Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies morsecode-translator.net as an under investigation domain with a specific threat type of generic phishing, which poses a significant risk to users who may unknowingly provide sensitive information. This domain was flagged due to various technical indicators, including its recent creation on June 16, 2026, and registration through Squarespace Domains II LLC, with an IP address of 216.198.79.1, and an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt / YR1, and currently appears on 1 security blocklist, while having a clean record on VirusTotal with 0/95 detections, indicating that it has not been flagged by any prominent security software yet. To mitigate the risk posed by morsecode-translator.net, users are advised to be cautious when providing personal information on this domain, and consider alternative trusted sources for morse code translation, and keep their antivirus software up to date to protect against potential future threats, and also monitor their online accounts for any suspicious activity, as the domain is still active and may evolve to pose a more significant threat in the future [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260618-35845E Favicon MD5: 17df9004003ff047e6fafffbbbd6c4be TLS cert SHA-256: 1b8c79a5f5f1aafb78d9fc9bcd9c20c293d5976e7a9277f72240bd6c6b638c7a ## 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/morsecode-translator.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=morsecode-translator.net 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.
