for audit but no formal notice was sent.

miningagent.top Cryptocurrency Scam Domain

miningagent.top is a cryptocurrency scam domain that has been flagged by 1 out of 93 vendors on VirusTotal. The domain was taken down shortly after being detected, but its brief activity period indicates a targeted attempt to exploit unsuspecting users. The domain was hosted on Cloudflare's infrastructure, with an IP address located in the United States.

The site, titled 'dapp', was likely designed to deceive users into engaging with fraudulent cryptocurrency schemes. Despite its offline status, the domain's initial presence highlights the persistent threat of cryptocurrency scams. PhishDestroy was the first to blocklist the domain, underscoring its proactive measures in identifying and mitigating threats.

miningagent.top was created on February 21, 2026, and detected by PhishDestroy on February 26, 2026. The domain's quick takedown suggests effective intervention, but it also points to the fleeting nature of such scams. With a platform risk score of 56 out of 100, the domain posed a moderate threat during its operational period. The use of Cloudflare's services and a valid SSL certificate from issuer WE1 may have lent the site an appearance of legitimacy, potentially misleading users into trusting the fraudulent operation.

## 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.
