Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies kickronx.us as an active crypto drainer phishing domain designed to deceive users into transferring cryptocurrency to attacker-controlled wallets. This domain impersonates a legitimate service—likely targeting users in the crypto space—by leveraging a recently registered name and a trustworthy SSL certificate to appear credible. The threat actor’s goal is to trick victims into approving malicious wallet connections or entering sensitive credentials, resulting in direct fund theft. This domain was flagged by 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating limited but credible detection. It was registered through Namecheap Inc. on March 22, 2026, and currently resolves to IP address 104.21.17.124. It holds a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which may be used to evade browser warnings and build false trust. The combination of a newly created domain, low detection rate, and active infrastructure suggests an emerging but high-risk threat. Users who visited kickronx.us should immediately disconnect from the internet, clear browser cache and cookies, and run a full antivirus scan. Do not approve any wallet connections or enter personal or financial information on this site. If any crypto transactions were attempted, review wallet activity immediately and report suspicious transfers to your exchange or wallet provider. Consider rotating API keys and enabling multi-factor authentication on all crypto accounts. Block the domain at your network level and warn others in your network to prevent further exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-1776685526-kickronx.us Favicon MD5: b2950f0615c0d2f982c38bdcba6ff3f6 TLS cert SHA-256: 50bde8bd2419217667c6b6bb14413396deb17a7eee9bfbc58acace453799b8ef ## 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/kickronx.us/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kickronx.us 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.
