# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ny-esspresso.help ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-30 09:51:24 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ny-esspresso.help/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: binance (and: bitget, bybit, foundation, ledger, okx) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/namesilo-killed-our-twitter https://phishdestroy.io/xmrwallet-namesilo-exposed Nameservers: maria.ns.cloudflare.com, nero.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-01-01 Expires: 2027-01-01 Page title: Espresso Claim Portal HTTP response: 429 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-01-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-01-02 14:00:25 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-30 09:20:39 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 04:33:16 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b7f00-ff0b-7008-93f1-806d647007f4/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ny-esspresso.help crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ny-esspresso.help Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ny-esspresso.help AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ny-esspresso.help URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ny-esspresso.help/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:58:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ny-esspresso.help as a high-risk phishing domain designed to deceive users. The site posed as an "Espresso Claim Portal" to trick visitors into submitting sensitive information under false pretenses. Such phishing attempts can lead to identity theft, financial loss, or unauthorized account access. This phishing campaign operated by mimicking a legitimate service, encouraging victims to enter personal or financial details. The domain was flagged by 11 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and appeared on two security blocklists. Although currently taken offline, it previously resolved to the IP 188.114.97.3 and was registered via NameSilo, LLC on January 1, 2026. If you visited ny-esspresso.help, it is critical to avoid sharing any personal data and to monitor your financial accounts for unusual activity. Users should also run updated antivirus scans and consider changing passwords for any accounts that might be compromised. Reporting the incident to your IT department or relevant authorities can help mitigate potential damage. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 99b5446fdb0675412588659f6eacf34bd66b95ddb4d340801d98d6b8f297a149 ## 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/ny-esspresso.help/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ny-esspresso.help 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.
