# PhishDestroy threat dossier — marinade.today ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 21:47:43 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/marinade.today/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 74/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Marinade ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, Webroot ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: dawn.ns.cloudflare.com, wesley.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-06-13 Expires: 2026-06-13 Page title: Marinade: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-06-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 9fff8780bcad78d44b3264f97a099917baf6dadfca8ae92b378af7c0b7c0751c ## 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: 2025-06-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-20 14:42:21 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-20 11:53:37 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-22 13:06:59 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-21 04:35:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019daab0-436a-7314-a69f-5bd0d566520b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d33122f1-3bf4-48e2-86ec-ffcd0cd6146d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/marinade.today crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.marinade.today Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=marinade.today AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/marinade.today URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/marinade.today/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-20 14:44:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies marinade.today as an active brand impersonation phishing domain targeting Marinade.fi users. This domain mimics the legitimate brand marinade.finance to deceive visitors into disclosing sensitive information such as wallet credentials or private keys. The threat actor registered the domain on June 13, 2025 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar commonly abused in phishing operations. VirusTotal analysis confirms 2 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain, indicating low but present detection coverage, while the domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. The use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate adds superficial legitimacy, increasing the risk of successful deception among non-technical users. This domain was flagged for active brand impersonation targeting the Marinade ecosystem, a liquid staking protocol on Solana. The domain marinade.today was created on June 13, 2025, just days before the current investigation. Security telemetry shows minimal vendor detection (2/95), suggesting the campaign is either newly deployed or leveraging subtle obfuscation techniques. The IP address 188.114.96.3 has been associated with multiple low-reputation activities, including hosting of phishing lures and fake DeFi interfaces. While not yet widely blocked, the combination of recent registration, impersonation tactics, and hosting on a bulletproof-friendly IP elevates the risk to elevated status. Users who visited marinade.today should immediately check their browser history and wallet extensions for unauthorized connections. If any sensitive data such as seed phrases or private keys were entered, transfer all funds to a new wallet immediately and revoke any unauthorized approvals using tools like Solscan or Debank. Clear browser cache and cookies, then run a malware scan. Report the domain to your antivirus vendor, browser provider, and the Marinade security team via their official channels. Avoid visiting any similar domains without verifying the correct URL (marinade.finance) and ensuring HTTPS with a valid certificate issued to the legitimate domain. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260420-B0EF42 Favicon MD5: c3d9e7ac8ad834ae3d129c8c7a595a4f TLS cert SHA-256: 9fff8780bcad78d44b3264f97a099917baf6dadfca8ae92b378af7c0b7c0751c ## 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/marinade.today/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=marinade.today 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.
