# PhishDestroy threat dossier — mars-market.wiki ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-05 19:50:00 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/mars-market.wiki/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 51/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 176.116.0.24 (NL, Almere Stad) ASN: AS200019 ALEXHOST SRL Hosting org: Alexhost SRL 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: ["ns3.my-ndns.com", "ns4.my-ndns.com"] Registered: 2026-05-18 Page title: Mars Market Link 2026 | Official Onion URL & Mirror Links ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-07-03 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 78dc46909479f67e3fc5b305103b7ef6df8cb8c73816a491ff5641974f57626b Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.mars-market.wiki ## 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: 2026-05-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-18 23:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 03:47:04 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-05 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-27 00:06:42 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:56:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, mars-market.wiki, has been assessed at an elevated risk level due to its clear impersonation of the Mars Market brand. The site masquerades as the official Mars Market link for 2026, likely aiming to harvest credentials or cryptocurrency from unsuspecting users. PhishDestroy identified this threat as a classic brand impersonation phishing campaign, leveraging the trust associated with the Mars Market name to deceive victims. Technical indicators paint a concerning picture. The domain was created on May 18, 2026, and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar not commonly associated with legitimate market sites. It resolves to IP address 176.116.0.24 and uses an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt (R12), which provides encryption but does not verify legitimacy. VirusTotal shows 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, and it appears on one security blocklist. AlienVault OTX includes it in a single threat intelligence pulse, confirming its malicious nature. The site is currently offline, but the threat remains active as similar domains may still be operational. To mitigate this threat, organizations should block the domain mars-market.wiki and its associated IP at the network perimeter. Users should be warned against interacting with any links or emails referencing Mars Market, and credentials used on similar sites should be changed immediately. PhishDestroy recommends deploying email security filters to catch phishing attempts and conducting user awareness training focused on brand impersonation tactics. Continuous monitoring for related domains is advised, as threat actors often register multiple variations after a takedown. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: ba33f56b20470a09aff46a305218114b TLS cert SHA-256: 78dc46909479f67e3fc5b305103b7ef6df8cb8c73816a491ff5641974f57626b ## 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/mars-market.wiki/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mars-market.wiki 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.
