Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies loopsdesign.xyz as an elevated risk due to its involvement in a credential harvesting scam, a type of phishing that specifically targets sensitive user information. The risk level is heightened because this domain has been flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a potential threat that many security solutions are not yet aware of. Furthermore, loopsdesign.xyz was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, and was created on May 01, 2026, which are all crucial pieces of information for tracking and mitigating its impact. It also appears on 1 security blocklist and has been mentioned in 1 threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, showing its recognition within the cybersecurity community. The domain is currently protected by a Let's Encrypt / E8 SSL certificate, which, while providing encryption, does not guarantee the site's legitimacy. The credibility of loopsdesign.xyz is further diminished by its current offline status, suggesting that it may have been taken down due to its malicious activities. Despite this, the fact that it was able to operate, even briefly, underscores the need for vigilance. The combination of these factors, including its appearance on security blocklists and its registration details, paints a picture of a domain that was set up with potentially malicious intent. The mention in threat intelligence and its flagging by some security vendors highlight the importance of staying informed about such threats. To protect against credential harvesting scams like the one loopsdesign.xyz is involved in, users should be extremely cautious when entering sensitive information online. They should always verify the authenticity of a website, looking for signs like HTTPS in the URL and a legitimate SSL certificate. Moreover, being wary of websites that ask for unnecessary information or have poor spelling and grammar can help in avoiding phishing traps. Regularly updating security software and being part of a community that shares threat intelligence can also significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to such scams. By taking these steps, individuals can safeguard their personal data and contribute to making the online environment safer. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 7fd6b3d64d6be0aa8eb17ba90b681329 TLS cert SHA-256: 1b1b56657345ae15d465f0aca90bde46b3b4bfdbf14e506049c14822f8633f59 ## 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/loopsdesign.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=loopsdesign.xyz 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.
