No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-09 03:22:00 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:20:37 UTC (STALE — 23 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-15 06:13:24 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 23 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 23 days stale) 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/019c405d-477d-73e7-8a1b-3c80273afa71/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/92f856f0-0f34-487f-b8cc-71f89adf3f9b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/krowndex.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.krowndex.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=krowndex.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/krowndex.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/krowndex.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:20:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies krowndex.finance as a low-risk generic phishing domain. The domain was registered recently and flagged for potential misuse in phishing activities targeting cryptocurrency users. Supporting evidence includes its registration through Dynadot LLC and appearance on three security blocklists. VirusTotal reports 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging it, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100. The domain resolved to IP 104.21.48.161 and carried a page titled "KROWN DEX," suggesting an attempt to mimic a decentralized finance platform. Currently, krowndex.finance is taken offline, reducing immediate risk. Users should avoid interacting with this domain and remain cautious of similar suspicious finance-related sites. Continuous monitoring and blocking of this domain are recommended to prevent phishing exposure. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260209-273887 Favicon SHA-256: ff370dc17c059ddc6e7ddfc768b03d3d5d5cb235b2ef97886dfac553455805fd TLS cert SHA-256: 7a41e9f68f140a028bd7ce673217c442bdaa38ac56a4bb30d8bd22230c39fb96 ## 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/krowndex.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=krowndex.finance 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.
