# PhishDestroy threat dossier — huntersalpha.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-26 12:25:07 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/huntersalpha.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 65/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Giveaway ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.38.31 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["camilo.ns.cloudflare.com", "serena.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-17 Page title: HUNTER ALPHA NFT GIVEAWAY ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-03 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: bde55dbad10dfe889ff4b33c64dd41a01775bdd8b3615e076506f5e8ee499f07 ## 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: 2026-04-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-18 00:27:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-17 21:26:51 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-26 01:40:04 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 02:23:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d9d54-d332-722f-aa2f-4047aa17ede5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8527d1fe-c845-4095-887d-dc1826f51ae1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/huntersalpha.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.huntersalpha.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=huntersalpha.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/huntersalpha.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/huntersalpha.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-18 00:28:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified huntersalpha.xyz as an active generic phishing site, specifically designed to mimic an NFT giveaway. This poses a significant risk to users who may be lured into providing sensitive information or connecting their cryptocurrency wallets. The domain's page title, "HUNTER ALPHA NFT GIVEAWAY", strongly suggests an attempt to deceive users with a fraudulent NFT promotion. Technical indicators for huntersalpha.xyz include its registration through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and its resolution to the IP address 104.21.38.31. The domain was created relatively recently, on April 04, 2026. Furthermore, VirusTotal reports that 1 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious. The presence of an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt does not guarantee the site's legitimacy, as it is commonly used by both legitimate and malicious websites. Currently, huntersalpha.xyz is active and presents an elevated risk to users. It is strongly advised to avoid interacting with this website or providing any personal or financial information. Users who have previously interacted with the site should take immediate steps to secure their accounts and monitor for any signs of unauthorized activity. Blocking the domain huntersalpha.xyz is recommended to prevent accidental access and further potential harm. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260417-6AC8A9 TLS cert SHA-256: bde55dbad10dfe889ff4b33c64dd41a01775bdd8b3615e076506f5e8ee499f07 ## 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/huntersalpha.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=huntersalpha.xyz 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.
