Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies a high-risk credential theft domain, invest.credits-center.com, actively impersonating financial services to harvest user credentials. This domain leverages a recently registered facade to deceive users into entering sensitive login details, posing a direct threat to personal and corporate financial data. The threat actor behind this campaign employs social engineering tactics, capitalizing on the domain’s misleading association with credit services to trick victims into surrendering their credentials. This domain exhibits multiple red flags validated by independent security assessments. Created on October 31, 2025, invest.credits-center.com has already been detected by 11 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors as a phishing site. It resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and is registered through Gransy, s.r.o., a domain registrar with no notable trust indicators. The domain operates under a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend it an air of legitimacy despite its malicious intent. These technical indicators, combined with the domain’s recent creation and low trust score, strongly suggest a coordinated credential harvesting operation. To mitigate exposure to this credential theft domain, organizations and individuals must take immediate action. First, block network access to invest.credits-center.com and its associated IP address, 188.114.97.3, at the firewall and DNS levels. Second, inspect all recent login attempts for suspicious activity tied to this domain or similar impersonation tactics. Third, enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) across all financial and email accounts to reduce the impact of credential compromise. Finally, report this domain to your security team or relevant threat intelligence platforms to aid in broader detection and prevention efforts. Proactive blocking and user education remain critical to disrupting the credential theft lifecycle. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260505-A43E68 Favicon MD5: c2d889cfd5130cb6f8f6b68b1821ef4c TLS cert SHA-256: 907e499b8a9be595205a042bfe016b18b723eee7dc1733af5fa15acb94c5c0a9 ## 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/invest.credits-center.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=invest.credits-center.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.
