PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2024-01-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-08-08 11:18:44 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-29 16:14:09 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-24 03:00:18 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01988967-519d-735e-9787-f374f2acd5b9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/falconminingfarms.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.falconminingfarms.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=falconminingfarms.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/falconminingfarms.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/falconminingfarms.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:35:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies falconminingfarms.com as a medium-risk phishing domain impersonating a cryptocurrency mining service called Falcon Mining Farms. Although currently taken offline, this domain was flagged due to suspicious activity and low trust scores, indicating potential attempts to deceive users. The phishing scheme typically involves luring victims with promises of crypto mining opportunities or investment returns. Users visiting falconminingfarms.com might have been prompted to enter sensitive information such as login credentials or payment details, which cybercriminals could exploit for financial gain or identity theft. If you visited falconminingfarms.com, it is recommended to avoid providing any personal or financial data. Run a thorough malware scan on your device, change passwords if you submitted any credentials, and monitor your accounts for unusual activity. Staying informed about such phishing threats can help protect you from future scams. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 0896932230bb4f4765fe44d5bcb52735bc40f51f25fe19afbba8738546ad92a4 ## 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/falconminingfarms.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=falconminingfarms.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.
