# PhishDestroy threat dossier — islanddao.info ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 18:58:42 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/islanddao.info/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (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: ["amanda.ns.cloudflare.com", "dante.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-27 Page title: IslandDAO V4 HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-23 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: a37c7cbf812adf78621e3cf88187c2ed10a27b187323ff65c8d2204d98f83abb ## 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: 2026-05-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-27 21:30:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 06:31:39 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-08 01:37:28 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 15:23:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, islanddao.info, is flagged as a high-risk crypto drainer phishing site targeting users of IslandDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization. Analysis of the page title, IslandDAO V4, indicates an attempt to impersonate the legitimate platform, likely to deceive victims into connecting wallets and authorizing malicious transactions that drain cryptocurrency assets. The use of a versioned title (V4) suggests an evolution in the threat actor’s tactics, potentially to bypass detection or signal an updated drainer kit to affiliates. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple concrete technical indicators. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and was registered on May 27, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with fraudulent domains. VirusTotal detection shows 4 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The domain appears on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by multiple wallet security providers. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt with serial number E8, a common certificate authority exploited in phishing campaigns due to its free and automated issuance process. As of the latest assessment, islanddao.info remains active and continues to pose a significant risk to users. The domain’s infrastructure, combined with its presence on multiple blocklists and detection by security vendors, confirms its malicious intent. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with the site, revoke any connected wallet permissions, and monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions. The high risk level is justified by the domain’s persistence, technical indicators, and direct targeting of cryptocurrency assets, which can result in irreversible financial loss. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: a37c7cbf812adf78621e3cf88187c2ed10a27b187323ff65c8d2204d98f83abb ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/islanddao.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=islanddao.info 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
