# PhishDestroy threat dossier — finance38-ex1.pro ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 19:16:42 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/finance38-ex1.pro/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 63/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Bfore.Ai PreCrime, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.220.16 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameCheap, Inc. Nameservers: ["earl.ns.cloudflare.com", "jule.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-17 Expires: 2027-05-21 Page title: 404 Not Found ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 68e95bf97fe06daf790cab21934b0e5b7200049eaa9ba0465f82a3875cb25f44 ## 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: 2026-06-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 16:30:26 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-28 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:14:29 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 16:29:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk crypto wallet drainer, designed to siphon digital assets from victims by impersonating legitimate financial or cryptocurrency platforms. Analysis indicates the threat is actively targeting users through deceptive interfaces that mimic wallet authentication or transaction approval flows, a tactic commonly associated with cryptocurrency theft operations. The domain’s infrastructure and rapid deployment suggest a coordinated effort to exploit users before detection and takedown occur. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain finance38-ex1.pro was registered on June 17, 2026, through NameCheap, Inc., a registrar frequently utilized by threat actors due to its accessibility and privacy features. The domain resolves to the IP address 172.67.220.16, which is associated with a content delivery network, a common obfuscation technique to mask the true origin of malicious activity. At the time of assessment, the domain is detected by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating limited but growing awareness of its malicious nature. Additionally, the domain appears on three security blocklists, including those maintained by cryptocurrency-focused threat intelligence sources. The SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt, provides minimal assurance, as such certificates are routinely exploited by malicious actors to lend a false sense of legitimacy to phishing sites. The page title, '404 Not Found,' suggests either a placeholder or a deliberate attempt to evade automated detection systems by presenting as an inactive or benign resource. Mitigation against this crypto wallet drainer requires a multi-layered approach. Users should verify the authenticity of any financial or cryptocurrency platform by cross-referencing official domains and avoiding links from unsolicited communications. Wallet software should be configured to require explicit approval for all transactions, and hardware wallets should be used for high-value assets to reduce exposure to online threats. Network-level protections, such as DNS filtering or endpoint detection systems, can block access to known malicious domains like finance38-ex1.pro. Organizations and individuals should monitor for indicators of compromise, including unexpected transaction requests or unauthorized access attempts, and report such activity to relevant security teams or threat intelligence platforms for further analysis and dissemination. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: a976d227e5d1dcf62f5f7e623211dd1b TLS cert SHA-256: 68e95bf97fe06daf790cab21934b0e5b7200049eaa9ba0465f82a3875cb25f44 ## 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/finance38-ex1.pro/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=finance38-ex1.pro 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.
