# PhishDestroy threat dossier — mysterycrypto.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 13:11:17 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/mysterycrypto.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 62/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Crypto.com ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/94 security vendors flagged this domain URLQuery: 1 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 216.24.57.1 (US, San Francisco) ASN: AS397273 Render Hosting org: Render Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["ns45.domaincontrol.com", "ns46.domaincontrol.com"] Registered: 2026-04-22 Page title: MysteryCrypto ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-07-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: a04b88f924d697a95356d0e1d1f564a7593d791c34e2cf586b71bbfc3b05b14e ## 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: 2026-04-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-22 17:48:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-22 14:49:30 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 07:40:05 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 03:12:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019db5a8-1a3d-704c-9987-b27fa5974d80/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5ee19461-bb0a-4c34-816d-dc681738f10a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mysterycrypto.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mysterycrypto.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mysterycrypto.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mysterycrypto.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mysterycrypto.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-22 17:49:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain mysterycrypto.com is currently classified as an active brand impersonation threat that targets Crypto.com users. This domain is under investigation due to its impersonation of the well-known cryptocurrency platform Crypto.com, potentially aiming to deceive users into credential theft or crypto asset draining. According to detailed intelligence, mysterycrypto.com was created on June 29, 2025, and is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC. The domain resolves to the IP address 216.24.57.1 and is secured by an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. At this time, VirusTotal shows a clean record with 0 out of 95 antivirus and security vendors flagging this domain, indicating no current detection. There are no blocklist records or trust score anomalies reported so far, which can make it appear legitimate to unsuspecting users. Despite the absence of detections on VirusTotal, the active status and impersonation of a reputable crypto brand pose a significant risk. Users should exercise extreme caution when interacting with mysterycrypto.com, especially avoiding the submission of any login credentials or private information. Security teams and endpoint protection tools should consider proactive blocking or monitoring of this domain and its IP. Continued surveillance is advised as the threat remains under investigation and could evolve or begin malicious activity in the future. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260422-6E5CAC Favicon MD5: 4d17b4db6f3f16fc0ce23f6dc05481f2 TLS cert SHA-256: a04b88f924d697a95356d0e1d1f564a7593d791c34e2cf586b71bbfc3b05b14e ## 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/mysterycrypto.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mysterycrypto.com 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.
