# PhishDestroy threat dossier — marimade.finance ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 03:39:38 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/marimade.finance/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Marinade ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.179.187 (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: dilbert.ns.cloudflare.com, gail.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-01 Expires: 2027-07-01 Page title: Marinade - Automated SOL Staking ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: fa755cb574685ac154981007239618ae2783cd009cb0ed911b7a54da46559ab7 ## 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: 2026-07-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-03 17:20:49 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-04 04:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-04 00:02:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2890-c972-720a-adab-e4af14e41bbd/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/marimade.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.marimade.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=marimade.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/marimade.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/marimade.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-03 17:24:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, marimade.finance, operates as a high-risk phishing site designed to impersonate Marinade, a legitimate automated SOL staking service. The site displays an identical interface, including the page title 'Marinade - Automated SOL Staking,' to deceive users into entering sensitive wallet credentials or private keys. Such impersonation campaigns typically aim to harvest authentication details, enabling attackers to drain digital assets from victims' cryptocurrency wallets. The threat is particularly acute for users of the Solana blockchain who may mistake the site for the official Marinade platform. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on July 01, 2024, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with abusive registrations. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.179.187, which is part of a content delivery network often exploited to mask malicious infrastructure. As of the latest assessment, only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain, suggesting low initial detection rates and a deliberate effort to evade automated defenses. The domain remains active and employs a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, further lending a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting visitors. Users who have interacted with marimade.finance should immediately cease all activity on the site and revoke any permissions granted to it via wallet applications. It is critical to transfer any remaining assets to a new, secure wallet and monitor transaction histories for unauthorized activity. Additionally, affected individuals should reset credentials for any accounts linked to the phishing site and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Security teams are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP at the network level to prevent further access. Given the domain's recent registration and low detection rate, heightened vigilance is recommended for all users of SOL staking services. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: a0bb96a48788ab68d24ec615647dbd76 TLS cert SHA-256: fa755cb574685ac154981007239618ae2783cd009cb0ed911b7a54da46559ab7 ## 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/marimade.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=marimade.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
