity. Users should be advised to avoid this site to prevent potential credential theft or other malicious activities. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260720-3C7DBF Favicon MD5: b9bb3ab51ec22a0ea89e27e037e55ac2 TLS cert SHA-256: d789725aca5b0195199739d355abc3246095c7a3aaeab0bec81b39aa98098708 ## 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/ex-faucet.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ex-faucet.xyz 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.
