# PhishDestroy threat dossier — marketsdarkweb.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 09:39:52 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/marketsdarkweb.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 88/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.12.189 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. 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.

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: 2021-12-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 18:46:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-27 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 03:04:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efa85-ae1e-7309-9fe4-f4aec70d32e4/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/marketsdarkweb.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.marketsdarkweb.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=marketsdarkweb.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/marketsdarkweb.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/marketsdarkweb.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:13:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, marketsdarkweb.com, is flagged for credential harvesting phishing activity targeting users of darknet market platforms. The threat type is classified as generic_phishing with an elevated risk level due to its historical targeting of sensitive user credentials and association with illicit market listings. Analysis indicates the domain was operational until recently, when it was taken offline following detection and blocking by security systems. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through NameSilo, LLC on December 28, 2021, and resolved to the IP address 104.21.12.189. Security vendor detections on VirusTotal show 2 out of 95 engines flagged the domain as malicious. The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services, a common practice among phishing domains to appear legitimate. The domain appeared on one security blocklist and was referenced in a single threat intelligence pulse, suggesting limited but confirmed malicious activity. The page title, 'Dark Markets List | Darknet Markets,' aligns with typical phishing lures designed to attract users seeking access to darknet marketplaces. Mitigation steps for this threat type include blocking the domain and its associated IP address at the network perimeter to prevent any residual access attempts. Organizations should monitor for credential reuse from affected users, particularly those with access to sensitive systems or financial data. Security teams are advised to review logs for any prior connections to marketsdarkweb.com and conduct password resets for potentially compromised accounts. Additionally, user awareness training should emphasize the risks of interacting with domains mimicking darknet market services, as these are frequently used to harvest credentials for further exploitation or extortion. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 702a02509ba130d30bc1c1bb1e39c41a ## 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/marketsdarkweb.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=marketsdarkweb.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.
