# PhishDestroy threat dossier — genesis-pool.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 09:27:05 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/genesis-pool.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Airdrop Targeted brand: Ethereum Phishing kit: Airdrop Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 185.158.133.1 (US, New York City) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS396982 Google LLC Registrar: Wild West Domains, LLC Nameservers: ns77.domaincontrol.com, ns78.domaincontrol.com Registered: 2026-06-07 Expires: 2027-06-07 Page title: ETH Genesis · Ethereum Genesis Airdrop ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-05 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: bcc8760494dd3b402b74f8082c083ddb809a99636334806f7b8bb9aa112a60eb ## 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: 2026-06-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-19 09:02:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-19 07:05:12 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 11:17:44 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-20 00:16:34 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019edeaf-b79b-7704-bc6c-dc08f7bf2c61/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/03238a04-e031-4329-9623-2564e61e0c2f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/genesis-pool.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.genesis-pool.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=genesis-pool.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/genesis-pool.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/genesis-pool.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:39:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, genesis-pool.org, poses a direct financial threat to cryptocurrency users by impersonating Ethereum’s official branding to promote a fraudulent airdrop. The site falsely claims to distribute Ethereum tokens as part of a limited-time giveaway, a common tactic used to trick victims into connecting their wallets or disclosing private keys. Such schemes often lead to immediate asset theft, as attackers gain unauthorized access to funds once credentials are shared. The domain’s design mimics legitimate Ethereum promotions, including logos, color schemes, and technical jargon, making it difficult for users to distinguish from authentic campaigns without close inspection. Analysis indicates this domain is part of a coordinated phishing operation. It was registered on June 07, 2026, through Wild West Domains, LLC, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. Infrastructure analysis reveals the site resolves to the IP address 185.158.133.1, which has been flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain appears on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by multiple threat intelligence platforms. Its SSL certificate, issued by Let’s Encrypt, is valid but does not mitigate the malicious intent, as attackers commonly use free certificates to lend a false sense of legitimacy to fraudulent sites. The Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 further confirms its classification as a high-risk entity. Users who visited genesis-pool.org or interacted with its content should take immediate action to secure their assets. First, disconnect any wallets linked to the site and revoke all connected dApp permissions using a trusted blockchain explorer. Next, scan the device used to access the domain for malware, as phishing sites often deploy malicious scripts to harvest additional credentials. Monitor all associated wallet addresses for unauthorized transactions and consider transferring funds to a new, secure wallet if any suspicious activity is detected. Report the domain to relevant threat intelligence platforms to aid in broader mitigation efforts. Always verify the authenticity of airdrop promotions through official Ethereum channels before engaging with any external links or requests. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260619-731DCA Favicon MD5: 765ca7043700259a364155c9a569c631 TLS cert SHA-256: bcc8760494dd3b402b74f8082c083ddb809a99636334806f7b8bb9aa112a60eb ## 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/genesis-pool.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=genesis-pool.org 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.
