hopezx.run Safety Check — Phishing Campaign Detected

The domain hopezx.run is currently flagged as a high‑risk phishing campaign. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain is delegated to the nameservers ns911a.microsoftinternetsafety.net and ns911b.microsoftinternetsafety.net, which are publicly listed but do not correspond to official Microsoft infrastructure, suggesting an attempt to convey legitimacy through naming. Registration was performed via MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used for legitimate enterprises, indicating that the operators may have leveraged a reputable registrar to avoid immediate suspicion.

HTTP probing returns a 302 redirect status, a pattern frequently employed by phishing sites to forward victims to credential‑harvesting pages while obscuring the final destination. VirusTotal reports that 19 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, providing independent confirmation of malicious intent. The domain appears on one public security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, demonstrating that multiple threat‑intelligence sources have recognized it as hostile.

Despite these indicators, the site remains active, and no public SSL certificate details, page title, or content snapshots are currently available, leaving the exact landing page and targeted brand undefined. Defenders should prioritize DNS and URL filtering of hopezx.run, incorporate the domain into existing phishing mitigation rules, and monitor for any associated IP addresses or newly observed redirects. Continuous re‑assessment is advised, as further evidence such as page content or additional blocklist listings may emerge, refining the threat profile and response actions.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      57827fa88083035e2381d11a25a7825f58138a6d1a4c8d389c6a9b841720f4bd

## 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.
