Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, marketplace-darkmatter.com, is identified as a high-risk phishing site targeting users of DarkMatter Market, a known darknet marketplace. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to mimic legitimate DarkMatter Market links, presenting itself as an official Darknet Onion URL for 2026. The page title, "DarkMatter Market Link | Official Darknet Onion URL 2026," reinforces the deception, likely aiming to harvest credentials or distribute malicious payloads under the guise of a trusted platform. No specific drainer kit or cryptocurrency wallet association has been confirmed at this stage, but the domain exhibits characteristics consistent with credential phishing and brand impersonation tactics. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on May 04, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.206.58 and employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which is commonly used to lend an appearance of legitimacy. VirusTotal detection shows 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, indicating limited but present awareness within the security community. As of the latest assessment, the domain remains unlisted on Google Safe Browsing (GSB) and has not been widely blocklisted, suggesting it may still evade detection in some environments. The domain remains active, posing an ongoing threat to users who may encounter it through phishing campaigns, darknet forums, or search engine manipulation. Immediate response actions include blocking the domain at the DNS level, adding the IP 172.67.206.58 to network-level deny lists, and alerting users to the presence of this fraudulent site. Despite these measures, the risk persists due to the domain's recent registration, low detection rate, and active status. Organizations and individuals are advised to monitor for further indicators of compromise, particularly those related to credential theft or secondary malware distribution linked to this infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: dff442fadb33e255661856bd8bb3f720391e7398651c2079f02f27f586006fe6 ## 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/marketplace-darkmatter.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=marketplace-darkmatter.com 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.
