Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain gifts-chainlink.org is suspected of being involved in credential theft activities. This domain impersonates a well-known brand, Chainlink, to trick users into divulging their login credentials. The infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain is actively being used for phishing attacks, targeting individuals who may be unfamiliar with the legitimate Chainlink services. Analysis indicates that the domain has a VirusTotal score of 0/95, suggesting it has not been flagged by the majority of security engines as of yet. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. It was created on April 28, 2026. The domain is not currently listed in the Google Safe Browsing (GSB) database, and there are no known blocklist entries. The use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate provides an additional layer of trust that attackers are leveraging to appear more legitimate. The current status of the domain is active, and it poses a significant risk to unsuspecting users. Immediate actions should include monitoring for any unauthorized access to accounts and educating employees or users about the risks of phishing through credential theft. Additionally, network administrators should consider blocking the IP address 188.114.97.3 and adding the domain to their internal threat lists to prevent further compromise. The remaining risk is high due to the domain's recent creation and lack of detection, making it a prime candidate for further investigation and potential mitigation. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: ab9d318eaa5f7388d85ca3bd78e79218 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/gifts-chainlink.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gifts-chainlink.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
