Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] gate-security.xyz has been confirmed as an active phishing domain designed to mimic a security or authentication portal. The threat type is classified as 'generic_phishing,' indicating it likely attempts to harvest credentials or deploy a drainer kit under the guise of a legitimate security service. No specific brand impersonation or drainer kit signature was identified in the available intelligence, but the domain structure and SSL certificate suggest a coordinated effort to deceive users seeking security solutions. The malicious infrastructure may evolve to target enterprise users or individuals searching for protection tools. This domain was registered through Global Domain Group LLC on May 07, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is associated with previous malicious activity. VirusTotal analysis shows a detection rate of 5 out of 95 security vendors as of the latest scan, indicating limited but present recognition of its malicious nature. The domain utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. Current blocklist data indicates minimal inclusion across threat intelligence platforms, though this is likely to change as further analysis is conducted. The domain does not yet appear on Google Safe Browsing (GSB) lists. As of this report, gate-security.xyz remains active and poses an elevated risk to unsuspecting users. Immediate actions include blocking the domain at the network and DNS levels, flagging the associated IP address for containment, and disseminating threat intelligence to relevant security teams. Users are strongly advised to refrain from visiting the domain or entering any credentials. Organizations should monitor for lateral movement or post-compromise activity if any interaction with the domain has occurred. While the current risk is elevated, proactive blocking and user awareness can mitigate potential damage. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 16a75c7824b5223b8e22864354e9e33f TLS cert SHA-256: c1bb78dd38ca8f1df532157492e9252b667cee2a9c51964e7f5877ecd7dcc6c6 ## 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/gate-security.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gate-security.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
