# PhishDestroy threat dossier — marketing.addr.ws ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 20:32:07 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/marketing.addr.ws/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 99/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Banking Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Fortinet, Seclookup, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/namesilo-killed-our-twitter https://phishdestroy.io/xmrwallet-namesilo-exposed Nameservers: ["NS1.DNSOWL.COM", "NS2.DNSOWL.COM", "NS3.DNSOWL.COM"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: addr.ws - addr Resources and Information. ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:23:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-13 07:49:46 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-15 06:11:37 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:34:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies marketing.addr.ws as a medium-risk generic phishing domain impersonating addr.ws, a site that ostensibly provides addr-related resources. The domain, created on February 21, 2026, was used to deceive users by presenting a page titled "addr.ws - addr Resources and Information," aiming to harvest sensitive data or deliver malicious payloads. Technical analysis shows that marketing.addr.ws was flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on two separate security blocklists, indicating recognition by multiple threat intelligence sources. The Gridinsoft trust score for this domain is 0/100, emphasizing its untrustworthiness. The domain's infrastructure and behavior align with typical phishing campaigns, leveraging a seemingly legitimate page title to lure victims. Currently, marketing.addr.ws has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk. However, users should remain cautious of residual phishing attempts or similar domains. PhishDestroy recommends monitoring for related threats and avoiding interaction with this domain to prevent credential compromise or malware infection. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 6/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: def00c11b1596db4efee6a9fbe64fc27 ## 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/marketing.addr.ws/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=marketing.addr.ws 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.
