# PhishDestroy threat dossier — matrixbotapp.click ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 16:32:04 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/matrixbotapp.click/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 56/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.4.130 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot, LLC Nameservers: dimitris.ns.cloudflare.com, ivy.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-21 Expires: 2027-05-21 Page title: MatrixBot — Crypto Automation Newsroom ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-18 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 391a52eaf1309d403865d4ae3f260132468646593146a67a392626c0d8b21e09 ## 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: 2026-05-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-26 11:02:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-29 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 12:01:23 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0329-7052-7670-91d0-e5d011178a6e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/matrixbotapp.click crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.matrixbotapp.click Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=matrixbotapp.click AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/matrixbotapp.click URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/matrixbotapp.click/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 11:07:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, matrixbotapp.click, is under investigation for credential theft phishing activity. Analysis indicates the site is designed to harvest user login credentials, likely through fraudulent login portals or deceptive authentication prompts. As of the latest assessment, the domain remains active and has not been flagged by security vendors for malicious behavior. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 21, 2026, through Dynadot, LLC, a registrar commonly associated with both legitimate and malicious domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which has not been widely blocklisted at this time. VirusTotal detection metrics show 0 of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, suggesting it may still be in the early stages of deployment or evading detection through obfuscation techniques. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common provider for both benign and malicious sites, which does not inherently indicate trustworthiness. Current risk assessment categorizes this domain as active and under investigation, with no confirmed takedown or mitigation efforts observed. Organizations and users are advised to implement proactive measures, including blocking the domain at the network perimeter, monitoring for related phishing attempts, and educating users on recognizing credential theft tactics. Security teams should prioritize investigating any interactions with this domain, particularly in environments where authentication credentials are critical. Further monitoring of associated infrastructure, such as the resolving IP and registrar activity, is recommended to identify potential linked threats. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 391a52eaf1309d403865d4ae3f260132468646593146a67a392626c0d8b21e09 ## 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/matrixbotapp.click/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=matrixbotapp.click 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.
