Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is exponentialstock.com a Phishing Site? The domain exponentialstock.com was registered on 27 Oct 2025 through the registrar TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown. Current DNS records show four authoritative name servers: ns111.asurahosting.com, ns111.my-control-panel.com, ns112.asurahosting.com, and ns112.m. All resolve to the IPv4 address 198.251.89.229, which is the sole hosting endpoint observed for the domain. The domain is listed as active in the internal threat feed and is classified as a generic phishing site. It appears on one external blocklist; the list is maintained by PhishDestroy, which has already blocked the domain for malicious activity. A VirusTotal scan performed by 91 vendor engines returned no detections at the time of analysis, but the absence of a detection does not constitute a safety guarantee. No additional indicators such as SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page content have been published, leaving the exact phishing payload and targeted brand unknown. The limited publicly available data suggest that the infrastructure is modest, relying on a single IP address and a set of name servers that appear to be shared with other hosting customers. Defenders should continue to monitor the domain for changes in resolution, add the IP address 198.251.89.229 to network‑level blocklists, and enforce existing phishing‑blocking controls such as the PhishDestroy list. Organizations that employ email or web filtering should ensure that any URLs referencing exponentialstock.com are treated as malicious, and incident response teams should be prepared to investigate any credential‑theft attempts that may originate from this domain. Ongoing collection of HTTP traffic, TLS handshake data, and content snapshots is recommended to refine the threat profile as more evidence becomes available. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-907026 ## 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/exponentialstock.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=exponentialstock.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
