Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies marsdarknet.us as a malicious website posing as a darknet marketplace, specifically designed to deceive users into submitting sensitive information such as login credentials or payment details. This site mimics legitimate darknet platforms to trick visitors into engaging with fraudulent services, which could lead to identity theft, financial loss, or exposure to further cyber threats. The threat is elevated due to its active status and the fact that it evades detection by most security vendors, making it particularly dangerous for unsuspecting users. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with specific threat intelligence confirming its malicious nature. The site resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, and was created on March 13, 2026. It is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar known for allowing high-risk domain registrations. Only 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal currently flag this domain, indicating its stealthy nature and the challenge it poses for automated detection systems. The recent creation date suggests this is a newly deployed threat, likely part of an ongoing campaign targeting darknet users. If you visited marsdarknet.us, avoid entering any personal or financial information, as it may be harvested by cybercriminals. Do not interact with any prompts or links on the site, as they may lead to further malicious content or malware downloads. Disconnect from the site immediately and consider running a full antivirus scan on your device to check for any potential infections. If you entered credentials or payment details, change your passwords immediately and monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. Report the domain to your cybersecurity team or relevant authorities to help prevent others from falling victim to this scam. Always verify the legitimacy of darknet sites through trusted sources before engaging. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 76847b95117917d8cd9b3fb48d955040 TLS cert SHA-256: f8988ef7e6a2dd4e8b7a10c7d700eae72983adb4dbddfdc3cb71bdf0ab23ed7f ## 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/marsdarknet.us/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=marsdarknet.us 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.
