Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies gpecmining.cc as an active crypto drainer domain designed to steal cryptocurrency assets from unsuspecting victims. This malicious site masquerades as a legitimate mining operation, luring users with false promises of high returns to drain connected wallets. The domain leverages deceptive tactics including brand impersonation and fake investment opportunities to trick users into connecting their wallets, after which malicious smart contracts silently transfer funds to attacker-controlled addresses. This domain was flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a significant but not universal detection rate. The domain was registered through Global Domain Group LLC on February 11, 2026, a notably recent creation that suggests opportunistic malicious activity. The infrastructure resolves to IP address 163.61.188.5 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which provides a false sense of legitimacy to the phishing site. Security researchers have identified this domain as part of an ongoing campaign targeting cryptocurrency investors. Users who have visited gpecmining.cc should immediately disconnect their wallets from the site and revoke any connected permissions through their wallet's security settings. Transfer any remaining funds to a new wallet address not associated with the compromised connection. Report the domain to your antivirus provider and consider using a dedicated browser extension to block known malicious domains. Monitor your transaction history and wallet balances for any unauthorized activity. If funds have been stolen, report the incident to local law enforcement and your cryptocurrency exchange while documenting all transaction hashes and interactions with the malicious site. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260527-D8FE1D ## 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/gpecmining.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gpecmining.cc 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.
