Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies fundinggateways.com as an active credential theft domain designed to trick users into surrendering login details under the guise of a crypto funding platform. This site masquerades as a legitimate gateway service, luring victims with promises of easy access to cryptocurrency resources while silently harvesting credentials for misuse. Security researchers have observed this domain operating since its February 2, 2025 creation date, with threat actors leveraging common registrar Namecheap Inc. to establish their infrastructure quickly and at low cost. This domain was flagged by exactly 1 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors at the time of analysis, indicating low but concerning detection rates that could leave some users vulnerable. The domain resolves to IP address 37.49.229.75 and holds a legitimate-looking SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, which helps it appear trustworthy to unsuspecting visitors. The combination of recent domain creation, low detection rates, and deceptive branding specifically targeting cryptocurrency users creates an elevated risk environment that demands immediate caution from anyone considering entering login credentials. If you've visited fundinggateways.com, immediately check any accounts where you may have entered credentials and enable two-factor authentication where possible. Avoid using the same passwords across different platforms, as credential theft often leads to broader account compromise. Report this domain to your security team or use PhishDestroy's verification tools to check any future interactions. Never enter sensitive information on sites you haven't independently verified through official channels. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260513-A26EBC Favicon MD5: 0a7612a5704511cc47a1ba3cc774e79a TLS cert SHA-256: 50c30cd803754ca51e885dd21ff375f5b78ff2a736851005455d393d91c229e9 ## 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/fundinggateways.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fundinggateways.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.
