Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Ultahost, Inc. Nameservers: simon.ns.cloudflare.com, sloan.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-14 Page title: OmniPact Secures $50 Million to Advance Trust Infrastructure | CryptoSlate ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-07-13 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: a97f0aa3211f5463880ad7afb38fc2ae9195e3b247bb087ed5ab85fe12db4ea0 ## 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: 2026-04-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-15 07:10:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-15 04:11:26 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-22 21:36:55 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 08:40:19 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d8f54-1b7f-718e-a7d8-ccdec98b175b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/98b40d48-d6dc-4c07-baad-7b0d74747ea2 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/gro77z-cryptoslate.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.gro77z-cryptoslate.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=gro77z-cryptoslate.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/gro77z-cryptoslate.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/gro77z-cryptoslate.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-15 07:11:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has flagged gro77z-cryptoslate.com as an active crypto wallet phishing domain designed to trick users into revealing sensitive wallet credentials. The site mimics legitimate cryptocurrency news portals to lure victims with false promises of exclusive crypto insights, only to harvest private keys or seed phrases. Once entered, the stolen credentials are often used to drain digital assets or facilitate follow-on fraud. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy due to multiple red flags, including a low detection rate of just 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain was registered on April 14, 2026, through Ultahost, Inc., a hosting provider known for accommodating high-risk domains. The site also uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, but the certificate is linked to a known malicious IP address (172.67.222.124). These factors indicate a recently established, short-lived campaign targeting cryptocurrency users. If you visited gro77z-cryptoslate.com, assume your wallet credentials may have been compromised. Immediately transfer any remaining funds to a newly generated wallet with a different seed phrase. Revoke permissions for any connected applications and enable two-factor authentication on all crypto-related accounts. Report the domain to your security team and consider running a malware scan on any device used to access the site. Avoid interacting with this domain or related links, and warn others who may have been exposed. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260415-621C04 Favicon MD5: 3bac00067c5d2f4f1adba0100108cd06 TLS cert SHA-256: a97f0aa3211f5463880ad7afb38fc2ae9195e3b247bb087ed5ab85fe12db4ea0 ## 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/gro77z-cryptoslate.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gro77z-cryptoslate.com 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.
