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: 2026-05-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-28 10:20:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-28 10:19:49 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:29:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e6d73-8a62-762c-a0d4-8efff00da1f8/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/official-darkmatter-market.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.official-darkmatter-market.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=official-darkmatter-market.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/official-darkmatter-market.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/official-darkmatter-market.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:48:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain official-darkmatter-market.com is a high-risk generic phishing site currently active and posing as the DarkMatter darknet marketplace. This crypto drainer targets users seeking secure Monero transactions, attempting to steal login credentials and digital assets. The domain was created on May 04, 2026, and resolves to IP 172.67.221.113. It is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal flags this domain with 4 out of 95 security vendors marking it as malicious, and it appears on one security blocklist. AlienVault OTX has recorded it in four threat intelligence pulses, indicating active community tracking. The page title, "DarkMatter | Leading Secure Monero Darknet Marketplace," is a direct impersonation of the legitimate DarkMatter service. PhishDestroy identifies this as a confirmed phishing operation with high risk, and users should avoid any interaction with the site. Recommendations include never entering credentials or wallet information, reporting the domain to authorities, and using verified links from trusted sources only. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: d2120e1b7fc12121437371307a91bb46caaa01102c7bbc0298dc2ac6d452f289 ## 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/official-darkmatter-market.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=official-darkmatter-market.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.
