getgenius.xyz: Confirmed Phishing Site

Analysis of getgenius.xyz as of July 26, 2026 indicates a high‑risk generic phishing operation that remains active. The domain is registered through NameCheap, Inc. and resolves to Cloudflare nameservers (karsyn.ns.cloudflare.com and nico.ns.cloudflare.com), a common hosting choice for malicious actors seeking rapid DNS changes and CDN protection. An HTTP 301 response is observed, confirming that the site is reachable and redirects clients, but the final payload has not been captured in the provided data.

VirusTotal scans show that five out of ninety‑one security vendors have flagged the domain, providing independent confirmation of malicious intent. The domain appears on three external blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, reinforcing the consensus that it hosts phishing content. While the page title, SSL certificate details, and underlying IP address are not disclosed, the convergence of registrar information, redirection behavior, and multiple vendor detections creates a strong evidential baseline.

Defenders should immediately block getgenius.xyz at network perimeters, include it in threat intel feeds, and monitor its DNS records for any changes. Continuous sandbox analysis is advised to capture the final payload and to verify the specific phishing vectors employed.

## 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 (operator 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.
