# PhishDestroy threat dossier — harvest-fx.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 15:54:21 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/harvest-fx.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 68/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: base (and: ethereum, google, x.com) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Netcraft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 86.107.77.165 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: ASAS216395 hostbet HostBet Cloud Technologies Private Limited, IT Hosting org: AS216395 HostBet Cloud Technologies Private Limited Registrar: Atak Domain Nameservers: ns1.hostmane.net, ns2.hostmane.net Registered: 2024-11-22 Expires: 2025-11-22 Page title: Harvest-fx- Home ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-04-23 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 15921b9ee2f8b6c7007805f197a4f74b4596cdcedf1a7961a7fbd744ea2a0f48 ## 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: 2024-11-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-08-08 11:20:41 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-21 23:01:27 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-16 12:04:47 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01988969-0d98-731e-8068-d9ecf4808a63/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/harvest-fx.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.harvest-fx.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=harvest-fx.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/harvest-fx.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/harvest-fx.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:52:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies harvest-fx.com as a brand impersonation domain targeting the Base brand. Classified under brand impersonation, this domain attempted to mimic Base’s identity, as indicated by its page title “Harvest-fx- Home.” The intent appears to be misleading users by leveraging the trusted Base brand name, although the overall risk level remains low given the domain’s limited activity. Technically, harvest-fx.com was registered on November 22, 2024, through Atak Domain and resolves to the IP address 86.107.77.165. VirusTotal reports a single detection out of 95 security vendors, and Gridinsoft assigns it a trust score of 0/100, indicating very low confidence in its legitimacy. The domain also appears on one security blocklist, further confirming suspicion. The infrastructure and low detection rate suggest minimal distribution or impact at this stage. At present, harvest-fx.com is offline, mitigating immediate threat to users. Its deactivation combined with low detection flags and blocklist inclusion shows proactive mitigation efforts are underway. Despite the low risk, users and organizations should continue to exercise caution by verifying URLs carefully and avoiding engagement with suspicious domains impersonating well-known brands like Base. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: eef1fd17d9071d2ac8f06c0187456928f5e1b0e784bf2dfe33c91523b880053c TLS cert SHA-256: 15921b9ee2f8b6c7007805f197a4f74b4596cdcedf1a7961a7fbd744ea2a0f48 ## 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/harvest-fx.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=harvest-fx.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.
