No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-11-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-07 14:24:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-07 18:50:03 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f3c89-28b6-7543-b015-19c42b3b30e9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/itemexpansion.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.itemexpansion.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=itemexpansion.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/itemexpansion.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/itemexpansion.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 14:35:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, itemexpansion.com, is flagged as an active brand impersonation threat targeting Walmart, a major retail corporation. Analysis indicates the site mimics Walmart’s official branding, including an identical page title, to deceive users into disclosing sensitive information or executing unauthorized transactions. No explicit crypto drainer kit signatures have been identified, but the domain’s infrastructure aligns with known phishing campaigns leveraging trusted brand identities to bypass user vigilance. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on November 15, 2025, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar frequently associated with malicious registrations. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.136.8, a host with prior associations to phishing and malware distribution. VirusTotal detection metrics show 9 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet classified it as a threat. No additional blocklist entries were identified beyond the VirusTotal detections. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a legitimate provider, which may reduce initial user suspicion despite the domain’s malicious intent. As of the latest assessment, itemexpansion.com remains active and unresolved, posing a persistent high-risk threat to users. Immediate response actions include submitting the domain to additional threat intelligence platforms for broader dissemination, notifying the registrar (Gname.com Pte. Ltd.) for potential suspension, and updating enterprise and consumer security controls to block access. The remaining risk is elevated due to the domain’s active status, legitimate SSL certificate, and low detection rate among major security vendors. Users are advised to verify domain authenticity through official Walmart channels and report suspicious links to their security teams or threat intelligence providers. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 4e86ce5fa613f6e8cb16be355948216d TLS cert SHA-256: a538eab30ca7d7679227545f9ee31ca7f38855c0421e003d55e38b4b2df5d1e3 ## 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/itemexpansion.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=itemexpansion.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
